Moveset has a decent variety of options, but 1/3 of the collectables can be resumed in "Give character money" while the other 2/3 can be very hit or miss. The final section is quite good tho.

The story kinda feels glued with bubblegum to the experience. I understand that it's not so heavy focused but it felt like barely anything happened.

The general aesthetic could be resumed in "French cartoon but with below-average weeb levels"

It's a fine game but it's clear that they didn't have a clear focus on what to do for the first entry.

My favorite part is when Fang says 'It's Snooting Time' and snoots all over the place.

Tell me this game aged poorly and I'll cut the water supply in your house.

It's interesting how it expands and changes many aspect, but there's something about it that it left me feeling ... odd.

Oh, and Olimar is still the best character in the game.
They try to give some personality to the rescue course but I don't really care about any of them. In fact, I now kinda hate them for how obnoxious they are.
I'm not a big fan of Alph, Brittany and Charlie but at the very least It made sense for them to talk over what was happening on screen since it was happening TO THEM.

This game feels like some kind of blurry dream.
I've barely played this game as a kid but, for some reason, certain minigame got ingrained in my memory in such an odd way.

It expands and improves in every aspect.
A bit more linear but doesn't really matter.

Odd yet charming game. The late-game could really use more activities and secrets, as many events get monotonous after a while, especially those related to places like the amusement park.

Easily the best moveset Mario ever had, but design lacks interesting challenges since there are too many moons and are too easy to collect.

Not as strategic and difficult as the first.
Not as explorable and varied as the second.

It's in a middle point were it feels as the first and second game without what made them special.

I don't get the satisfaction that I'm becoming better at the game with each playthrough, but rather that it gets easier.

It's communist propaganda done right.

Disfunctional in anything that tries. Mods are the only and best reason you'll have to play this.

If it wasn't for a few tracks and the bosses. It'd be perfect.

Grindy? yes
Bad online? yes
Good race tracks design? ABSOLUTELY!
They even managed to improve many from Nitro Fueled.

Controllers are slippery but track designs are not bad but it's mostly hit or miss.
Tho I'd recommend playing them on Nitro Fueled.
