I don't think I can say this game is perfect anymore after giving it another go because 100%ing most of the levels is a travesty and I kept feeling that Yoshi was a little too slippery BUT it still remains a near-complete encapsulation of everything I want out of video games: overflowing with love, phenomenal presentation in every department, high skill ceiling yet still fun to mess around in, got me smiling at every moment thinking about it. it's the realness
