This game truly isn’t as bad as some YouTubers who say it “killed a genre” will have you believe. It’s not perfect, but it’s a decent 3D collectathon that has a lot going for it. Fun characters, great soundtrack by Grant Kirkhope, nifty locales to explore & solid gameplay all around. It is a little too overzealous with collectibles, can be glitchy & has some tedious back-and-forth to the Tag Barrel, but those aren't enough to bring it down that much for me. Another worthwhile N64 platformer.
