Why does having required fights make anything better?
The uniqueness, bizarreness, made wonderland far superior to anything in KH2. Saving Donald/Goofy from their cages fighting card soldiers (unique world-specific enemies which don't fucking EXIST in KH2) also the Cheshire cat following you around.

I'd agree with you if not for one simple fact: Bambi. Bambi dancing across my screen as I pick up the MP bubbles injects pure serotonin into my brain. It's not subjective, there's also the yellow line outside the MP bar in KH1 that feels sooo good to fuel up in KH1. KH2's magic feels yucky and gross.

What about leaf bracer, using cure shouldn't be a punishment.
>Your MP bar increases in 2 too
Huh? It's a singular bar, if it ever increases it's barely noticeable. Donald having a fat MP bar and Goofy having a fat HP bar was a purposeful decision in KH1, made it clear who was the tank and who was the mage. KH2 the party felt less impactful, they were always knocked out. Another reason I prefer KH1 over KH2.
