I literally just beat it a 100% and I have to say it's a janky and evil piece of shit.
I had to do the 155 boxes (the hardest level in the game)ice level multiple times because the box counter is a buggy piece of shit. Also the hitboxes are extremely crappy as I caught explosions that had no business reaching me and also literally landed on lend but the game still treated it like I landed on ice water in the bear riding segments.
The secret colored gems are disgusting, meaning that you need to have a guide to figure them out. The death platforms are never explined, the first stage of the final (non warp zone) world was disgusting as it forced you to knowing in advance that you need to backtrack to the death platform.
Im still salty how shit and unfair this game feels at times like in the dark ruins segments where you need to jump on 3D rotating platforms while you are in 2D view.
Mario 64 shits on this game, any day of the week, mostly for it's polish and fair challenges.
However this game still beats 99% of modern goyslop so i'm still glad I finished it 100% if it pissed me off immensely.
I'm talking about the ntsc PS1 version so idk of the remake changed anything.
