Good
- The tropical setting feels very up lifting.
- there’s something zen about cleaning up the world in Delfino.
- showing a preview of the shine objective is very helpful, instead of going by the small phrase only for the stars in Mario 64.
- the camera controls are so much better. Being able to freely move the camera, not fixed incremental movement. And L button being able to auto position camera behind Mario.
- movement options are great
- using Yoshi was really fun
- sliding on the ground with water is a fast way to get around, which is convenient.
- the run and shoot water controls makes good use of the unique trigger buttons of the GC controller.
- the isolated platforming segments without my fludd were fun. Adds some challenging classic platforming to the gameplay without the crutches of the hover nozzle.
- using fludd is a lot of fun and adds so much variety to the gameplay and platforming.
Bad
- nothing
