Penny's Big Breakaway might have a great move set, and good level design - but there's seemingly no connection between the two. You can pretty much skip every meaningful obstacle by just launching yourself over it, as I'm not sure there is literally a single jump, at least in the main story, that requires you to even use all 3 moves before hitting the ground.

The presentation is somewhat charming, although the characters aren't exactly memorable, and the story feels like the Galaxy and beyond era of Mario - just some light goofy shenanigans to get to some new locations.

Penny's Big Breakaway is kind of fun, but not anything I plan on coming back to.
