There's some really neat and strange ideas here and it's wild to see just how drastically Nintendo was willing to pivot a sequel's direction to the game that put them and the video game industry as a whole onto the map. I just don't think the level design holds up whatsoever, very little of it feels memorable with how many dickish enemy spawns and traps there are mixed with bland climbs or stretches of areas that just don't always mix well together with a cast of 4 very different playable characters that had to be accounted for. Never would have finished this if it wasn't for save states and I don't really feel ashamed to admit that.
