Barely played the originals so went into this pretty much blind. Loved all the story levels and some of the alternate modes were cool. Challenges seemed great at first but then you see the stage counts and realize you can't just pause or suspend. You have to do them all in 1 sitting and without hitting retry once like I did because dumb. Finished all the main game levels but master(should come back eventually) and marathon which is 100+ stages together fuck that. Tried out all the party games which seemed good except for Monkey Target. Went back into the original to feel the difference and yeah its trash in this game. Favourite party games are fight, golf and shot.

Unfortunately like that 1 annoying thing in challenge modes, there is another annoying thing present in all of main game. If you die like <5 times in a stage it asks you if you want to turn helper mode on. It repeats this for every stage in every session with no option to turn it off???? Seeing that graphic every time, pressing no everytime, having to also press skip each time to get past the replay. So many little things added up to bring down this game which they could have easily circumvented by having toggle options in the menu. Yeah the dlc is shameless too.
