It's a family game. Literally... my parents and I have good memories of playing this together. 'Ragdoll physics multiplayer game' is a vibrant genre to this day, and this was one of the first.
Such a fun game, but it totally ruins your joystick if you play it consistently on an N64 controller. I met one of the N64 QA testers for this game once and he confirmed this, it's not just me.
