Immediately, you're taken aback by how ugly it all is. When upscaled and in RGB quality, the pre-rendered assets for 2D sprites clash horribly with the 3D background. It's nowhere near as seamless as a visual style Donkey Kong Country (which funnily enough released the same month as this did in Japan), but somehow, it's all the more interesting to look at because of it. Its colorfulness and dank 90s SEGA designs are obvious boons to its dated aesthetic, which is somewhere between Toy Story on the Genesis and the aforementioned DKC. The endearing part of it is that there almost certainly will never be another game that looks quite like it, which is refreshing in today's age of throwbacks, revivals, and 'memberberries.
