However, and I'm not sure if this is my computer or settings or what, I kept having minigames crash on me. I couldn't do the one in DK's Jungle Adventure because it wouldn't load, a few of the ones you buy in shops wouldn't load, and probably more I'm forgetting, so I just can't finish this fully. Hell, even the final boss fight with Bowser I couldn't finish because it chose a minigame that wouldn't load.
The palm tree fight was incredible.

I'm not really sure what they were going for here narratively? Maybe nothing? It wasn't particularly clever narratively, and they stop giving new voice lines after the first time you press the button, from there, it's pretty much doing the same thing repeatedly with varying degrees of creepiness, and one more go-through that did something a little more interesting with the puzzles.
I think it does succeed in creepiness, at least. I wasn't very scared cause I had the impression that this wasn't the kind of game to throw an actual scare at you or change its rules, but if they put this kind of buildup in a different game, it'd be pretty effective, I think.
The light switch bit and confetti was funny, admittedly.
