I replayed this classic for it's 10th Anniversary. Happy Birthday!

I wanted to see how well this one held up, and I had some worries about the pacing of the game considering Hypernova and some other stuff. I'm glad to say that these issues were not as big as I anticipated.

Hypernova tends to have a slower pace but it only shows up every couple levels or so, I didn't find it to be a pacebreaker. The final world is sort of a "best of" compilation which I didn't mind much either. Having a fun copy ability definitely helps with the pacing in my opinion.

New copy abilities are very good here too. Bell was fun to traverse with, while Beetle shredded the bosses. Circus did both, and it's one of my favorite copy abilites now.

It's a bit of a shortlived experience, but maybe I'm saying that because I didn't go for all the sun stones.
I recommend you guys revisit this game as well. It's not too long, and it's a fun time killer! I'm ready to revisit Robobot next, yippee.
