this game moves a lot faster than the other gba ones due to the dashes you have from the start, which makes it pretty invigorating to play. the graphics are also really good for a gba game, especially in castle b areas. i don't really understand why some people dislike this game as much as they do, mainly when talking about the music, which i think is one of the best soundtracks in the series in how eerie and otherworldly it is.
