A little too easy, but a fun experience. It was nice to revisit this game with a fresh coat of paint, I loved this series as a kid. I really like each of the different worlds, the space one is my favorite but they all feel unique and have fun gimmicks. I enjoyed going for all the collectibles, I got all of the letters and mazes in every level. I also enjoyed how the mazes reflected the gimmicks in each of the worlds, that kept things interesting. The music was unexpectedly banging as well.

I do think this was too easy. I remember the original being much more challenging, but I was also like 7 when I played it so who knows. I also ran into more than a few invisible walls and guard rails, which kind of took away from the experience. Coming from Pseudoregalia recently, going where I wasn't supposed to is something the game assumes I will do and rewards me for it, but here it kinda forbids that- which mostly makes sense, but felt disappointing when I eyed a potential shortcut and was denied that chance.

If you enjoyed this series back in the day, definitely pick this up on sale. It's a pretty faithful remake, and a lot of fun for what it is
