Played it in the Zero Collection on DS (via 3DS backwards compatibility), stopped at the Castle stages. Unfortunately, really mediocre. Story is very good, but everything else left a lot to be desired. The gameplay was changed for the worse, the level design can be extremely frustrating, and the music is annoying. Really disappointed.

Beat on a 3DS, replayed in an emulator on PC, might do 100% if I feel like it. Not really a fan of it, however, I acknowledge that this probably is a decent game for most. It changes up a bunch of the gameply of it's predecessors. This is generally for the worse, and it's not as fun as 1 or 2. I know everyone likes the level design in 3, but not me. I found the design to be pretty weak after the second half, and it ruined what would've been a pretty good game. The graphics are nice and the music is phenomenal, but there's only so many good things to say about it. A hasty recommendation from me.
100%ed on 3DS, then 100%ed again on PC. Just an amazing little platformer that deserves more recognition. The gameplay is satisfying and even better than the first games'. The music? Godlike. The story? Well done. The level design could be a bit better at points, but if you really dig deep into this game, you'll enjoy it. An easy recommendation from me.
Played on PC, considering getting it on Switch. Absolutely worth it in almost every way. There's so much new stuff keeping the game fresh. There's more items, more endings, more music, more everything, really. The only thing that I somewhat dislike about it is the item nerfs, but even then, Repentance is the perfect DLC for this game. Easy recommend.
