Good. The game looked good from the outside, and it was definitely something I wanted to buy as a kid.
Real sad it turned out how it did, but I think they can make something incredible if they took another crack at it.
BUT WHYYYYYY?!
The game’s not awful, it’s just broken. The ridiculous quantity and length of load screens was obviously avoidable. Levels try a lot of things that work fine most of the time, but suffer hilarious bugs for no sane reason. There were surely unaddressed playtester notes about how annoying certain bosses were - both for gameplay, and for repetitive audio barks.
I dunno that it needs a full from-scratch remaster, but it could definitely stand some professional updates. Or drop the assets into a new engine so it can take fresh shaders and feel like it’s copying Mario Odyssey instead of Mario Sunshine.
Because the original game isn’t bad on a conceptual level, it’s just dragged down but being buggy as shit.
