Huh, same here! I have it on GBA and have been periodically playing it since I was a kid, but I’ve never actually been more than 2/3 or so in. I was never able to put my finger on why - it seems like an amazing game with its charming aesthetic, good controls, it does a lot of things well - but now that you say it I think you’re right, the level design and emphasis on checking every nook and cranny really does make it kind of a slog. I just booted up my last save and played a bit of the next level, and the amount of backtracking, secret side areas, and mini puzzles is kinda overwhelming.

Yoshi’s Island for SNES is a game I have picked up multiple times but never really finished. It has some of the most beautiful visuals in any SNES game and the music is equally iconic. I always fall in love with it when playing the first levels, but somehow I always grow tired of it about halfway through.
I think the levels are overly long, and the collectathon aspect becomes annoying. It turns more into a chore than an enjoyment. It’s frustrating, because it’s a game I really want to love throughout.
