Comment on A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?

  There were so many issues

  • Final boss was lame and level leading to it was slow and tedious completely killing the momentum
  • Camera system was wonky
  • Rocket nozzle barely got any play
  • Jet nozzle was too difficult to control to be useful outside of specific racing segments
  • Pachinko machine physics were fucked
  • The lily pad level was unfairly difficult
  • There was no way to track which blue coins you found. Like even a grey coin marker for already collected coins would have been super helpful.
  • The reward for getting blue coins was pathetic
  • Yoshi was criminally underutilized. The whole juice mechanic was used like twice.

  The whole thing just felt rushed. Like there was another third of the game that they didn’t get to make.

    If I remember right, both Legend of Zelda Windwaker and Mario Sunshine were either rushed to an end or released early, leading both to come out unfinished. I the details on why are hazy, but I think they were pushed to try and make up for poor sales of the Gamecube at large or to make up for other gaps in the schedule.

      Windwaker had a ton of content cut. The ice island and fire island were both supposed to be full dungeons. Both of those incomplete dungeons later ended up being used in Twilight Princess.

      ::: spoiler Tap for spoiler Hyrule Castle ::: was supposed to be a full dungeon. The tower of the gods was supposed to be longer.
