I understood the game to be tough to beat all the content for, and this understanding was correct. I beat the game, the core of the mountain, and a few B-Sides while collecting the majority of its strawberries. However, Chapter 9 on the moon out-puzzled me and the difficulty just got to be too absurd for me with some of its mechanics. I didn't even get to the C-Sides or golden berries (those golden berries look ridiculous to get). Still, for just beating the game, it's got a great scale of difficulty. The main game also has an interesting draw with its storyline. Madeline's struggle with climbing the mountain is as much with herself as it is with the climb. It deals with depression, insecurities, and a friend from the magical land of Seattle. Narrative-wise, the game peaked with the Reflection level. It had her mirror-self show off her powers in the face of calm-down techniques in a surreal beginning of the level, and at the end you face off against her in a chase battle that's one of the best bosses a tough high-speed platformer's ever given us. Then you get double dash-abilities. That's pretty cool. This is a worthy recommendation to any fan of the genre. If you just wanna go fast and beat hard levels, this game makes you feel good doing so. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/ssb/images/0/0d/Sheik-Victory3-SSB4.png ...
