This game is underrated, but I get a lot of the main complaints.

Backtracking to pick up collectables with 5 different characters that can't pick up other character's collectables is incredibly tedious.

A lot of the minigames are straight up unfair. Beaver Bother is so notoriously awful that I'm convinced it somehow was missed during testing. The beetle races are also miserable.

The worst thing in the game however was a race with a rabbit. He gets a head start and it's actually impossible to beat him through skill alone, you need to be lucky and have him get caught on an obstacle. I found a YouTube video showing a glitch exploit where you no longer give him a head start, that was the only way I could win.

Mostly everything else was great though. It feels way ahead of its time. The dynamic lighting is a very impressive technical feat for the N64.
