Starfox Adventures?

SPM was so dull to me. It was like a visual novel, so little actual gameplay.

Sticker was more of an RPG than Super. Super was a platformer. Sticker was an RPG, just where the battles didn't matter

Super Paper Mario was an experiment that wasn't meant to take the place of anything. It still kept the zany story aspect that people liked about the series. SS began the trend of dumbing down world building, character building, and gameplay. Sticker Star was looking to be fairly standard from the initial screenshots, but then it was gutted.

star fox adventures was a very shitty clone that had incredibly lackluster level design, puzzles, and pacing
nothing besides the graphical fidelity was any good

which part, the banjo one i assume?

honestly i'd say 90% of the people who hate on nuts and bolts haven't played it. it's largely resentment due to the drastic genre shift. to be fair that's understandable because the original trailer made it seem like we were getting a banjo threeie and then had the rug pulled from under us. but on its own merits it's a perfectly okay game.

as for tooie, it is just not a good game. it's inferior to kazooie in every possible way

Anything the "original games" failed to do that Sticker Star did was not something they were interested in doing anyway

Star Fox Adventures

^^^

They took Dinosaur Planet that was originally going to be released on n64, and simply added star fox to the gc version bc of his similarities to the original protagonist

The game even mentions Dinosaur Planet a few times in dialogue

It was awful and i got it for $7 in a discount bin years ago

SFA is a Zelda clone that was clearly made by people who have no clue what makes Zelda fun.

banjo tooie is a game that is more interested in padding out the experience than delivering an enjoyable one.

almost every single level of design is made the way it is as if to say "how can we drag this out as long as possible?"

the addition of playable mumbo serves no purpose. he literally only exists to waste your time. he's not fun to play, plays the exact same way the entire game, and is just there so you have to run back and forth between his hut once you've used all his stupid pads.

the worlds in tooie are also way bigger, but that in no way is a good thing in this case. they're some of the worst levels in any 3D platformer. barren wastelands that are difficult to navigate due to issues like flat terrain, lack of landmarks and reused textures. Terrydactyland really takes the cake here. i consider it the magnum opus of bad 3D platformer level design. there is literally nothing good about it. even the music sucks. the issue of these wasteland levels is exacerbated by the problem of there being less stuff to collect. way less individual notes to collect, and the same amount of jiggies to collect. oh and the process of getting some of these jiggies, man. take the worst kind of backtracking you can imagine and add it into your already bloated, barren game. there's also so many gimmicks and mini-games in the game that you'll very rarely ever acquire jiggies by any natural means, ie platforming and exploring. the contrast in this between tooie and the original is staggering.

know what helped make the original kazooie so great? being able to get everything in a level your first time through. there's only one example of backtracking in the entire game and it's a more enjoyable experience because of it.

grunty industries is a p infamous level as well. it's not good, but it at least distinguishes its areas via separate floors so you're not exposed to the entire level at once, and there's some neat puzzle elements in play. it's just way too fucking big given how little collectibles it contains .

the game also runs like total shit, with frame drops all over the damn place
