I didn't like that it set the precedent to have yoshi speak and with a terrible voice instead of making the cool noises he did previously. That has mostly ruins yoshi for me :(

i used to own it, i really didn't like you just do 1 stage on each world and have to redo everything just to have completion...

What is unsettling?

The godawful cacophony of Yoshi's masquerading as "music," the storyline, the life meter with the creepy smiley face... really, what isn't unsettling about it?

I love that game, and all the oppinions in this topic are wrong.

It's cute, and so is yoshis voice. He doesn't speak, he makes yoshi sounds.

And it is super easy.

So like the game has this really cutesy tone and aesthetic but when you reach certain points or whatever the game just feels... wrong.

The music changes from normal to creepy (not cute Nintendo creepy either. Like actually unsettling), your health meter is a flower face thing and it gets visibly sadder as you lose health, when you have 1 health left the stage music slows way down and drops, and the bosses and shit are weird.

Like the first boss I fought was some cotton candy cloud monster thing that was designed in a really cute way, but the music playing during the fight was distorted and weird and the thing had a generic looking smiley face while it was jumping around.

What a disappointing game.

It was such a weird decision to play one stage in each world. And sniffing around for melons was a boring time waster. No unlockables or bonus games. Too short and easy.

DKC 3 gives a feeling like there is something wrong, the colors are off, the music generates a sense of urgency and the worlds are weirdly desolate and barren, unlike DKC1 and DKC2.

There is a strong something is really wrong feeling

I found it so weird that yoshis island was all cartoony and hand drawn, while yoshis story was all CGI.

Even then, I expected yoshis story to be a graphical tour de force. If donkey Kong country in the SNES was so good looking, the same technique in the N64 would surely blow our minds right?

Well actually it was a blurry mess and DKC looked better. Weird huh?

I cant explain it

I got a similar vibe in Spyro 2 (PS1) when I got to the first hub world and met the side characters. The characters (voice acting and animations) and music seemed off, like something wasn't right and they were going to betray me at some point.


Yes!

I wonder what generates this feeling?

At least I'm not a grown ass man who gets legitimately creeped out by a sad flower and slowed down music.

The game was a bit unsettling for me as a kid too. Dunno, there was something very unfitting about the Jelly Pipe level with that weird theme.

I think its the weird music and animations

Nah, I probably meant the overall enemy designs

I didn't get that impression. The snowman boss is creepy but that was about it imo. The world's seemed fine to me, and while the music wasn't as good as the previous games, I didn't dislike it.
