Wow, this thing would totally be at home with the excellent 3D exploration platformers on N64. :) And that's a big compliment coming from someone who had some of his greatest gaming experiences in Mario 64. This game has all the fun and frustrations of that era. It took me an hour to find the first stage's coins and goals (kidnapped bears), very little of it being just retracing. And there's a story, and you can stay in a stage after passing a goal, and stage 1 had a good boss ... Awesome :)
