I loved the game. I used to watch my brothers play it when I was 7 (there were like 8 and 10 at the time so I would just watch them) and I was entertained even by that. Then I played it and I still pull it up from time to time. I just beat it over a year ago for fun. I loved all the levels, especially Zoness!
That level with the green water and the sad but pretty music. That was so much fun. I love how Peppy supported you and told you to just believe and follow your father's example. Then you had to take out all the search lights and I always restarted the level if I was spotted by one.
Andross was creepy though. How his gnarly teeth and beady eyes are all up in your face. And if you did the fast version of the game, he appears in the sun with that evil laugh. Scared me shitless.
And yes, Macbeth was a bitch if you didn't switch all the switches. I would kill myself off so I could start at the checkpoint and try again. I burned up 10 arwings at once doing that trick too. But its cool watching the train explode.
And then there was Aquas (I know I'm not getting these in the right order!) which remined me of an underground Roman empire. I like the music in that too but the exploding starfish got on my nerves a lot. But I loved killing those fish with the lights on their heads. That was pretty entertaining. Note: you have to get 100 hits to get a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
Lastly, in my memory anyway, I liked Katina because it reminded me of Independence Day. And you're introduced to Star Wolf and his team. They were all douchbags. There was also Sector Z (at least if I remember correctly) where you get ambushed. That one made me sad when you didn't save Great Fox.
Yeah its a fantastic game.
I still hate Slippy.
