I liked alot of this game... F.L.U.D.D. was awesome, Yoshi was in this game WITHOUT a remake or sequel made (like SM64DS and SMG2). Also, the island theme was awesome, and the levels are very explorable, more then SM64 and much more then SMG/SMG2. And sparky. And Bowser SPOKE!!!
Dislikes are few... Yoshi's death in water wasn't fun, especially when trying to get to that island in Delfino Plaza. However, I can see why this was done, as a whole crapload of the game is full of water, so having yoshi not die in water makes a bit of sense. As MWH would say... OH THE IRONY! And my only other dislike is odd controls of the hover nozzle and rocket nozzle.
