The mechanics and everything are really sound but
The sprite style clashing is really annoying and honestly sort of ugly.
It wouldn't be so bad if the content within a level (or better yet within a world) was on a unified style, but some of the levels really do feel like you just offloaded a load of random graphics in at once and called it a day. The pseudo 3D of DKC sprites don't work with flat Mario BGs, and Metal Slug cars stick out next to Mario blocks and photorealistic backgrounds.
