>You sure you're just not coping because you were stuck with the n64 back when it was contemporary
Didn't own an N64 back then, nor do I own one now. Never even played on real N64 hardware, just through emulation only a few years ago. Paper Mario is a good game. Cope, seethe, dilate.

Spyro's better

The PC ports are pretty good, even if they are just.emulation. I thought they were kinds shit at first due to massive lag in some areas. Later I found that original hardware lagged that much. Fucking unbareable in one level that had yetis and an ice cave. Thought my fucking overclock.was failing

Yeah, only ever owned 2, 3, Hero's Tail, and the GBA trilogy. I'm pretty excited for the remake, never got a chance to play the first game game and it looks pretty good so far. Hopefully we get some more Spyro games in the future with the classic gameplay style

In Donkey Kong 64, everything was incredibly sluggish on top of the game already having framerate problems. Not to mention the worlds were gigantic and full of a whole lot of nothing most of the times. The puzzles were also aggravating and repetitive. Finally, five different characters, each with their own unique abilities, meant you'd be backtracking through worlds AT LEAST five times each (since said abilities need to be unlocked in the first place).

Compared to Spyro, you only have one character who functions quickly and properly on a basic level. The stages can range from incredibly small (for real, go look at Dark Hollow again) to decently sized and never overstay their welcome. There were a few times where collecting things was incredibly satisfying (looking at you, Tree Tops), and the artstyle and music kept the entire experience from becoming a snorefest all the way through.

So when you really think about it, it's the pacing through and between each level that makes Spyro more enjoyable, though the ambience provided by the music and art certainly helped.

DK64 had way better bosses though. The bosses in Spyro 1 sucked.

That's a bonus area from the level Icy Peak in Spyro 3. You supercharge around the track, chasing thieves who have stolen eggs. It's pretty fun.
