Sword of Vermilion
>towns and cities are overhead view
>overworld and dungeons are first-person dungeon crawlers
>random battles are overhead view
>boss battles are side view also you can't jump
Are other such games with such schizo switching between playstyles?

It's fun if you have a zapper; pretty hard though.

>Regular platformer mode
>Jumbo hack 'n slash mode
>Overhead key hunting/portal jumping mode

Legitimately one of my favorite Namco games. All 3 modes lead into interesting scenarios.

Super Ninja Boy on the SNES has action combat except for boss fights, which are nonsensically turn-based jrpg-styled. Also the most autistic password system ever. And if you're playing co-op, both characters are on the overworld and both are capable of finding random encounters, which means moooore interruptions. ... Good times.
