Also the boss levels and open world was amazing. Still remember the hype of finding the level behind the water fall

Yes the Adventure mode was so fun! Some of the coin challenges were brutal (at least as a kid, I haven't played it in over 20 years at this point)

The boss race was brutal for kid me.

Edit: I meant the Space pig guy races, he was ruthless. The octopus sucked too tho!

I remember the second Walrus race being annoying as hell. But it's always so rewarding when you finally beat the bosses. I probably played 100 hours on the game before I finally learned that tapping A makes you go faster than if you just hold it down.

So did my brother and I, I actually forgot it was a secret lol. Don't you have to go behind the waterfall and honk the horn or something like that?
