Most people didn't like the water sprayer. I think it had some of the best platform elements from any in the series...especially the levels where you lost your spray pack. But I think there was a lot of negativity towards Nintendo in general last generation...so games like this and Zelda: Wind Waker were criticized for taking Nintendo down the wrong path towards the kiddie style.
Of course....we all learned how amazing both those games were.
Edit...for future reference...you need to spell out the game in the title. Check the forum rules.
