This game had some lovely visuals and music. The boss parts really annoyed me, however, since you're going in blind, and if you didn't bring the appropriate Thing card (or used it at the wrong moment in the battle), then you might as well reset the game, because it's impossible to win at that point. A better way would have been to make the thing card optional, but harder to win without it.
And don't get me started on the boss battle that requires 3 thing cards to be used in a particular order, and requires 1000 coins per attempt (no spoilers).
There are several minigames in the game where you need to get a perfect (or close to perfect) score or attempt in order to proceed...with the main story! At least save that kind of stuff for completionists, don't put it in the main storyline...
