Claymates!
I remember really liking this game! Like, a lot, when I was little. One of those games where it was so weird, but it was bright, and a fun platformer. Really unique!
Then I played it again and wondered how my kid self had the patience to get to almost the last world, and my critical side began to set in on the um, interesting design. Oh also getting a new form only to get hit like right after and lose it.

The game has a lot of charm indeed, and I loved using the different animals, especially the rat (BLAZE PROCESSING, seriously that shit was fast), but the problem was the level design. You couldn't really enjoy the speed because the levels have this annoying maze design that warp you from one point to another all the time.
I never really completed the game as a kid, the ocean levels were too much for my kid self. A shame because the japan levels are actually more fun.
And yeah, that map screen music is so soothing, brings back a lot of warm memories.
You know what my actual favorite part of the game was? the bonus stage where you need to bound on a check board

(skip to 9:15 here).
That was actually fun, but too short, would have loved a game mode consisting of only those bonus levels.

Ohh yes I agree. Always liked this, even if it was kinda hard for me to get to back in the day. You're also right about the level design, I hate to be anal about a unique game but it really doesn't let all the abilities shine. Hell it's a chore to get through in the default form...
This game also unearthed practically a trope I just love in videogames.
>Kid/teen has their relative/partner kidnapped
>They just gotta go out and fucking get em back
>Like, right now
This, Pitfall for Genesis and Nosferatu come to mind. Dunno if that's just childlike wonder that never went away, like "hey, a kid just like me on an adventure!" but I always love that shit.
Any other good clay games?

If you like those bonus levels you will love bound high for vb.

ClayFighter 64 is good. The Neverhood. Skullmonkeys. Platypus. Kirby Rainbow Curse.

Oh yeah, Bound High looks really fun, I do have a VB but I need to get a flashboy.

StarTropics also does this.

Primal Rage.
Rampage World Tour looks like clay but I think its 3d prerendered.

This was the first SNES game that ever crashed for me on a physical copy, after years of renting games. Like it just hard froze and dumped some code output about where the error was.

You mean 63 1/3

I thought it was soooo ahead of its time. The taffy guy looked like real clay!!! I picked it up again a year ago and couldn't understand what I saw in it lol.
