I feel like it’s more sensitive than the original but this is a solid job.

I think it's because the Game Cube had a proportional joystick, and using a keyboard is 100%

For me, it's not really the same without the monkey yelling when you fall off the level. (example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIs7bCOCQj0 )

This is immediately what my mind went to.

If you haven't seen Smiling Friends, you're in for a treat. Zach Hadel is a genius.

The mix of 2D animation, 3D animation, claymation, stop motion, live action rotoscoping, and comping in guest animators like Joel Haver and David Post amazing. You know they appreciate the art form.

You've probably already seen the gif of this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zxL77g1em4
