This game is great, I had it a few years ago for N64.  The dialogue and sound effects are hilarious, the stages are fun and challenging.  It is not like some newer games that only take a few hours to beat all the way through.  There are fun "missions" in the towns, my favorite was always finding all the little kids playing hide and seek.  This is also a great game for 2 players because you can actually work together instead of against each other and you can jump in at any time during a stage.  Overall this game is exellent!  If you like games like mario or zelda, this game is for you.  And it is funny! I wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone that has not played it.
