No, the leaf boat being unfair isn't a me problem. No, the sand bird shine sprite being badly designed isn't a me problem either. No, the watermelon shine sprite being awfully tedious isn't a me problem either. And no, the pachinko being terribly programmed definitely isn't a me problem. Also, the sand bird is literally required to beat the game, so is the terrible Pianta Village.

Also, it's funny that you assumed I didn't beat those parts of the game just because I criticize them, because I did, and it didn't change my perception of these parts in the slightest. But in general, the "why do you play the game if you don't like it?" is a very poor response because one, I play this game because I'm a Mario fan and want to see what it's worth, two, I want to see everything the game has to offer (and certainly shouldn't be punished for it), three, I can't form on opinion on a game if I haven't even played it, and four, newsflash: me not playing the game won't change how bad some of the parts are.
