Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you’d expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS’s dual screens. It’s also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I’m so sad there’s no sequel :(
DUDE! I had completely forgotten about that game. As a kid i was so excited to be able to be a dog!
If you really want to replay it, with Rare joining Microsoft it’s somewhere in Xbox game pass. Controls do not hold up well, especially C-Up for jump
