Hmmm? I *liked* Cool Spot on the SNES. I just pulled it out the other weekend and played it as a matter of fact. It controls very well (it's very responsive, and intuitive). The little animations are very amusing and entertaining. (I love it when the Cool Spot sticks hit tongue out at the player! :-) The music is pretty good, certainly peppy and appropriate for a "bubbly" game like it's supposed to be. About the only thing I didn't like about it was the bathtub level where if you fall into the water, your die, and there were places where you'd have "leaps of faith". Leaps of faith are a very bad thing in platformers. (Rayman on the PSX is also very very bad with leaps of faith. ugh. The "music" worlds are awful that way. Too bad, otherwise PSX Rayman is an okay game). What did you not like about Cool Spot? EdF
