2 variations of the download are likewise readily available: ‘Vanilla’ is successfully the initial video game however with the brand-new redrawn sprites; ‘Plus’ permits all 386 animals to be available on one save file while likewise modifying the in-game fitness instructors to represent the artists who added to the task.
A few of the redesigns here are amazing, though others have actually plainly been provided for laughs more than anything else.

You can take a look at the complete lineup by means of a Google doc.
Yes, while the styles aren’t precisely constant, this is nonetheless an enjoyable and captivating task that commemorates one of the greatest entries in the series (in this author’s modest viewpoint). Well worth having a look at if you have the ability to do so.
