Time to try my luck
:rolldice:
Crap.
Considering the limitations of the PS1 controller prior to the Dualshock, I don't suppose it's much of a surprise that the game is basically just several variants on a chase camera. There were some platformers in the era that did try to give the player control of the camera, and results could vary quite a bit, not generally well.

Honestly though, knowing how obsessive I was as a kid, getting to the end of a level and being bombarded with the "You missed X number of boxes" screen would have driven me crazy. I would have been going back and forth across the level forever and not realizing that I didn't have the necessary tool to 100% it. Maybe that's why I just played Final Fantasy games on the PS1 instead.
