I played so much Sonic Rush that my R button broke (and then so much Sonic Battle in the bottom slot that my L button broke too lol). Rush Adventure and Colors DS are also good. The sailing in Rush Adventure is kinda dumb, but the actual levels are pretty good. Rush 1 has some bad level design, but the game feels great to play anyway.
looking at a list of all the ds games, its weird to thing how much low effort and licenced shovelware there used to be in the 2000s compared to now, or even the 2010s. i guess games got prohibitably expensive for those smalltime studios to pump out janky games on the newer consoles. i know janky games still come out, but i feel like less and less of them are strange movie tie-ins or memorably bad platformers. perhaps this is just some old good new bad talking but i think that has a lot to do with how Diffrent(tm) the games industry feels now
dev costs went to the moon, publishers have much lower risk tolerances and higher expectations for ROI everything about console dev has become too expensive for a quick licensed cash-in or something handed to a smaller studio losing that middle-tier of developer, more than indie, but not AAA, has been a disaster for the games industry
