3)You return ONCE more to gain something to begin the end game. Each one seems to have a diff hook

So I can see folks having issues with going through the same areas multiple times

This kind of sounds like what you have to do in Donkey Kong 64 once you gain access to the rest of the characters, in order to complete the game 100%

I still haven't played the game (I know, what am I waiting for), but if that really does turn people off, it sounds like it would be justified.
