Test Notes:

*Runs at a mostly stable 30 FPS on Switch 2. Slight drops observed when moving through areas with dense foliage. Slight frame drops were also observed throughout when playing in handheld mode.

*Geometry shadow ghosting observed.
*Slight ghosting on Kong and enemy models.
*Noticeable motion blur occurs most of the time.

*Observed foliage morphing in and out of place while traveling.
*Observed texture ‘sliding’ on some geometry.
*Noticeable pop-in present with some geometry even changing color.

*Enemies often spawn off-camera in areas.
*Enemies clip through geometry on occasion. Nothing game-breaking encountered.

*When smashing through a path on the ground, polygon stretching occurred on the falling rocks.
*A horizontal reflection line would usually appear on the bottom of the screen in areas with water. More noticeable with an overhead camera angle.

*Cutscene transitions were occasionally choppy.
*After the 3rd major boss encounter, a still-image would appear on screen during the in-game cutscene.
*On a few occasions, Kong would get stuck in place when jumping on ledges. When this occurs, you can only reload a save.

*Target lock-on is unoptimized due to an awkward camera angle by design.
*The map in the pause menu lacks any indicator of position limiting its utility.

*No crashes experienced.

Content Completed:

*Main Story completed.
*24/25 Ascension Events completed.
*13/25 Collectables found.

Additional Notes:

*Lighting and cel-shading are significantly downgraded in handheld mode. Several enemies have exaggerated reflections and the display is noticeably softer all around.

*Choppy scrolling in the end credits. Credit headers were often misaligned and overlapped names in a couple of instances.

*Tested on firmware 21.1.0
