This was one of my favorite games as a kid (how I got my hands on it is another story XD)!
I fondly remember this game, and recently have beaten the game (I did not beat it as a kid, I only got about less than halfway through) on my Xbox 360 through backwards compatibility.
While replaying it, the only tedious parts I recall was the part with the electrocuted water in the 'Barn Boys' chapter (where you had to throw the knives to cut the wires), and the part where you had to carry the keys around in the Spooky chapter (where even the slightest drop would make the key disappear from your hands).
Other than that, I loved everything else in this game! Who couldn't love a giant singing pile of poo (that's a rhetorical question)?
