oh yeah, i forgot about the menus in my rant yesterday
you know how in legend of zelda on the n64 how you pause and use the shoulder buttons and stuff to change the screen of the menu to map and stuff? yeah, they did that here, except it's tab. just tab. so once you pick up your first cosmetic item and the map tool, you have 3 menus to toggle through. they were afraid of adding extra keybinds or something, so they didn't add a map keybind (like in metroid? which this game is also trying to emulate)
