I love this game with so much unconditional adoration, especially this boss fight. The idea of a rhythm game being a 3D platformer AND have great bosses of different genres of music?! Unheard of! But this game takes the idea and runs with it, maybe not greatly at some points, but it tries its hardest, and I love it. The subtle jokes in her design and attacks, like her trident being the USB symbol, the fish blockages being battery meters, the dropping and circling fish being almost similar to calligraphy pens, everything just AHH, it's all so good! I would love a NSR 2, which could improve on things it didn't do so well in the first, namely the end boss.
