YMMV / Loose Ends

• More Popular Spin Off: Of both Mugman, which Sammy, (a prototyope of) Dez, and Maggie made their debuts in, and Pike's Lagoon, in which Sammy and Derby both appeared as minor characters. Even fans of the former two works widely agree that Loose Ends is an improvement in almost every way, and it has largely overshadowed them.
• Shallow Parody: "Ace of Mace" can easily come off as a rather mean-spirited Take That! at the Super Smash Bros. competitive fandom, with the competitors unable to grasp the concept of a game being "fun".
