History YMMV / UmiharaKawase

** CultClassic: by extension.
* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Again, fish. With legs.

* PolishedPort: The DS port of Shun, which was made by the original developers, and had a good example of the game's famous physics engine in it.
* [[PolishedPort Polished]] PortingDisaster: The PC port of Sayonara, while it does run at 60 FPS, has nearly no graphics options (the fullscreen option is just an upscaled version of the windowed mode).
* PortingDisaster: The [=PSP=] port of ''Shun'', which got the franchise's trademark rope physics completely wrong.

* VindicatedByHistory: It was a colossal bomb when it first came out. Nowadays (partly due to Creator/JewWario, as well as various Youtube playthroughs like the one by LetsPlay/ZetaPlays), it's considered one of the greatest platformers in the 16 bit era by those who know of it.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Most of the BGM is really good, but special mention goes out to [[http://umihara.badlose.com/music/007_Umihara%20Kawase%20-%20Oouna%20(Mighty%20Deep)%20Theme.mp3 Oouna]].

* PolishedPort: The DS port of Shun, in stark contrast to...

* AndTheFandomRejoiced: [[http://www.siliconera.com/2013/10/28/yumis-odd-odyssey-aka-farewell-umihara-kawase-coming-early-2014/ Sayonara Umihara Kawase is being localized as Yumi's Odd Oddysey.]]

* PolishedPort: The DS port, in stark contrast to...

* GoddamnedBats: There's a bunch of enemies that can be this, especially when they spawn in uncomfortable locations. The octopi (who are hard to kill but touching them doesn't directly kill you) and the bubbles that the GiantEnemyCrab spits (which have semi-random movement, knock you on your ass and are more than likely to bounce you into a hole, onto some spike or onto the boss) are probably the worst, though.

** The Field 40 tadpole is probably the very worst, however, since there is little to nothing you can do to prevent the frogs from getting into the water. The tadpole is easy to avoid, the frogs, less so.

* FetishFuel: Umihara herself, apparently. There is far more hentai of her than you'd expect for a game this obscure. The provocativeness of some official artwork does not help.
