I don't know how to explain it, but with the audio it's like the music and sound effects are mixed in a way that they cancel each other out. The music is constantly playing on an endless loop and it's so forgettable it may as well be white noise, and about the only sound effect I can hear is the regular energy beam. There's no ambience at all. No real audio cues, except for obnoxious beeping when you're at low health or low missiles that repeats AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN if you shift in and out of morph ball. Nothing stands out at all. I even cut the music volume to 50%, and everything still just sounds so muted.


It turns out my Switch 2 decided at some point to change the system audio settings from "Surround" to "Automatic" which just means stereo. So, my sound was terrible because I was losing most of the audio. The sound effects and ambience are actually much richer, hooray!
