Again, it keeps it worthwhile) But yes, the musical medals was VERY annoying and exactly what I as afraid would happen with the rider shows that are based around collectible gizmos. (and again, credit to W for not even coming close to ever doing this. He starts with six memories and gains a few special ones, but no "gotta catch 'em all" or switching and swapping. I heard Fourze was bad at this, with there being so many switches)

Yeah. The medal swapping did seem forced, but compared to Fourze, I actually preferred it. OOO's combo possibilities changing every other week kept things fresh and kept him on his toes.
Fourze had 41 switches, and he used about 20 of them twice, max. It was insane and fights got tedious since Gentarou relied on the same switches because he had no reason to ever not use the likes of Rocket or Cosmic.

As for OOO's end, I actually enjoyed it. Then again, I was one of the few who liked Ankh turning.
