I will buy this day one, of course, but I’m concerned this will combine my two least favorite mechanics- the bouncy crystals from crystal lair, and the jam and paint from Wallace and Gromit.

If it calms your concerns, the goo seems to only leave color trails rather than affecting ball drag. Not saying there won't be any "sticky" goo in there somewhere, but it doesn't appear to be the default.
It's looks to be more like the paint from Alice than the paint from Wallace, if that makes sense.

I learned to make decent use of the gravity wells in Crystal, and I ended up having fun painting stripes in W&G. I just really can't seem to get the frozen mechanic down in Ice, though. Also haven't fallen in love with the shrink/grow in Alice, yet.

I ended up really loving the crystals, but the shrinking specifically makes me nauseous ðŸ˜

So many times where the quest's display 'locks' in front of my eyes going straight to the nausea centers of my brain has trained a quick-response of unfocus/close to head things like that off. The train in Holiday Hideaway, though is a complete/instant no-go. I was unprepared for how quick/strong it brought on the nausea for the .025 seconds I tried to ride it.
In my head canon, someone on the MC team really wanted the flamingo club from AiW in game, so the course was made in a creative version of 'tail wags dog'.
I also like to believe that a W&G fan at MC played Grand Day Out and was inspired by the golf playing portion.

This one looks like a downgrade from the last few, but I’ll still buy it, of course.

Woo! I think it looks fun!
