Aquafina is very clearly a remake of Fiji, though I don't think it shines under that lens very well. Kips does make efforts to bring more color and detail into the level, which I'd normally appreciate, but I think the darker colors and economic presentation of Fiji are too important to excuse Aquafina for neglecting them. Still, I think Aquafina is a fun time for the most part, with some very pretty backgrounds and Kips's consistently upbeat design style. It definitely hasn't held up the best, with a few bugs and performative Japanese word art assets, but I'm personally all for a level being an obvious product of its time if it's cute about it. I do think the glitch effects in the second half are very out of place, even if they attempt to reflect the vocal chopping in the song, but other than that Aquafina is a perfectly fine level even today, if you don't spend too much thought comparing it to Fiji that is.
