A big thanks to Chows for the spreadsheet to keep track of all the tattle and Auri64 for the recipes, there's a lot of checklist for this game so these were a big help
For someone who had never played this one and only played TTYD (I swear, this game can't have been very well advertised), I can say that I'm pleasantly surprised with how many mechanics and features were present even during the N64 days!
It's clear to me now that TTYD just copied most of the original ideas and cleaned them up a bit. Polished elements aside, they both stand on their own in terms of characters and story. Similar yet different. But the characters in TTYD were obviously much more dynamic and better designed overall.
------------
As for the set, I can say that it's a good one overall, but you need to be quite attentive, especially with keeping track of enemies tattled, recipes you've already cooked, and NPCs you've given letters to.

Bolded means they're either missable or one-time only. The Toad Town enemies are battled at the Dojo when you're ready for them. Many bolded enemies appear alongside bosses, so be careful with them.

You need to make all of them at least once. If you cook a Mystery (you can buy them at Boo Mansion), then it has a chance to make any of the items in the green font. This can save you a lot of time, especially mid-game.

Any of the missed star pieces in the "Overworld" section can be identified by the fortune teller. Ones received through letters or the mayor, you'll need to keep track of on your own since she won't tell you who you've missed.

Store any items that you find on that list to give to the mayor later.

Another reminder worth noting is that you need to make sure to get the Luigi's Diary achievement AFTER beating the final boss but BEFORE the credits. If you don't, you'll have to redo the entire battle + dialogue. Even more annoying if you've climbed down the castle entirely, as I did.
The set is much easier than TTYD on a whole, so if anyone has completed that one, nothing here should be difficult other than keeping track of things, which is a bigger problem in this one.
I think this set is perfect for what this game is. It points you towards seeing everything this game has to offer, including all collectables, secrets, as well as some unique challenges for bosses that make you think a little, without being overly difficult. You will definitely want to consult a guide for at least the Encyclopedia achievement to make sure you don't miss anything. Additionally, consider taking a peek at the comments for the all badges achievement, as there is the potential to screw yourself and miss it and have to start all over.
I was very pleased to have mastered in a single run. The thing with mastering a game like this is that personally I don't think I'll ever play it again, which is bittersweet to think about. But I've had my fun. Perhaps its finally time to take on TTYD.
All in all this was a fantastic set and it was great to play one of my childhood favourites!
P.S. - A subset of some sort would be really cool, any ideas?
