Also one of my bigger gripes is that many moons are inaccessible your first time in an area for no reason. There are some moons where this makes sense, you look at the area and see that its changed as a result of your actions, so you want to go explore. There are some where nothing has changed but now there is suddenly a moon there because reasons. Many of the timer challenges are especially guilty of this.

You are basically being punished for exploring your first time in an area, because you are just going to be made to do double work.

Yes this same feeling happens AGAIN after you beat the game. So there's really no point in exploring until you've completely finished the game and you're revisiting levels which doesn't seem like great design in a game sold on exploration.

Actually the moons that are unlocked after you've finished the game, get shown on the map. So when those are added, you shouldn't feel like you have to re-explore previously explored areas.

(But besides those moons, I agree that one of the main flaws in the game is trying to explore and some stuff is unavailable for no reason (like many hat doors for example).)
