- Once again, I felt like playing an action game after a long, sprawling RPG. This is the perfect little palate cleanser
- Prior to this play through, I actually hadn’t beaten this one before. I remember long car trips with the Game Boy, getting so, SO close as a kid but never doing it. Saving isn’t supported in any way, so you have to beat it in one sitting.
- By and large, I don’t think this game is very “good” as a Mario game, but it’s not imminently hatable and it doesn’t overstay its welcome. It’s just a nice little way to kill 45 minutes.
- The change of pace when it comes to power ups, level design etc is refreshing. Kinda funny that most of that kind of thing was done because of technological limitations
