its just an even worse version of the msx version. this is like portception. also mario is really thicc for some reason? i guess that's why he climbs so slowly on the ladders...

Ocean's second attempt at the Nintendo classic after 1983's Kong, and this time they've got the official license. It really shows how far they'd come, for while the gameplay is just about the same as it was three years prior, now the whole thing has a polish that elevates it to a far more professional tier.

Unfortunately I think it's a trifle too slow now thanks to all the extra garnish, and worse, the jumping is broken. Where before you could clear the barrels with ease, now Jumpman can't get the height needed and making it over them is strictly luck based rather than skill. A real hairy shame.
