This remake addresses the damage issues from the original and balances it all out, resulting in a much more enjoyable experience. There's also a plethora of extra characters to play as including the bosses who take extra damage when fighting the robot master who they're weak against. Fire Man can kill Oil Man in three hits and it actually makes sense. On top of that, there's a stage creator I got more mileage out of than the core game itself.

The chibi artstyle may turn some off but this is an absolutely exquisite remake. Now I sit and hope for a console port...
