Gimmick! must be one of the most advanced games on the NES library. Even if it's brutally hard, to a point where you'll definitely need to run through the game a few times if you want to get that True Ending, I find it to be challenging and fair once you get the hang of its mechanics.

Using the star as a proyectile and platform at the same time has a learning curve, but the skill expression of each player is very noticeable once you understand how it works. Also, there are secrets hidden everywhere.

With great visuals, and an absolutely incredible OST, I find it to be quite underrated. Definitely worth a shot.
