The second best thing to come out of Lost World behind its soundtrack.

This feels like something Nintendo made out of desperation to sell amiibo, but they were already selling like hotcakes around this time, so who knows what their thought process was. My guess is that somebody thought it'd be cool if amiibo unlocked Virtual Console games but Nintendo was too stingy to let it happen. Instead we got this weird compromise that nobody asked for. It gets a star for being a novelty from an era of Nintendo that I'm pretty fond of despite its problems.

Elf Elf Baby

Much better with the mOTHER+99 romhack. Smooths over the samey looking areas with the map and the health grind by spawning you with full health. Otherwise it's more of a 5 or 6/10. Either way the game will start out a bit frustrating, but it really gets better once you get your hands on the better powerups.

Ultra Heaven Stage 5 is an abomination of game design.

The robots really are revolting. At some points it comes together but it's bogged down by iffy controls, levels that all feel pretty same-y and sometimes annoying to find your way around, and cheap hazard/enemy placements.
