For years ive heard people call this a hidden gem and secretly the best platformer on the NES, when in reality it actually kinda blows! More technically impressive than good: I'm sure a lot of time and effort was spent on making this game control how it does but the end result's a game feel similar to how the slippery ass crouch in og SMB feels (thank you to Backloggd user "Chandler" for this observation, nail on the head there). Found the star attack incredibly annoying and cumbersome to use, especially with how bizarrely aggressive the enemies are. Levels all are nondescript and uninteresting, not particularly geared to the feel of your character. As the title suggest, feels all like one big gimmick!

Music's ok
