One of the best NES games, a really tightly, expertly designed platformer that expects a lot of the player, but with a short runtime, a super detailed and secret filled campaign, simple but smooth movement with a surprisingly deep momentum & star mechanic, genuinely ground-breaking and limit-pushing visuals and effects for the NES, and one of the best soundtracks on NES, Gimmick is a masterpiece by NES standards.

Some of its secret items require some absolutely fucking batshit insane jumps though, like holy shit lmao
