One of my childhood favorites. I never owned it, but I borrowed it from my friend pretty often. Thankfully for it's short length, abundance of lives, and general easiness I was able to beat it no problem during the brief windows I could play it. I think this is one of the first games I ever beat; the idea that there was an endpoint to games was totally alien to me before SML2.

Replaying it on the NSO was a treat, especially now that Nintendo finally acknowledged that the GBC color pallets are a thing, so I could play it how I remembered it as a kid. I recommend anyone with NSO gives the game a try, wonderful little game.

Also the Star Maze music is so good I can't believe it's only been used in this game and Paper Mario Sticker Star, it needs to be used more.
