I really wanted to like this, heard lot of good reviews about it and then a close friend even told me how they really liked it as a kid too plus it being short, so I decided to finally play it.

It started out fine first, but as you go on the constant having to run to one end of the map to the other then back to where you came from for new abilities that really were just there to unlock the other new abilities was annoying, Chomp felt underutilized, grinding for money takes an awful long time, and the constant padding made me end up dropping this by the 5th area cause I was just not having fun at all.

I see the potential this game has though, I hope it gets remade one day, I heard there was a 3DS ver in the making but :/
