I played this for Retro Achievements Challenge. What a fun little 2d platformer with charm! The music is jazzy/big band and its fantastic! The game isn't that hard but it ramps up in the final two stages. Eight total stages with five boss fights. And one boss fight, you need to know how to pick up items to throw or you aren't finishing the boss. And with 6 buttons, the manual tells you that X,Y, and Z aren't needed. So they thought that holding down the attack button was the best bet for this action. Other then that, still a fun playthrough.
