Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters is the forgotten sequel of the NES Kid Icarus, and I can pretty much see why. It is a game only made in the West never seen in Japan at all, it is never acknowledged in Uprising, and it is the black sheep of the trilogy.

But what are my thoughts on the game? Well, for one of my favourite underrated series, Myths and Monsters was a decent Game Boy title. It plays exactly like the first game did, only with a bit more screen crunch from the Game Boy screen. Upgrades are back through challenges, the shops are still here, and there's a new mechanic where tapping jump in the air allows Pit to float down with his wings, which is something the first game needed. The dungeons at the end of each world return too, but the bosses are a little more difficult than before.

This game deserves a second chance, maybe on NSO but we'll see.
