Nothing much too say after replaying this bona fide Capcom classic, except, yeah, it's still good.
It's not a flawless game: it's a bit on the short and easy side when you know what you're doing, the last stage is disappointing, there's a couple of level design flaws (mostly related to the respawning enemies), and why the hell is the first level harder than the rest of the game (or maybe I'm the only one who can't deal with those bees)?
It's still a very good time overall.
There's also something about the kinetism of the pogo stick and the focus on exploration and secrets that makes it feel relatively modern compared to other 8-bit platformers.
