Imagine after surviving the underwater spike room and the hundred other death traps, you and your weird jump physics and Luigi-like controls now have to do the whole game over because you lost best of 3 Rock Paper Scissors and what do you mean there's a secret Continue cheat if you have money) no one told me that. Oh, and if you got past that and slipped up on the final puzzle? Nah you're dead and if you're out of lives do it all again etc etc. One touch death and no continues system (shown in the game anyways you need a guide to know there's a dev method) just makes it needlessly unfair.

I like when it does goofy stuff like the vehicles, and Rock Paper Scissors was funny the first time but it feels like the game is just really into you starting over, especially in the first level and second to last level (the castle). I think this focus on rock paper scissors shenanigans and dying in one hit is part of why he never took off despite the better graphics and level variety than Mario, it was just too brutal.
