Goddamn, this game is amazing.
The presentation is top-notch for NES standards. As usual, Sunsoft did an amazing job with the soundtrack and the visuals kinda look like a mix between Kirby's Adventure and Super Mario Bros. 3, which I appreciate. It's probably the prettiest looking game on the NES.
I like the star as a weapon, it's a bit tricky to manage but it feels rewarding to master. Some levels have parts that you can only reach by using the star to help carrying you and it always rewards you for doing that, which is great.
What can I say? It's a charming, cute, and very well made platformer and I wish more people knew about it. I'm happy that I finally got to play Mr. Gimmick because it's now one of my favorite NES games of all time.
