Listening to kids crying isn't fun.

I thought I'd played this when it came out but after playing through a few levels last night I realised I hadn't. And that means I had no nostalgia urging me to play anymore of it. I dunno, it's fine maybe?

Dr Mario didn't give this game the vaccine

Now imagine that at a video shop that rented games allowed you to tell them a 4 digit code to allow you to rent games if you didn't have your membership card on you. Now imagine, hypothetically that I knew someone else's 4 digit code.
Now imagine that I got my pal's little brother to go to this shop and rent Mario kart 64 and an N64 controller using this code. That'd be a naughty way of getting a new game and pad for a fiver wouldn't it?

Incase the feds are reading this review, this is deffo not what happened...

Shitnob 3 had some funky graphics.
These later day mega drive games look way nicer than I remember them doing.
Lets itself down with some horrendous platforming sections towards the end.

Nope. Too difficult to be any fun to anyone. Shove it.

The fake mode 7 effects really made my brain spin

More backtracking than a metroidvania up in this bitch

2014

Not as bad as the title suggests. Great little platformer from hell. Soundtrack is a belter too

33 years. It's taken me 33 years to play all the way through this!
Dunno what it is but I've always bounced off it after about the 2nd world but I stuck with it this time all the way to the end like a big boy.
Does Mario feel weird to control in this compared to the other games ?- heavy maybe but probably fitting seeing as he's a chunky boy in this.

The diagonal pinstripe background on some of the levels was especially pleasing to the eyes and I hope to see it again when I next play through this in 2054.....
