Fun game with good music. I 1CC'd it but didn't do the Extra stages
2016
Played it with a friend, its fun but repetitive towards the end
The prevasion system is dumb but I like the cheesy anime charm the game has. I really liked the final boss (without prevasion) and the true ending though. The vocal songs were pretty good too
This is the best game I played as a kid, collecting the different characters was fun and the final boss was kind of epic

The levels in this game follow the design philosophy of the main game's 1st half, so they are pretty decent. The totem boss was better designed than most bosses in the main game, but the race with the shadow Messenger was annoying and the Punch Out reference instead of a rematch was disappointing

The mechanics are good and the bosses are well designed, but losing hundreds of times to Loony Tunes villains kind of broke me. I finished the game, but I don't have many fun memories of it
Played it as a kid, it seemed like an okay smash clone to me
2011
Building things is fun, searching for fortresses in the Nether isn't
Has none of the charm of the first game and the bosses feel way more unfair (similar to the transition from Mega Man Zero 2 to Mega Man Zero 3). Got bored during Gunvolt's final boss and dropped it
