Pit's second attempt at being relevant failed miserably again.

This is a sequel to the NES game and it's pretty much the same thing as before... except (inhale), a terrible field of view due to the Gameboy screen forcing us most of the time to do blind jumps and hiding even more enemies than the NES version. Gosh, Nintendo! You can't expect to put an NES game on Gameboy and expect it to work well!
It's not a straight-up copy of the NES game though, it has multiple differences but I'm not crazy enough to list them all as I do not like this game and I don't think anyone cares because nobody likes this game either!

But the idea is still the same, play the underground stages with this stupid doodle jump layout, do the awful castle stages, go to the overworld and play this terrible Super Mario Bros 1 layout stage, castle again, the overworld or however, they call it and blam it's over though it's easier said than done because if you have the patience to go through that without saves states you have my congratulations.

Unlike the NES version, it has no 3D classic remaster which is normal since they only did a few NES games and I don't think it's possible to make a 3D Gameboy game, thinking about it gives me the creeps.

Should you play it? No! But it's still a bit better than the NES version so if you had to pick one this one would do the trick. Or just play the 3D classic version, or just play Kid Icarus Uprising.
