Incredibly paced action title. One of the finest games from one of the most historically important arcade companies in history.

Genre-shift into a Westone style action game... Without the brisk pacing and satisfying combat. Game is way too verbose for its own good.

The run 'n gun style stages feel half-baked in comparison to the boss fights. The structure of the game would work better if it was akin to Treasure's Alien Soldier rather than haphazardly broken up into disjointed segments through the world map.

Often overlooked run 'n gun game based off of the popular license. Difficulty is crazy high, not for the feint of heart despite aesthetics.

A what if scenario wherein Westone develops a Monster World sequel on the Sega Saturn. One of the retro-throwback games that truly "gets it". All-time favorite "Metroidvania".

The Disney-licensed game I still find myself coming back to the most.

Perpetually slept-on Metroidvania style game, way better than Konami's early stabs at the genre-- play this side-by-side with Castlevania II and see which one you enjoy more...

Hands-down the best Donkey Kong game of 1994.

I'm tempted to give it a 5 for the OST alone.

One of the earliest "Metroidvania" style titles and it outclassed its contemporaries and successors. Some of the dungeon design can feel a tad cut-and-paste but the mechanics are a blast and the music is chock-full of classics.

A Konami classic that falls short where the rest of this franchise does: unforgiving and crippling loss of power-ups upon death. Depending on where you die, certain checkpoints make the game near-impossible to progress from. Brutal.

Pretty compelling giant-robot action sections sandwiched between some of the most rote platforming of a console generation overcrowded with rote platformers. Half is a serviceable action game with good music however.

All killer no filler. Perfectly paced action game, incredible soundtrack-- best in series.

The best belt scroll since Capcom's Battle Circuit. Worth the wait.

Will I ever finish? Why do I keep doing this? Does the sun still shine on the place we call Earth? I don't know, but everyone I know is still on here. In this place.
