Pretty much a perfect game, I’m extremely surprised this even runs on the NES. And not only that, like, this game is kinda gorgeous, and full of very charming sprite work. The type of thing people can come back to every once in a while and not only for nostalgia reasons, it is also cool to play this, and there is an amazing variety of abilities that constantly changes the way you play. The controls aren’t perfect but damn it they are not that far either.

People seem to love this music and I frankly didn’t see why. But the biggest negative is by far the final boss. You know the drill; much harder that the rest of the game and invincible for large periods. I would fight to death to whomever came up with this. Seriously.
