One of the best late Taito releases that isn't Little Samson or based on another IP. It's a very straightforward action platformer (even simpler than the Flintstones games) with the levels being themed around various parts of a food joint. I really like how everything is presented on a restaurant menu as you progress through these short-but-sweet platforming 'bouts.

As others have stated, the game does get it a bit obnoxious with enemy placement. However, it never really got to the point where I stopped enjoying myself (which I can't say for something like Ninja Gaiden or Castlevania III).

Also have to give bonus points for the rival chef/final boss looking a hell of a lot like a cross between Dick Dastardly and Waluigi.
