A low-key classic. Turns out the one-screen platformer was the perfect fit for the Game Boy, and the concept is sort of audacious when you think about it: A decade after the original became one of the biggest arcade hits of all-time, Nintendo created this remake that starts with the same 4 levels that everyone knows but then just keeps going... and going... all the way to level 99.

Worth emulating, or tracking down the 3DS reprint at a junk shop.
