Yet another game that I would not have beaten on my own if it wasn't for save states and rewinding on the switch. Honestly a lot of these Nintendo hard games are saved by the rewind and save state feature. This game is unbelievably hard in it's platforming and enemy placement. With a lot of the game demanding you make certain jumps and avoiding enemies while having some really stiff controls. I don't think this game is particularly good as it was back then simply because of how harsh it punishes you, and with a game over system a lot of the time you'd likely reach stage 3 and die before seeing the rest of the game. It's not even Ninja Gaiden type of hard where the game actively teaches you to jump and kill enemies properly. No, it just demands your full attention to performing these miracle moves every minute. Overall, I liked the enemy design of this game and the possibility of future installments having interesting weapon mechanics, but it's probably better dead.
