Adore the unique battle system, episodic shonen story, awesome redesigns of classic characters, nice sprite work, & catchy soundtrack. All consistent highlights of this subseries. However, it is still a rough start. Dungeons are full of time wasting activities masquerading as puzzles. Healing after every battle sucks as much challenge out of the game as save scumming for Hero Sword chips does. And post-game won't let you access the super boss until you painfully hunt down every single chip drop.
