It’ll make you cry from the pain and you’ll keep coming back for more. It lacks the collectathon elements from their later games and focuses on action. I think it’s the first, or at least one of the first, attempts at a Nintendo property that Rare made. I do recommend this game to platforming fans.

I can’t say they’re unresponsive, and yet there’s something about them that feels wrong to me. The music is good, though, and you’ll probably be humming right along to some of the soundtrack.Ĭontrols are a bit strange. In the ghost of the technology, all you’ll see is a bunch of stiff sprite-work.

So, you got this crocodile guy who decides that it’s a good idea to steal a gorilla’s stock of bananas. …Which it still doesn’t, but it makes more sense than Super Mario Bros. would be if the character was Donkey Kong instead of Mario, and if the story actually made sense.
