Doesn't quite capture all that same lightning in a bottle magic as the original, but still, by 1993 they damn well knew how to milk every ounce of graphical power out of the NES and using the original engine this is still a very playable platformer.

This is a good game. Not as good as the 1st. They do have unique things in this game that I like. Such as when you beat a level you get to upgrade your life meter, 1 up, or a continue along with 2 other things. You can choose from easy to hard. fun game.

the sequel is good but not as memorable. the backtracking required is not fun and mostly tedious

Almost as good. A WOO ooo.
