Summary

A great platform and a fun character

The Good

This was really well thought out and did make nice improvements to this genre. Even 3D0 was stumped at how the final boss animations/scenes were coded as it did some things that they did not think the 3DO system was capable of doing. At the time the sprite animations were as good or better then anything else available. Very solid gameplay.

The Bad

On one of the final levels. You must jump at the 'perfect' moment to avoid a fireball, pit of death, over a crate etc,. . . There was a horrible lag as well at this moment. I think it to me 50 tries. The lag was the killer here. But it was passable so with immense patience you could get by. Its a minor gripe really.

The Bottom Line

Super Mario with the ability to climb walls, tail swap and make funny wise-cracks. I only played the 3D0 version so there may be differences between the systems.
