This is without a doubt the best game to have been released during the initial lifespan of the Famicom. The music is outstanding that sadly didn't hit as hard when it released in Scandinavia as Mr. Gimmick on the NES due to hardware differences. While it is challenging its never unforgiving as with enough practice you can easily beat this in less than an hour. Unfortunately getting ahold of an original cartridge will set you back tens of thousands of yen or a few hundred dollars but thankfully with the release of Special Edition the game can now be played on modern platforms so I'd recommend picking that release up if you want to experience this masterpiece.
replayability is insane, you can finish the bad ending without really using the gimmick of the star but once you start mastering it the whole game become a puzzle game where you try to figure out what are the most optimized star ride on each room, and that the whole level design was made around it.
The physics of this game are probably the best of any nes platform game, just play it this is a technical wonder
