This game is super fun, movement is fantastic even just from the beginning (though being able to double-jump is also great later on).

I played on hard mode and while most people wouldn't like it, I didn't mind it at all since it helped me memorize the bosses better (Until realizing how BUSTED the burst moves are, which I didn't use until replaying the game on new game+ and circuit mode).

Overall, game is super fun although I didn't pay too much attention to the story. Not that it's bad! But it's alright.
