Better than I had thought. The music is great and the game has some challenge. There is only one continue so the game has higher tension although since it is short it remains relatively easy overall. The hit detection on koopas can go die it is so fucking horrible sometimes. Its so interesting to look back on this game and see nintendo experimenting with the mario franchise, this is apparent throughout the game with easter island heads as enemies, underwater and flying levels where you shoot bullets, the variety of bosses and one of the enemies in the game just being a human. Overall a short fun game with a lot of jank.
