This is a somewhat janky and bare bones platformer but I can't help but love it. It just has this inexplicable charm to it like Alex Kidd, although playing it as a kid in a relatively vulnerable time in my life my also contribute to that.

One stage has these fairly decent looking statues against backdrops that could have come out of an Atari 2600 game. If you jump three times on one of the platforms in stage 3, a fish appears and you literally get shot out of its asshole as a shortcut. Of course, they couldn't depict an asshole in a Nintendo product, so they decided to make the "anus" a warp pipe from Super Mario Bros. Then there's Mad Monk, the boss of the fifth stage, who might as well be yelling "PUSSEH!" and drops literal F bombs. It's stuff like this that makes this game special even if it is, at the end of the day, a B tier platformer.
