i've been interested in this since i saw it was pure 1100% positive reviews and i gotta say? it really, really holds up. the comedy is funny, the gameplay is great, it has a wide range of difficulty where most levels are pretty simply beating but perfecting it can be hard as hell, absolutely a gem you should check out

A game that harkens to Super Mario World artistically but is very much its own mechanically. Incredibly genuine and clearly communicated from the devs mind, what little writing the game has is charming and the character designs fit perfectly.

Difficult if you want it to be, this game's difficulty also calls back to Super Mario World, which some may not remember gets quite difficult near the end.

If you boot it up and feel underwhelmed, the badges you get to improve his base moveset fill out the game perfectly and really allow you to push yourself to perform or find a way to take it a little easier without feeling like any of them trivialize the game. You won't find yourself missing a run or spin jump button after you see some of the things Garbanzo can do.

Really deeply fantastic and I truly believe especially with how pure it is that it can stand next to other retro greats, even the originals and be standing tall
