No racing? No matter. This game deserves its reputation, it is a good platformer for the old Nes, and even the tunes are good!
The bosses are mostly pattern-based which will take trial and error, but nothing too intolerable if mastery is what you want
Great set.

The music is great especially
good series and good game I had a good time with him
>look inside
>it’s a platformer
The last of the Christmas event.
It's a decent platformer. Controls great, the power-up system is nicely done in terms of how much you need to put in to get the better stuff. The game could do with being harder so you'd actually lose this stuff on any regularity though.
Actual level design is kind of mid, and while the bosses are unique, they're very pattern-based.
Except that their big ball shots have RNG on their speed, which was quite annoying.
Set is fine, though asking for full health rather than no-hit is an interesting ask, as this means you can just fully heal before the fight ends if you have it available to you. (I only did this maybe twice successfully, so my initial run was teetering on the brink getting through as I had to redo the bosses to learn patterns)
Hot tip: All bosses take 8 hits for both phases, for a total of 16, so you can just count to 8 on the second phase for the heal.
Beat it for the event, but I'll definitely come back someday for the mastery. Probably one of the few 2D platformers that I've actually enjoyed -- likely due to the fact that this is Atlus we're talking about, which is still wild to know that they partnered up with Hanna-Barbera. Plus, the way they divided the three parts of the game and structured the continue system was extremely smart for its time. This made it more palatable for the event than the other 2D platformers by a long shot.
The power-up system is confusing and weird at first, but over time, it becomes kinda cool and gives the game some uniqueness and sense of strategy. The bosses are the only hard part, but they have fixed
patterns at least. So figuring out these patterns is extremely rewarding and the key to mastery.
