Mastered! First! This set put some extra difficulty on such an underrated game - which is good! It took me so much time to master it judging by score allocation in some achievements. Some of them seems "easy" by giving low points but they aren't.

However, level select absence made things worse. Maybe this is not exclusive of SNES version, but I couldn't find anywhere how to select stages one by one instead of restarting entire gameplay everytime.

Damageless stages and speedrun subsets were a pain here. If you don't know very well every stage and watch your step carefully, then, you will have some trouble xD Deathless run on Hard added the final spice on the set!

Like other mega drive games, this version I feel is much harder than the SNES one, even if the white score doesn't reflect that and the real points are less than in the other one. That's probably because a lot more people played the other one compared to this one. Same achievement set but once again the controls are not as responsive as in the SNES, specially jumping. This makes the last level much harder than in the SNES version, the chosen palette color in that level here doesn't help either. It's an easy game but not an easy set. You have a huge life bar because everything that touches you does damage. So the no hit levels were specially hard. And deathless runs are always hard as well. I'm very proud of mastering it!

I didn't actually test this (wasn't good enough to pull it off even though I tried every time I should really say) but when I played this game as a kid. The level where you are being chased by the sperm whale actually ends. You get to a part where all fishes seem to start moving vertically and you can't really grab any and the sperm whale eat you vertically like in the movie instead of horizontally like in the game. I guess doing that was extremely hard and the devs decided that "surviving after a certain point" was good enough (when the fishes start moving faster). While mastering this, I got to a point where I started to see hats and books everywhere but I didn't reach that vertical part. Maybe it doesn't exist. Maybe I dreamt about it as a kid lol. Let me know if any of you are skilled enough to be able to reach the end of that level.

I did reach this part of the fish level once, it had a lot of hats and books, but everything stayed horizontal,.. if there is more later, only a superhuman player would discover it..
