It's a solid platformer with tight controls. Before each level you get to choose a character that which accompanies Buster into the next level, each one of them has a special ability, Dizzy can destroy some blocks and enemies, Furball can climb walls, Plucky can float. Also you collect carrots to gain lives, but you have find Hampton before can collect the lives. It's got Elmyra as a funny mid boss, where you just have to escape her hugs. The character animations in general are nicely done.
Disliked:
The character switching mechanic is a nice idea, but you can only switch by collecting a star powerup, and that happens usually only once or twice per world. so once you switch you usually stay like that until the boss. The levels are for the most part relatively bland, not really bad, but given that the same company made Castlevania years earlier which is filled with scenery, this could have looked nicer. Also the enemy behaviours are for the most part forgettable, either just standing around, occasionally jumping or walking from left to right.
Summary:
It's a solid game, but nothing that stands out too much. There are no serious flaws in the gameplay and the level layouts, but for some reason it fells a bit lifeless at times. It's good for a playthrough, but I wouldn't follow the opinion I found online several times that this is supposedly the next best thing to Super Mario Bros. 3 on the NES.
