Cool top-down adventure segment in Stage 2 really feels like it was already conscious of [later] action-adventures that looked like that, some really good jingles, and all around solid game. I think this could be really fun to speedrun if I had the time to learn its quirks and didn't have a 5000 game backlog to get through lol. As it is though, the lack of diagonal movement during the top-down part and general "minigame" vibe it had led me to drop it before finishing Stage 2 (though I did 2 of the "Stage 3" caves, which by the way the Jump mechanic isn't the best and pro-tip, you can't jump to the geyser platforms when they're too far below you even if you would have landed on them you do the fall death animation... we all know how much I love too-far-of-a-cleared-jump mechanics in platformers.....)
