Beat with significant difficulty and save state scumming. I did not figure out the jumping until near the final boss (what I have to press down first to high jump?).

It is a half decent game that borders on mediocre.

Completed on emulator in about 3 hours.

Fun game. Jumping is a bit awkward but you get used to it.

It's not an easy game, but nowhere near as difficult as Adv. Island 1

I'm pretty sure that I'm the only one on the internet who knows where all the bonus stages are in this. No Let's Play or FAQ I've seen has ever listed all of them.
