Current opinion of this game
Classic platform action at its almost best. Very annoying at times.

Bleagh. I'm not playing this anymore since I'm just not having any fun. It's a shame really since I made it to the boss on level 4. Bye bye Mario!

I did it! Phew...finally I was able to finish the thorn-in-my-side level. Unfortunately, it has been replaced with the next level after that!

It seems that I'm at a point in this game where you have to die A LOT in order to see the patterns of all the enemies in the level. After that you can actually start to make some progress. Depending on your skills you might then be succesful though you will probably lose some lives along the way. Not fun. Really.

I'm feeling kind of guilty about dropping this game for something else. I mean, it is a Mario game! A masterpiece according to everyone! What is wrong with me?

I still haven't been able to clear this DREADFUL level. It really is a shame, though I have made a tiny bit of progress. I can usually make my way to at least the next screen. Like that does any good.

Actually, today I was able to finally reach the boss (Lemmy). I died in 1 second and had to restart everything. That's right. All the way back to the beginning! Am I some kind of gaming masochist here?

It is all coming back to me. Slowly, and painfully.

Now I remember WHY I stopped playing this game. I'm stuck on a REALLY hard part. I spent about an hour trying to clear it yesterday and made very little progress. The worst part is that most of the time I end up losing a life due to no fault of my own. For example, I'll die when something materializes out of thin air in the place I will land (with no chance of avoiding it)...

Sigh. I hope I can get past this part soon. Otherwise I'll be closing this log up too....grrrr

I started to play this waaaay back in time. (this is one of the first games I bought for my GBA). I stopped at the castle level on world 3 because I couldn't clear it. But now... I'm the awesome platformer king! Will I be able to clear the level and continue to play the game? I hope so....but we'll see.
