This one is probably the best platformer on the system, next to Mega Man and the Sonics. This is THE game to play in the series if you have a Game Gear, hands down. Land of Illusion is almost unplayable in parts on the GG screen and Castle is even worse in SMS mode. This one packs a LOT for an old 8-bit handheld game, and it is the only one in the series made exclusively to work well on the GG screen. I think people forget what the times were like, what portable games offered back then, and what we played them for. I noticed a lot of reviews here are pretty hard on the ol GG. My one big gripe would be the game is too short. Some of the puzzles are awesome, like the color lights in the crystal palace type stage. Pete is an annoying last boss but that's just how last bosses are in a lot of games. The platforming is very decent overall and I don't think the programming is bad. It's actually one of my favorite GG games and the *really* polished graphics along with some nice tunes (though not the best in the series) make for a really enjoyable game. Cool review but I also feel differently about this one.
