I suggest adding 🍑 to Snake's

You guys better throw a fucking parade for me if it really happens around this time.

It's true, we usually have to bind it in console ourselves.

And as always, it's kind of the deal with these old arcade-y games. Keep at it and you will master it eventually, and those levels that gave you trouble will become second nature. Best of luck!

I went to check and dang, it took me 5 hours and a half almost to get the cherry (but I got it at the same time I beat it for the first time, sooo).

It helps to mentally map the best routes for each level, and also were the secret point items are so you can stack up on extra lives for later worlds.

That's a very pretty translation from the OVAs ending to 16bit sprites, dang.

If that's something that interests you, by all menas, give it a shot. I think you will find a lot of enjoyment in it as it is, even if I did not find it very fun.

I think it's pretty cool they sat down with these bare minimum mechanics and designed all the levels with escalating difficulty, and demands of mastery of it.

That said, I would describe the gameplay to other people in the known as "Kaizo Crash Bandicoot 1". Which is not something I enjoyed vm.
