Played a bit of this version at the arcade and I have to say, it’s filled with a lot of asshole design. Enemy placements meant to fuck speedrun strats, random invisible blocks you would expect to find in shitty mcshitface’s first Mario Maker level, and a sucky ass control setup guaranteed to give you carpal tunnel syndrome — also tall height unfriendly. With that said, I was able to get the 1up trick working and was able to finish the game after that. It’s an interesting take on the original game, and I’m glad all the bullshit they put in it wasn’t carried over to future games.
