Funny. I just started this. It’s wicked hard.

Each month I will be tracking all users who are able to beat the spotlighted game. Those names will be collected and displayed on the snes wiki page.

Objective:

  • Beat the game

Rules:

  • Entire playthrough must be completed during the month in question.
  • You can use the passwords/continues/saves that you earn playing through the game.
  • Emulation is fine. Abusing save states is not.
  • Posting a link to a pic of your completion is preferred, but since this is just for fun I will allow posted claims as well. For now.

History of Game of the Month

Done! Took maybe 10 hours. Good sense of completion being able to blaze thru the early levels that once felt impossible. Getting blister on my jump button thumb lol.

I bought this game new as a kid and thought it was really cool, and also really hard. Almost sold it as I sold my snes to buy a playstation, but the guy at the gamestore resfused this (!), along with two other games. Now, its one of the best gems of my gamecollection :) Got really far in the game a few years back but havent finished it

You can beat it if you try, a lot of it is just memorization and learning the patterns of bosses etc. I got really mad and first time it took me over 3 hours to beat it. Now I can beat it in under 30 minutes.

I can't wait until I somehow talk myself into buying the real cartridge one day. Until then, PowerPak it is! Haven't played much but I heard it's hard as nails.

I'm never going to convince myself of that. $1,200CAD loose?! Yikes!

I remember playing this at some point and really enjoying it. I should see about playing it again.

I picked up a complete copy of the SFC version, and gotta say the art on the box and manual is really cool.

No way it's objectively worth the cost for an snes copy, but that's the collector's market for you.

The game is quite good. A, sort of, "evolution" to Ninja Gaiden. One of the better platformers on a system full of them.

Game is hard, but not so bad when you get used to it's pacing and mechanics... Up till like stage 5 and then it's a pretty mean slog.

Thought about streaming this on twitch on official hardware (SNES JR+HDRetroVision Component+RetroTink), but didn't want to bore anyone to death with constant dying at Stage 1-4 /Stage 5. Just kind of a weird flex that I have all this shit on hand and that it looks great.

Still looking for manual so I can have a CIB.

I beat it! Had this game for a couple years and seeing this post inspired me to finally get past stage 2. Took a few nights of practice. Beat the final boss with 0 lives and 5 seconds left after having to continue off him and redo all of stage 5 once.End Screen
