Without a doubt this is one of the greatest games of all time, and one of the greatest snes games PERIOD! The hype is much deserved and this game is addicting and fun. It was one of the first video games to take on a non-linear style and use heavy exploration to gain powerups. The result is a game which will be both tedious and amazingly fun! I cannot recommend this game highly enough to you fellow review reader! The bosses are amazing and the graphics are superior! it SHOWS JUST HOW GOURGEOUS 16-bit can be! The replay value is amazing, and you will always have the joy of beating it faster the more you play it. This game made the speed run what it is today! BUY IT NOW! 10/10
