Alright, after spending probably well over an hour being stuck in 1-4 (which was 100% the fault of those damn Eggplant Wizards.  Seriously, whoever came up with that idea deserves a swift kick to the balls), I finally made it to 2-2.  You guys were right about the game getting much easier once you reach the sidescrolling sections.  I don't think I died once in 2-1, except at the very beginning just to get my password.  Unfortunately, it looks like I missed out on the second upgrade in 2-1 (I'm assuming that's what that empty room was), but I'm not too worried about it at this point.

Nice! Onward to the finish line. Watch out for the guys in 2-2 and 2-3 that steal your training room gear!!! Hint: you can buy it back from certain markets

I just made it to 3-4.  I wasn't planning on going for the good ending, but I have pretty much everything I need for it, so I might as well.  Just need to grind some hearts.

I gotta say, I really didn't like this game at all during World 1, but it gets much better during the later levels when you're much more powerful.  I bet most of the negative critics of this game quit during the first couple of levels due to the brutal difficulty.  I can't blame them, I would have quit the game also if I weren't playing it for the playthrough.

When I went to my local store today, the manager told me she bought her young son a copy for Christmas so that he could see where the SSB character was from. I told her that he wouldn't be playing it for long. Wink

damn Eggplant Wizards.
Not that you need the help, but for anyone else, once you know how to beat them it's quite simple. When you first enter the room, they will both throw eggplants at you, but they will be on different planes. Slip through this gap and start pelting the closest Wizard with arrows. This will kill one of them and make the other one a lot easier.

I ended up downloading the squeal on the GameBoy. It was free with club Nintendo points.

I beat it a few weeks ago as I finish most of the games early to record the podcast. Great game and I play on finding the GB sequel to play on my Retron5.

You guys need to be sure to listen to the podcast when it comes out in February. Duke joins the show and it is a good one.

I can say that the Game Boy sequel is a fun game, and WAY easier than the NES original.  It's no slouch, but I owned it as a kid and remember not being so super frustrated with it that I wanted to rage-quit every 10 minutes like with this one.  It also has a save feature built in, so if you're playing via the actual cart, you may find that you progress through the game a bit quicker than the original as well.  The final boss is AWESOME, and when I originally played it as a kid, was very impressed by how they pulled that off on the Game Boy.

I saw how much fun everyone was having and decided to try this one out:

[img width=700 height=525]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v136/cisco678/RF/IMG_2016_zps0ahnt6ri.jpg[/img]

I didn't get the best ending as I hit 3-1 with 999 hearts and couldn't find a shop to spend some so I could earn some more skill points. I still had fun with the game and will try the sequel.
