One of the most colourful games I've played in along time, and hearing bonkers renditions of tracks such as Ride of the Valkyries and London Bridge is Falling Down alongside some remixes from Konami's other games is just a delight. The selectable characters are varied to, you're not just restricted to Vic Viper and Lord British here. Twinbee, Goemon and Kid Dracula are included amongst 11 pairs, each of which have their own weapon selections that adds a nice bit of replay value. Only negative is the lack of co-op in the SNES port. 4/5
