It turns out when you finish it it starts all over again and your score carries over.

Add it to your list - seriously....it's what swung me to the SNES when I had the 16bit decision to make. It is Nintendo at their best and even the aging graphics (which still look nice when you are at a certain height before pixel-itis kicks in) don't take the shine off the charm or the gameplay. Actually it would be really interesting to hear an opinion from someone with zero nostalgia.

If it helps there's not far to go.Moot_Geeza wrote:I've had to stop for the evening, as I'm getting repeatedly destroyed by the bosses on stage B. The chicken carcas looking boss took a while to work out, and the flying Death one is killing me atm. I'm really struggling with it as diagonal whipping only works around one in five times with my GP2X dpad. If - and it's a big if - I'd got here as a kid I doubt I would have progressed, great joypad or not. I thought the difficulty was quite manageable (with plenty of practice), up until the difficulty spike at stage A, but this has got rather tricky all of a sudden.
