Completed as of writing this review: Beginner and Advanced 100% and Expert Base stages.

The beginning of the challenging franchise. By being ported from the arcades, this game is very hard on its own. It demands a lot but rewards almost nothing. Still, this was a start and for a start, it's actually pretty good, if not a bit unfair. Offers a unique style of the genre, with a lot of colorful levels and catchy music. Mini-games are also a good time. Though I would suggest everyone to check out the 2nd game or the Deluxe edition instead because a lot of things were expanded or fixed in those games.
