The ten next levels were not quite as hard, but still challenging. As all other difficulties had 16 levels I guessed this one would have 32. But after 32 comes 33…
But level 32 was a bit of a gift at 44 seconds.

Level 22 on insane difficulty was… brutal. Absolute luck based if you make it through the first ten moves or so. A bit annoying!

Insane difficulty is really hard. Level 13 consists only of metal blocks and required lots of luck. After level 16 I was hoping that I would be done. But no, level 17 is still there! My guess is that this difficulty has 32 levels…?

I managed to beat all levels from normal to super hard in the „round clear“ mode of Kirby Star Stacker. The last level was pretty hard indeed! But as a bonus I can now play on „Insane“ difficulty. Yay… I guess…?
I have to admit this game has me hooked.

And after 12 tries I managed it in easy mode. I would guess it would take me at least 30 tries on normal mode. But I think this is not worth my time. :)
This was all played on the refurbished red play it loud DMG. So real hardware, but modern screen, as the old display board was corroded away by battery leakage.

My best run so far was 5 hits to Wario. So roughly half of what I need. If only there were a checkpoint right before Wario! It is soooo tedious to do the previous run. I shouldn’t have cheaped out on the Everdrive. I have the X5 and the X7 has savestates… we also have the original game, but that doesn’t have savestates either. :)

So… easy mode it is. I do get to Wario, but haven’t beaten him yet. The lack of a checkpoint is a bit tedious, but now this all seems doable for me.

I tried the Wario Castle a few times, but failed. I am not in the mood to practice it more. So I am now looking at some of the secret levels.
The Space Zone secret level is relatively easy to reach. But as usual you have to go through this every time you want to play it.

Finally made it. All six golden coins are mine. And: I have a deja vu of the final level. Good grief this is terrible!

Star Zone boss is my personal nemesis. I just can’t seem to beat him. I will have to farm some lives soon…
#retrogaming #nintendo #gameboy #supermario

I managed to get to the secret level in Turtle Zone. I must admit it doesn’t seem that worthwhile…
#retrogaming #nintendo #gameboy #supermario

Now at the boss level in the Turtle Zone. So far the game got easier. I think it means I am getting the hang of it. Also, now I have 999 coins and can try to get the BIG prize.
#retrogaming #nintendo #gameboy #supermario

Fourth coin is go! Managed to beat the rat boss in Macro Zone. Easiest stage so far.
#retrogaming #nintendo #gameboy #supermario

Halloween is coming soon, so I managed to beat the pumpkin zone for the third coin. The witch was a rather easy boss.
#retrogaming #nintendo #gameboy #supermario

After 15 or so lives I managed to beat the Mario Zone. Got a bit unlucky at the lottery. Drew witches…

And I also managed to get to the Space Zone already.

I managed to beat the tree zone and get the first coin. Cost me way too many lives but managed to win 20 lives in the fruit machine.

@[email protected] no, it is very different compared to the MD version. I guess this version and the MasterSystem version might be the same.

These first two levels are impressive and have lots of parallax scrolling, nice colors and even some subtle perspective 3D effects. This is definitely peak GameGear and in my opinion beats the GameBoy version. Disney games on SEGA consoles are mostly VERY good titles.

There are two versions: A Japanese one and a World version. The Japanese version seems slightly different apart from the language. The first two levels are action scenes where Aladdin is running through Agrabah and over the rooftops. Both sequences seem a bit longer in the Japanese version.
