Exactly the same game released back in the Master System with some quality improvement changes and STILL they put the "perfect jump" into the 1st castle back - and Yeah, I died there again. 10/10 childhood frustration memories

Bad enemy hit boxes when switching between old and new style, and a bad semi game breaking bug when you have infinite lives turned on. The bug will get you stuck in an infinite death loop in the desert zone if you get hit by a cactus. If you happen to have defeated a previous cactus and get killed by the next one, you will re-spawn directly on top of the previous cactus you defeated. This bug forces you to quit to the main menu which obviously means you lose your whole progress in that level. That all being said, I would still recommend the game because it is genuinely fun, a little tough and unforgiving sometimes, but nevertheless still fun. Credit where it's due though: Obviously the game is fun and always has been to me personally. The old style is exactly as I remember from back in the day and the new style has a very aesthetically pleasing spin that sticks closely to the original. The music in the new style is very well done and nicely pays homage to the original sounds.

Miracle World DX controls are absolutely awful. I would only suggest this if you wanna play the 8bit original for nostalgia as the controls for that work like it originally did.

I played this game a LOT on Sega Master System, almost 30 years back, and now, on this version You can play the new game, with graphic and audio improvements, OR, with just ONE TOUCH, go back to the original version, pure nostalgy, and all this instantly. Love both versions

Honestly, very hard recommend, but I will appreciate how the old look can be toggled on, so you can essentially play the original, which is cool. If you never played it before, probably fiddle around with the assist options so the game can be a little less frustating. The visuals and soundtrack are great, though.
