Just finished it. It's a bit short, but it's a good game while it lasts, I recommend it specially since it's the original devs who are actually publishing it, this time.


I must say the SNES emulation used here is finally true fullscreen (for the first time, possibly?), unlike previous recent releases like the Super Mario World update (which still cuts the bottom of the screen). It's using the composite interlace mode by default just like the SMW update, and it can't be changed either. Anyway, the framerate is very smooth and never lags, looking just like the real (50Hz) thing (except perhaps for the small blurriness the interlace makes).
The only technical flaw I've noticed would be the starting "fade-in circle" looking pixellated on its right side, but I'd need some confirmation of this not happening on real hadware. Does anybody still have the real cartridge to check it out?

By the way, they also updated the title screen and ending a little (for copyrights and stuff), which is a nice touch.
