Two years after copping it, I am finally past stupid Tree Boss, and the tall ninja boss after. Once again the game is fun and I am excited to be playing it. Switching weapons, who knew? Well clearly Vudu did so shouts out to him for the advice. I am at the board where you can jump and stick to the ceiling, I keep mis timing my jumps and ending up on the bamboo, but I am having a ball.

There must be something wrong with me, because I really do like this game. The difficulty and level/enemy designs are all over the place, but when they work, they work really well. The "crushing box" boss is awesome, and the kite dudes are great too. Again I will make the comparison to Treasure -- every level feels different, and every boss feels different. This game would have blown my mind in 1990, but I am still having a lot of fun with it in 2009.

The box boss was pretty dang cool, took me about six or seven tries but in the end the box got wrapped or some other such pun. Ooooh, how bout, that box got recycled!

I beat both the kite boss and the box boss on the first try.  I didn't really get to see them very much because they died almost instantly.  You're ridiculously over-powered when you have two clones and upgraded bombs.

Where as when I finally took the box to the curb (see what I did there) I was a lone ninja, though I still used bombs.

You know you have problems with a game's boss designs when you hear the term "the box boss was pretty dang cool".

Mega Man 2 sucks because of the bubble boss.  Just sayin'.
