Yeah!! It's so pretty and good and fun! It handles nicely, and looks great, and really pushes the SNES hardware! Absolutely perfect! *Quickly shushes the game as it attempts to prove this false with the screaming baby noise when you get hurt* not a single bad point at all :D

@Nine it more than pushes the SNES hardware, it actually has a graphics coprocessor on the cartridge. The SuperFX 2; you might be familiar with the SuperFX 1 which was what made Star Fox possible

@Nine (sprite scaling and rotation were not things the SNES could do. So instead, the superFX chip did it for it)

Oh dang that's amazing! I thought it could do some scaling and rotation though, what with super Mario world?? Or did that use the superfx as well?? I should look that up...

Crap! Pilot wings!! I keep forgetting to try that out too!

@Nine It can scale and rotate a single background layer in background mode 7, this is how final fantasy iii/vi did its map and how mario kart did its tracks for instance

it's also how mario world did the final boss battle, which is pretty neat and nonstandard

@Nine but importantly, it can scale and rotate _only_ a background layer, and only one of them, and not any sprites
