Marvel Land

The Wonderful 001


Genre: action - platform

Publisher: Namco

Year: 1991

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

Mario clone. Gimmick is an attack where you swing a set of shadow clones which trail behind you. Think Ninja Gaiden 2 or The Wonderful 101. You can also bop enemies. Movement is annoyingly slow which makes platforming more difficult than it ought to be. Oh and boss battles are rock, paper, scissor matches. Why did this show up in multiple platformers? So weird.


Level Design Score: 4

Level Design Notes:

Lots of variety. This is easily the best part of the game. It's a shame the gameplay isn't better.

Theme Notes:

Typical Japanese mascot platformer


Art Style Score: 2

8 bit

Fun songs
