Benjamin D. ★★★★★

The power-up bar from '97 carrying over here is such a nice touch—it makes pulling off super moves feel way more strategic. And the backgrounds are honestly stunning for a CD release, every stage has this incredible layered detail that keeps pulling my eyes away mid-fight. This is the definitive ver

Michael J. ★★★★★

I was blown away by how detailed the backgrounds are—the extra effort really makes each fight feel alive. The power up bar adds a nice strategic layer without slowing things down.
