Lets do it!!! Okay kid, wipe that drool off your chin and listen up if you really want to learn something about this game.

In the second level, I couldn’t beat the level without beating all of the bosses. The third level was quite tricky because you had to finish the game with the fire flower power. Very well done for just a little guy. I can’t wait …
