A port of a really cool NES platformer with an amazing OST. It's a short game but isn't easy, as the gameplay revolves around creating a star that you can throw at enemies or ride around. The 100% is straightforward and involves getting both endings, with the true ending requiring you to get 6 special items in each of the first 6 stages, while not getting a game over before completing the 6th stage.

Trophies can only be acquired in 'Serious Mode', which is just the base game that disables any use of quicksaves or rewinds. Normal Mode has these special features and can be used to practice tougher segments. It's definitely recommended to play in Normal Mode at first to get a feel for what the tough spots are and use quicksaves/rewinding to practice.

While it's possible to do both endings in under 20 minutes, it involves a lot of really precise star throws and will just be too much of a time investment to master for what it's worth. The two playthroughs done here should be relatively 'safe' playthroughs as far as the things you need to do to reach the endings. One last note, enemies drop items if the tens and hundreds digit of your score match.
