Around 2 hours 16 minutes to beat. Good game with limited continues initially but it offers a stage select to start back on whichever stage you last got to. I used the stage select feature. Once you start a stage from the stage select menu you get another 3 continues. The main issue with losing your 3 continues is that you have to use the stage select menu and restart the stage from the beginning.
Full stage restarts edited out. There was two instances where I ran out of the 3 continues the game gives you. I went into the stage select menu to start back at those stages. I edited out those full stage restarts since it would be redundant. I do show most of the continues I lost. Only about 20 minutes was edited out.
