PrinceWatercress plays Super Boy II - Part 1 of 4


More of this? Oh, boy...

Yep, we're playing the sequel to Super Boy. Guess what? It's just like the first game. You press (and not hold) 2 to run and 1 to jump, and the jumps are still floaty. Also, the game is just as crazy as ever, and is based on the Japanese sequel that is known as The Lost Levels in America. If you've played the first game, you know what to expect here...all the way down to the random-as-all-hell appearance of power-ups. The only difference is that enemies can pass through coins now.

As soon as you start the first world, you get to see bit and pieces of World 1-1 from the actual Lost Levels game as well as some original level design...if you can call it such. As a matter of fact, the part with all the ? blocks from World 1-1 is repeated at the beginning of World 1-2! At least you can walk on the ceiling in World 1-2 to skip a few parts of the level.

World 1-3 is your usual tree platforming, and World 1-4 is your usual castle level. At the long pit with two Podaboos in 1-4, make a long jump when both Podaboos are on the screen, and make sure you hold 1 the entire time, or else you won't make it. Make a running jump over Bowser to get past him. At least the game no longer says "SORRY NOTHING" when you make it over the bridge.
