    Completed the game and collected all coins. I like it. Like it says on the tin, this is a love letter to all the games the dev grew up on, obviously Mario is in that mix. This is not trying to be a ground breaking game. It is a fun game if you're looking to scratch the nostalgia itch. I definitely got my moneys worth and would absolutely buy it again if I had it to do over. If a second 8BitBoy is made, I'd buy it.

    I remember getting this as a clueless middle schooler thinking it was some emergent indie platformer like Meatboy or something. I highly recommend doing an online emulator of Mario or Metroid. This is like a school project.
