The game is notable for its quest structure, in which you receive points for every objective completed, instead of just simply going from one point to the next as is the case with many [[PlatformGame platformers]]. Also, the plethora of hidden objectives made this a kind of Platformer-{{RPG}} fusion.

** The translation for the second game starts to suffer around when you get to the Water Temple, with grammar errors and pronoun trouble here and there. An early example is Mizuno saying that the Hot Powder and Cold Powder "boosts damage due to heat or cold", which may cause players not to use them - why would you use an item that makes you take ''more'' damage from hot and cold? Actually, it turns out it was just translated badly - they actually make you ''impervious'' to damage from heat or cold.
