* EasterEgg: If you collect every single arch in the three {{Secret Level}}s, Ronald will give you infinite lives. Well, at first he'll accidentally "only" give you 100, but when you get down to 94 he'll realize his mistake and give you infinite lives for real. However, due to a bug, the game only recognizes that you've collected every arch in a level if you die afterwards, and not if you clear the level properly. Between this bug and how hard it is to collect every arch in the first place (there's no counter!), this secret went undiscovered for 24 years.

The gameplay is very reminiscent of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2''. You take control of your character as he runs and jumps through levels in search of the cards, all the while having to fend off enemies by grabbing blocks and other items and tossing them.

You can choose between Mick and Mack at the beginning of the game, and switch between them by hitting blocks with a crescent moon shaped on them, but both characters don't really play differently from each other with no special abilities or attributes.
