The game is a touch easier to navigate through due to areas being more diverse than in the original. However, the game is often the neglected member of the series, partly because of it being on the Game Boy and partly from lacking the villainous Space Pirates that appeared in the rest of the series. It is still notable for non-Japanese gamers as the first in the series to allow battery saving. |
