Taito 2D action with a jetpack hero. Foot-level platforming alternates with horizontal shooting; the jetpack handles well, the physics floats. Standard Game Boy grey presentation, decent level design without surprises. Minor but pleasant for obscure-platformer fans.

Adventures of Star Saver, The (Game Boy) price, value & rarity
This Taito action title had a narrow PAL run and thin European distribution, making it a quiet but sought-after piece for GB collectors chasing the full Taito catalogue. The loose cartridge still turns up at a measured price, yet a complete boxed European copy with its manual is markedly harder to assemble, and that is where the version's real desirability sits.
