Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
Gathering the series' classics on a single cartridge extends the simple pleasure of blowing up walls to clear a path. You aim for a cleaner run, grab the power-ups and relaunch a short stage without thinking. The formula barely evolved from one entry to the next, but its clarity and tempo make it a safe bet for travel breaks.
