Collector interest

A Jaleco platformer of short missions and a chibi hero, Maru's Mission appears here in its US version, derived from a 1991 Japanese title. With no real aura, the game owes its value to a limited American run rather than reputation, complete and sealed copies sitting well above loose. Collecting interest stays minor and factual, a niche item for anyone rounding out the early Game Boy Jaleco action catalog, without spectacular scarcity.
