Great game, but I think Super Turbo Championship Edition is better. This first game is definitely worth playing though. It took me a few years to complete the first game, but it was fun. It just gets complicated or confusing sometimes if you take a break and then come back to the game and forget how to attack certain enemies or pull off moves you need, a way to come back and remember things easier would be nice. Only having one save file was a big downside to this game though and was very frustrating. There were a lot of little cosmetic changes in Super Turbo, Gold Edition is still worth playing if you want to see the game in its original form.

Fun metroidvania that was a joy to 100% Some negative reviews seem unfair. Yeh Super Turbo Championship has more stuff but buying either one will give you a copy of the other.

This game serves up colorful platforming fun with a Mexican flair. However, please note, Gold Edition's successor, Super Turbo Championship Edition, outshines it with more content and refined mechanics. You should get that game version, not this one. Anyways, if you already have this Gold Edition, then that's also okay - it still offers an enjoyable experience for fans of the genre. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3052658282 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3056044227
