It’s a lot more of a platformer than this, given it has actual jumping. I did wonder if Halloween Harry counted given the Jetpack. Jazz has it’s issues but is faster, smoother, has way better music and I like the 3D bonus levels as well. This did come out a year earlier I suppose.
The boss design is similarly uninspired in both games. It put me in mind of Jazz every time I got to one of the bosses.
