...Prince of Persia creator Jordan Mechner even considered the port a "brand new game". 😲

Also the second installment in the series, Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame, received an SNES version in 1996. 🧭

This one was ported by French software publisher Titus Software. On SNES, Prince of Persia 2 has some missing features and lacks several stages, including the last one. This version even contains glitches, overall being considered an inferior port. 👎

...additional levels, and the original levels that remained are harder and had some extra rooms or different routes. Also, there are additional boss fights, some of which are not the typical sword fighters or involve not only sword fighting but dodging as well. ⚔️

Initially for the Japanese computer ports, Arsys Software also redesigned the Prince's appearance, introducing the classic turban-and-vest look. 👳‍♀️

After the original Apple II release, Prince of Persia was ported to a wide range of platforms, among them an SNES version published by Konami in 1992. 🛕

Aside from graphic and sound enhancements, developer Arsys Software added new enemies, traps and music to the SNES port. Also the player was given two instead of one hour to rescue the Princess like in all the other versions of the game. ⏳

This is because the SNES version features...

Hudson Soft released the first five games of the Super Bomberman sub-series for SNES, the fourth and fifth one being Japan-exclusive releases. 💣

Requiring the Super Multitap peripheral, the first Super Bomberman is one of the first 4-player games for the SNES, with the later titles even supporting up to five players. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Instead of being renamed to Dynablaster, those are the first games of the franchise that retained the Bomberman title also in Europe. 🇪🇺

💯 New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe ✅

That was an easy one!

Playing Super Mario 3D World these days I remembered that I completed New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe on Switch during its initial release in 2019, achieving 4 of the 5 stars on my save file for 100% completion. ⭐

Some research revealed that I only missed to catch all the 7 Nabbits for the fifth star back in the day. Spent 15 min today to get the remaining two Nabbits and therefore add this game to my 100% achievement list. 🚩

Having seen The Super Mario Bros. Movie in the theater, yesterday I once again watched the Blu-ray release. All the references to the games triggered me to play a Mario title afterwards. 🍄

Luckily there still was Super Mario 3D World in my collection, bought years ago in a bundle but haven't played it so far. 🏰

The game brilliantly combines the 2D and 3D elements of the series, while the Switch 2 upgrade looks and performs great. 🌟

...published in Europe for Master System with a 1994 launch date, but was pulled at the last moment for unknown reasons. A Master System version was then exclusively released in a barely finished state by Tec Toy in Brazil in 1996. 🇧🇷

This port is an unpolished build of the game with some stages not having music and minor glitches, some including a choppy scrolling floor in the bonus stages and invisible obstacles in the turbo tunnel. 🔇

Battletoads in Battlemaniacs is a 1993 beat 'em up platform game developed by Rare for the SNES. 🐢

The game is split up into six stages, each with their own special type of gameplay. Many of them are enhanced or remixed versions of levels from the original Battletoads, initially released for NES in 1991. 🔀

As in previous games, the artistic style of Battletoads in Battlemaniacs is decidedly cartoony. 📺

The game was planned to be...
