A platformer that takes place in an amusement park named Marvel Land where you play as Talmit. Along with jumping on your enemies you can also pick up shadows of yourself that can be used to attack enemies. There are other items that can be obtained to increase your speed and allow you to jump higher. Boss battles are done with mini games such as a rock-paper-scissors timed attack game.
 
GoodBad
  • Colorful amusement park theme
  • Password save
  • Has references throughout to other Namco characters
  • Clones can be used to attack and pick up other items
  • Unique abilities for a platformer
  • One hit deaths
  • Lots of slowdown
  • Jumping feels floaty
  • Music can be grating after a while
  • Boring mini game boss battles
  • Some items you pick up will hurt you
  • I don't like how the character stares at you when you stop for a short period of time

7A solid platformer that has a bunch of little issues but is still a lot of fun to play. The boss battles are odd.
