At least StarTropics is generally mentioned on the discussion of underrated NES classics, but Zoda's Revenge isn't, and if it is it's said to be an inferior sequel--end of discussion.

It's different from the original, but I feel most of the changes positioned it in the right direction and made it damned good. The dungeons are better, but people refuse to see past the lack of the yo-yo (inconsequential to gameplay) and time-travel to mostly-different locations, as if everyone wanted another game with one setting for most of game.

Zoda's Revenge had better (and more) music, dungeons, movement mechanics, bosses, and weapons. It improved on the original on every way a sequel should and deserves to be considered a gem. The only legitimate flaw concerns its lack of puzzles and the odd removal of post-hit invincibility.
