Circus Charlie is the best pre-SMB platformer.

They nailed the dangerous feel of pulling mortal circus stunts, even if the game is cartoony and looks happy-go-lucky, you feel a certain tension, and seeing Charlie fall is always painful (especially when he falls from high places, which implies serious injuries)

>>6140804
When your childhood was just famiclone, I used to play this one a lot its pretty hard for my 6yo self but the control is pretty good, nothing unfair or unresponsive, one of the better nes games for sure, I used to play Legend of Kage too, great times.
