Alright, it's not quite as good as Super Mario Bros, but it was still better than most of the platform games being made at the time.

Remember when Nintendo overstepped their boundaries and sued this company into oblivion, but now we see the games on Nintendo consoles proving Giana Sisters were in the right the whole time? Haha almost sounds like Nintendo has always been money hungry greedy corporates who think they own the concept of a platformer.
