 Back in the late '80s, early '90s, game developers weren't sure what to do about handheld consoles. Clearly they were popular, so it made sense to take advantage of that market -- but the hardware was simpler, less prestigious even than home console hardware (never mind arcade games). So, when a familiar franchise hit the Game Boy or the Game Gear, it always was a bit... off. Why was ''The Castlevania Adventure'' so slow, and full of ropes? Why was ''The G.G. Shinobi'' structured like ''Mega Man''? Why did ''Ninja Gaiden Shadow'' feel more like ''Shadow of the Ninja''?

 That's not to say that there was anything wrong with the portable games. Often they carved out their own interesting niches. It's more that they tended to be set aside from the main franchise, both in storyline and in design.

 A side-scrolling platformer that bears many similarities to [[Adam Tyner]]'s ''[[Mister Spiff]]'' series.
-Character looks exactly like Mister Spiff. Game plays identically to Spiff. Has similar iconography to the earlier Spiff games. It's less abstract than Spiff becomes, though; more representational than even the first game.

 Just the one labyrinthine level.
