An old favourite
My favourite Game Boy game. I loved it as a kid (though I found it very hard) but a more recent playthrough has confirmed to me how fantastic this game is. Tons and tons of levels and a great mix of platforming and puzzling. The visuals are varied and each world really has its own flavour to it which is helped by the cool overworld maps too and the music is some of the best on the Game Boy. A masterpiece in my eyes.
