-
Some slowdown (causes input lag)
Sloppy hit detection (larger sprites)
Frustrating water level
Pretty slow paced
Still has the pointless hit animation
Small attack and jump delay while turning around (breaking animation cancels your moves)
Mostly simple bosses (some take very long to kill, the pig boss is easier than the mini-boss before it)
Having to switch costume just to open item boxes gets tedious
Pointless attack delay when using the (rehashed) magic lamp
Uneven difficulty curve
Bland sound effects
Can't switch costumes while pausing any more
Can't run manually (need to use slopes)
Reused sprites
Some trial & error (bosses)
First extra heart is out in the open
Some blind jumps (can't look up/down)
