This is a pretty good game, but some of those glitches were just rude, and wierd. The game pushed me off of a platform I was about to land on, and when I was fighting the first boss, apparently you can only fly right when you get hit by the fish, because I got hit on its left side and went through the entire fish, taking damage the whole way, until I got out and died. Also, there were a few times when I tried to crouch under a passing enemy and it ended up hitting me, when it looked like it would have gone right above my head in reality. And in Bowsers Castle, and maybe other stages, I held Down and Right and floated over gaps while crouching. Anyway, glitches aside, this was a pretty solid game. There aren't any checkpoints before each level's boss, but you make up for that by giving a health meter. And kudos on the second boss, I was surprised at how well thought out it was. However, I didn't make it to the third boss at all, since Bullet Bills kept shooting at me from right next to me, and right at Luigi's head, usually without warning because of the screen scroll and buzz saw. Still, it's a solid enough game that it got me addicted right from the first death.
