Is it still worth playing?

Jupiter and Ape's Super Famicom puzzle game and compatible with the Super Famicom Mouse, a sequel to Mario's Picross. You decipher the picture in each level, with puzzles getting harder as you go. Mario's puzzles are played against a countdown timer, and the time lost doubles with every mistake: one minute, two, four and finally eight. After the first level you can also play Wario's puzzles, where the timer counts up from zero and mistakes are not penalized. The puzzles are set in stone and picked out by Mario with a hammer and chisel, and when you solve one correctly the black and white picture turns colored and animated and shows its title. You still slow down and check each clue, because mistakes cost double time.
