About this game
Nintendo's 1994 SNES game, and the map is the thing. It fills in only the squares you have actually walked through, so the black space left on the pause screen is everywhere you have not been yet. The Morph Ball, the Grapple Beam and the Space Jump are the answers to parts of it you passed hours ago. Nothing is explained in words: the wall jump is taught by watching a group of animals do it in front of you. By the last stretch you are finding your way through that map from memory, because you filled it in a square at a time.
