What the critics said

  • The magazine praised the "jolly and colourful" graphics and said "the gameplay is as addictive as all the others in the series."

    — Computer and Video Games, 1990

  • He stated that it "lost almost all of the momentum built up" by Alex Kidd in Miracle World and "did away with many of the mechanics that made Miracle World memorable, like the different rideable vehicles" and the ability to punch.
