Great improvements for difficulty balanceNokia33102022-02-19Version 1.0

This patch delivers what the description says and turns a horribly difficult platform game into a much better experience. Having a save feature is always a welcome addition to any game too.

Make no mistake, this game is still difficult. If you have kids and want to introduce them to the Dennis character, the movie and cartoons are still great family entertainment. This SNES release is more of an oddity for retro gamers to appreciate. Your mileage will vary depending on how determined you are to progress through its other challenges.

If you enjoy dipping into games like this, you'll be glad to play it with this patch.
