Solid SuperMarioBros3 knock-off, but lacking in surprises

Starting up Tiny Toon Adventures feels quite familiar, many of the enemies, abilities and the general gameplay are heavily inspired by SuperMarioBros3 with a Tiny Toons coat of paint. The resulting game is all around quite solid, but lacking both in creativity and complexity compared to SMB3. Most of the tilesets are really basic, especially in later levels, and don't really give a good sense of setting or progress. The lack of length is made up with an increased difficulty. The ability to have different partner characters with their own set of special ability is neat, but doesn't feel used to it's full potential here as switching characters is limited to collectible items. Nevertheless, despite its short comings, it is a solid, albeit simple, jump'n run.
