I have always had a fascination with industrial levels in games... and it all came from this game... because this was the first game i had played that had industrial levels in it.
I remember i had this on my WII. and on the old smokey level, the game gave up if i didn't get a skull coin at the start and made a weird noise and froze. (note that this happened with all copy's)
Alison G Hmm..Im not sure. All characters are about the same, as far as I know. But for some reason when you´ll have to run fast...I prefer the little guy :)
