Oh crap, THIS game. Super Pitfall on the NES. Some of you may know of the classic Atari 2600 games Pitfall and Pitfall II. They were great, but when Pitfall Larry jumped to NES, he didn't do very well, mainly because this is a guessing game, like Milon's Secret Castle or Little Red Hood. So, let's see how bad this is.

    --- Is this Larry or Luigi? ---
This guy looks just like Luigi. Green clothes, a similar mustache, almost the entire sprite looks like it was just edited from Super Mario Bros. But anyways, let's move onto the actual game. The first ladder I see is a trap. When you start to go down, theladder randomly ends, and a bird kills you. Even if it didn't kill you, the spikes would of. Imagine if the first Mushroom in Super Mario Bros was a Poision Mushroom, and there was no differences from the Super Mushroom. That's how this is. Now, I discussed how he walks weird, right? Well, he dies weird too. He flips up and down with his arms and legs in the air making all sorts of weird noises with his mouth wide open. He goes mad. The force of the Dance of Death is so powerful, it kills any enemies that come in contact with Larry as he does it. Crazy guy. Now, here is our common pond frog. He hops back and forth inside this cave. If he touches you, Larry does the Dance of Death. Yeah, a FROG kills you. I've had frogs as pets before. Does that mean I'm a brave explorer asking for trouble? To kill things, you have a gun. That's how you kill these peaceful creatures. WHY WOULD YOU SHOOT AN INNOCENT FROG? And like many bad games, such as Cheetahmen II, you can't duck and shoot, so 90% of the enemies can't be hit.

   --- All the items are invisible. ---
Yeah, similar to A Week of Garfield, you have to jump around to find anything. It could be ammo, items you NEED, or anything, you can't see it unless you jump around. It's like Milon's Secret Castle, where you have to shoot bubbles EVERYWHERE. You just have to jump everywhere. The only thing you can see is the gold... but it does nothing other than give you points. And then, there's a rare item that looks like a mad animal in a cage. Now, the graphics have problems. Kind of like Super Mario Bros 3, there's always something wrong with the side of the screen. Sometimes, clones of Harry appear. It usally depends on what enemies are nearby. They can be red, blue, sometimes a different shade of green. If you fall down a ladder onto a falling platform into the spikes, you don't die. You don't do the Dance of Death until you turn around. Some ladders, like the first one, lead to nothing, or are at just random. Now, there's this lake where only part of the lake falls through the open hole. Yeah, it defies gravity and all COMMON SENSE! If you fall out, Harry goes skydiving. Look at him, he looks like he just dropped out of his plane and he's about to pull out his parachute. Reminding me of Bart vs. the World, there's a part where you have to climb up almost forever. If you mess up once, you start from the bottom. Now, I'm just wal-HOLY CRAP WHAT THE ZEBRA IS THAT? It appears to be a huge Easter Island Head or one of those stone faces from the Easton Kindgdom in Super Mario Land. Luckily, if you go to a lower place, you will be invincible to the head... you'll pass through it, and if you follow it to a wall, it just stays there. If you walk away and come back, it disappears. That is... kind of scary. Sometimes, you have to jump into walls to access warps.For one level, you have to jump into a bird. If all the other birds kill you, what makes this particular one so special? 

  --- The last level. ---
So, in the last level, the music finally changes from the usual annoying music, and you can actually shoot all of the enemies. So, there's this weird girl who's supposedly the princess we need to rescue. So, I walk up to her, and I don't rescue her. The game isn't over. Oh no. We're supposed to collect all the diamonds, clubs, spades, and hearts. How are we supposed to figure that out? Did they expect a magical leprechaun to tell us? Whatever, just get all the suits and crap. Thy don't even give you a hint. I mean, in 1987 there was no Internet, no walkthroughs, not even Nintendo Power was around then. Well, once you get all the suits, you... collect the princess. Now, what happens? The music changes... that's it? No, they have to go on thier romantic walk through this huge cave, and once they go to the beginning, then fall off a certain platform, and then the game starts freaking out, and a message says "CONGRATULATIONS YOU COMPLETED THE ADVENTURE OF THE LOST CAVERNS. PLEASE TRY ANOTHER WORLD." What other world? There's actually a 2nd quest, but why would I play that? I'm not going to, because I've had enough of this game. The secret-ness of this game compares to Little Red Hood! I guess I'll see you in my next review.
