A truly amazing game. Not only can you swing your whip in all 8 directions, you can hold Attack and then press directions to swish it around freestyle. A wonderful effect, although with perhaps not much value. Also you can use your whip like a grappling hook to attach to metal rings and swing around Tarzan-style.
Unlike other 'Super'-ified titles available for the 'Super' NES, there doesn't seem to have been a 'regular' version available, ever (at least not in the west).

This was THE reason to buy the SNES when it first came out. Not much of a story, but more great music, interesting levels, and WHIP SWINGING!!
