The Trolls in Crazyland is an action-platformer that's exclusive to the NES in PAL regions.
+ Minecart rides are reasonably fun (with an impressive loop-the-loop graphical effect), and the faux game ending is brilliant.
+ Music is top-tier and rivals some of the best soundtracks from NES stalwarts like Capcom and Tecmo.
- Level design repeats both stage and enemy layouts in quick succession, which gives the action a cut-and-paste feel.
- Mechanic of gaining more powerful weapons when you're low on health is ridiculous and doesn't reward skilled play.
- When at full health, regular enemies can often be complete bullet sponges, making it a real drag to move ahead.
- Controls are floaty / overly-sensitive, and your character has a tendency to slide off ledges with alarming frequency.
