Non-level-based exploration platformer general

This deserves a bump. Great game, even if Splinter tells you to "prepare for buttle!" I was so proud when I beat it all the way through for the first time, instead of just guessing the password to take me to the final save point with maximum stats.

Hunter x Hunter on the Game Boy Color?

Radical Rescue is a great gameboy game but I'm sure you're just b8ing since its very rudimentary compared to Symphony of the Night.

The final boss is also near-impossible.

This. I played this game up to the final Shredder fight many times, but I was never able to beat him.

Holy fuck I remember playing this as a kid and getting stuck. Back then I didn't know of the concept of a metroidvania, but now it all makes sense. I do recall the music being kind of interesting.

The final boss is not near-impossible! Once you know his patterns, he's almost easy.

It does help a lot to backtrack and get the final pizza, then save it throughout the boss rush.
