This entry distinguished itself within the series by introducing smooth scrolling and incorporating several mini-games. It was originally developed for a console, a first for the character, and later received a revised NES release. The updated version featured a larger number of collectible stars, a faster walking speed, and adjustments to level layout and inventory management.
Progress requires gathering a set number of stars to unlock areas, culminating in a rescue at a castle tower. The player has a limited number of lives, though more can be earned. The overall experience blends inventory-based puzzle solving with challenging arcade-style action sequences.
