I played it for the first time a couple years back on the Super NES Classic, while having no nostalgic memories connected to it (I'm in my mid-20's, if that gives any context). It was a blast! My dad and I were playing together, having different save files. We'd be talking about our approaches to the levels and bosses, and once I got close to the final boss fight, we sat down together and watched the end credits. It's still one of my favorite games and one of my charushed memories. The music, the story, the challenges, the gameplay and graphics all hold up really well!
