The game doesn’t start with a throwing weapon. Bones have to be collected as a power-up just like all the rest, so there are not 5 additional power-ups beyond the default. There’s no “flint” (whatever that is you’re referring to) or “electricty” in the SNES port. Aside from the title screen, even the screenshots you used are from the arcade original as well. Have you ever played a SNES game that prompts player 2 to “INSERT COIN”?

You said the controls are limited to, “Attack, [sic] jump and run. That’s [sic] was it.” In fact, “that’s” was not it. While I’m picking nits, there was also a roll move, which can be essential in perfecting the game, since it’s sometimes the only reasonable way to avoid damage.

Since you mentioned how much you favor the ability to choose the stages from a world map, it might also be worth mentioning that there’s not really any choice at all. Players still have to complete all the stages in the order they’re presented aside from the option to return to completed levels for more power-ups.

Finally, I despise you for bookending this review with references to the Grand Theft Auto series. They may be fine games in their own regard, but the mention of them in the same breath with anything from the SNES era is like some kind of ideological pollution.
