Summary
Notable features also include prehistoric and futuristic levels as well as feudal Japan like the 1991 prequel. Also, like the previous game, contact with enemies or falling off the screen (unlike other games, you will not lose a life automatically) will take one point off of your life bar. In the Mega Drive/Genesis version of the game, the Demon King from the first game will taunt you on a black screen when you lose a life with sayings such as "Give up mortal!" and "Going Down!" until you lose your last life.
