YMMV / Super Pitfall

• Fanon Discontinuity: Fans of the original games hate this one and like to pretend it doesn't exist.
• Fridge Logic: How exactly were Rhonda and Quickclaw turned to stone and trapped in a cage respectively anyway?
• Goddamned Bats:
  • A literal example with the bats in the game, who are the only flying enemies and are thus the hardest.
  • The fact that Harry cannot shoot while crouching effectively turns 95% of enemies into invincible minor minions.
• Good Bad Bugs: By shooting and jumping while against a wall, Harry can clip through them and skip entire floors. This can even be done while falling through floors.
• Memetic Loser: Harry, for being able to be killed by a snail.
• Narm: When Harry dies, he appears to throw a temper tantrum.
• Nintendo Hard: Difficult to complete, though generally easy to deal with enemies. Due to hidden items and the possibility of entering an area too soon, it's very possible to get lost or stuck.
• Scrappy Mechanic:
  • The fact that almost all the items are invisible until you jump in the right spot.
  • The fact that many enemies are too small to shoot unless you can jump and shoot from a lower ledge.
• Sequelitis: Taken to extremes. Many retro gamers agree that Super Pitfall is one of the worst NES games of all time, to the point that some say it killed the entire Pitfall franchise.
