Gargoyle's Quest is really hard but really good

Wow this game is great. I'm playing it on the 3DS Virtual Console and it's well worth getting. I missed it back in the day but I still remember Firebrand's big green grinning face on the box while looking at shop shelves.

It has normal platforming gameplay but you can cling to walls and use a hover jump (like the Princess in Super Mario Bros 2) but it also has very light RPG/Adventure elements between levels and you get stronger in a prerequisite fashion as you progress. These elements may be done in a more or less straightforward way but they still make the game feel like an adventure.

Firebrand is an amazingly awesome name too.
