Yes. It's SMB for the Commodore 64, except with some weird stuff thrown in. Nintendo sued them for making it, but I don't remember the outcome. The fireballs act really odd with some of the powerups.
It's pretty fun as far as C64 games go. I wish it was one of the games on the C64 DTV actually.

BTW: In the future, it'd be nice if you made the topic something more like "Has anyone played Great Giana Sisters?" Half of the topics on this forum are like "has anyone ..." and half of those are way too vaguely labelled. I'd appreciate it, at least... (though I know part of the vagueness has to do with getting people to read it)

If you can get a spectrum copy of that HOLD ON TO IT! It is worth tons, as only prototypes were ever made, and the C64 version was rare too

There's a homebrew DC port of it iirc.

fine, The Great Giana Sisters is a game released the Commodore 64, Nintendo Bastards threatened with lawsuits, and the game is indefentely shelved and taken off shelves, but prototype spectrum versions exist, and are extremely rare.
