This is from the Master System, which was the only console that had it. In this version of the game Alex eats a rice ball instead of a hamburger and the standard attack/jump buttons are reversed. Nooo!
This platformer is about jumping around and punching blocks and enemies from the side when you come across them, in order to find money and items. You can use the money to buy vehicles and power-ups, bringing a nice bit of variety into the gameplay across the 17 levels. Much of the challenge comes from trying to line up to punch everything, which can get a bit awkward.
Occasionally you'll come across someone who'll challenge you to play a rock-paper-scissors guessing game, where you earn the right to pass if you win and forfeit a life if you lose.
The money you collect can also come in handy when you lose all your lives. At the game over screen, if you had collected 400 Baums you may continue from where you lost if you hold UP while pressing B eight times. The words "CONTINUE MODE" show up if you've done it correctly.
Hey, TofuFury here. Anyhow, I always wanted to try this one, but the Rock, Paper, Scissors mechanic was always a turn off for me. I have enough problems dealing with it in the strategy Street Pass game, and to lose a life as punishment seems a bit extreme for me. Is it easy to collect lives?
ReplyDeleteHey there Tofu :) I'm not sure if it's easy to collect extra lives but it seems the Rock, Paper, Scissors may not be random. I saw a guide on GameFAQs that has a pattern for all of them.
