About this game

Each hero begins with an individual stage before joining the group. After the team unites, you can choose who to control and use their different abilities to handle the terrain and enemies. Samson climbs walls and ceilings while throwing bells. Kikira flies briefly and breathes fire; Gamm crosses spikes and punches at short range. The small mouse K.O. climbs and places delayed bombs. Choosing a hero therefore changes both how you move and how you attack.

9.0 / 10Famicom / NES

For players who enjoy matching a character to the obstacle.

The heroes differ in movement as well as attacks, so switching can change an approach rather than merely its appearance. This favors players who like using a small team as a toolkit.

Strengths

  • Character choice affects both traversal and combat.

Who it is for: Players who enjoy ability-based platforming and changing roles.
