Super Bonk Sucks!
« on: December 07, 2012, 04:04:14 PM »
Ok, i'm sure some of you are gonna hate this one, but i can't be nice about it. I love bonk. Bonk's Revenge is one of my favorite platformers. Super Bonk for snes sucks!!!  Why? you ask. Well, first of all: BONK SHOULD NOT HAVE SLOWDOWN!!!!  Super Bonk is a sloppy mess of slowdown. Music sucks, sound effects really suck, level design in shit. The way he slides around the game should be called "Bonk on Ice". The only bright spots in the game is the graphics are decent, and some of the mini games are fun. I made it to the last level with tons of lives and simply gave up. I could not stand one more poorly designed level. Hell, Bonk on gameboy was considerably better, despite lack of color and sound channels.

This is why I would someday like to reshape this game completely, & do it for the Turbo, that would rock.  For me, even the gfx suffer, due to a darker pallete, it needs brightening up, more like Super Bonk 2 was.  Waaaaaayyy too many minigames in each stage as well, it slows down the gameplay.  I hope someday I can work on some sort of port or something that fixes all these things, that would make me a happy camper!

I haven't played it for years but I remember not likening it much and thinking the of engine version was much better.

I have Super Bonk on Virtual Console, and it's pretty bad.

Yeah, it's not very good. But like Duo_R said, the second one is better. It's kind of like Bonk's answer to Super Mario World. I really like it.

Neither of them are as good as Adventure or Revenge, though.
Games I Need: Bonk 3 (HuCard), Legend of Hero Tonma, Magical Chase, Soldier Blade, Super Air Zonk.

I don't really care for Super Bonk as well.  The gameboy ones aren't too bad but I agree the level design is so poor.

I have not played number two yet, but i'm not sure i want to. its gonna take alot for me to even consider going through that shit again. i'm thinking about giving the bonk remake for gamecube a try. i'm told its much better. for all the so called "advantages" of the super nes, super bonk is utter shit.

Agree, it doesn't have charms that the TG16 version has.
Turbo fan since 1991 after owning my first system.

I see Super Bonk as being about on par (possibly very slightly worse) than Bonk 3. There's slowdown, both got kind of lazy with level design. I agree completely that Super Bonk 2 is a vast improvement, too bad we didn't get it in the US.

With that said, Bonk's Revenge is the best game in the series.

I thought Super Bonk was fun as f*ck.   It's so off the wall and goofy.   I played the shit out of it growing up.

I enjoy Super Bonk if I just cruise through - no exploring, no bonus rounds, no monster stomachs. I like the graphics and the challenging bosses, the music is average, the level design is below average. Slowdown has never bothered me unless it's accompanied by massive flicker.
Bonk's Adventure and Super Bonk 2 are the best.

 I like the game the most once you fly out of the t-rex nose and end up in space.
