This thread half-inspired me to replay Super Bonk.

I popped the cart in.

Ha!

Maybe I'll give it another chance next year.

Like vestcoat said, if they had left out all that extra crap that really slowed down the gameplay and chopped up the levels it would have helped. but bonk still controlled shitty in my opinion. I also agree that the bosses were challenging and in the spirit of bonk. Super bonk though has just way to much wrong overwhelming the right. next bonk i want to play is bonks revenge on gameboy.

I love all Bonk games,and the first Super Bonk is my favorite closely followed by Bonk 3. I guess I prefer the maligned ones...they're both a little crazier than the avg Bonk and I guess that's why they're my favs (and I love Big Bonk).

I admit that I am biased towards TG-16 Bonk 1 & 2...which means that I use them as the yardstick to measure all the other games. If I let go of Bonk 1 & 2, I probably would find more to like in the other games.

Believe me, I wanted to like the other games. But Super Bonk, especially, stumbled and bumbled its way into the glue factory on its own accord.

Super Bonk is def more of a slower adventure than the PC Engine ones, it's a bit more of a kitchen sink kind of game. I think it blows Super Mario World out of the water in fun factor,variety,looks,sounds,etc.. I think non-Turboheads probably appreciate it alot more on average.

What's funny, is that the movemnt of Bonk himself I think is faster then the older games, but the game itself still feels slower.

I decided I'm gonna sell off my SNES collection (about 18 carts) in favor of converting it all to the SD2SNES Everdrive (the one cart to rule them all), and Super Bonk is one of my originals that's got to go - like the rest they just sit, collect dust and they might as well find a new home (I don't feel that attached to anything, other than my 4 Squaresoft titles like Chrono Trigger which I'm keeping). It's in very good condition and complete: box, manual, etc. PM me an offer if interested, it's going off to eBay eventually if not.

As for what I think of it, I have the same criticism for Bonk III (NEC), very boring music... I verified this with the sound menu and I just don't like it (read: I *hate* it)! On the plus side, it has very colorful graphics, provides another Bonk adventure, etc. same kind of deal as other Bonk games. Worth a play-through, then off to storage it goes!
