I just Beat Bonk's Revenge. It's similar to Bonk's Adventure in that simple persistence wins the game and that is what I did. No continues but I would have to spam enemy bosses. That ballerina thing I would get hurt every time I hit it. The game I feel is not as good as Bonks Adventure although it should be. The grafx are vastly superior but the control is not. They ruined Bonk's flip control and timing. That said I believe it was done on purpose to make the game harder which it was. I enjoyed the Chip Tunes but they began reusing them and on a game with only 7 levels I feel that is kinda cheap. The final boss is a joke, so easy I could not believe it was over when it was.
The Bonus levels I thought were cheap pieces of shit but after relentless trying I got the hang of most. For some reason I can't do the bouncing flower Bonus levels as I cannot consistently get a high bounce so I always fall into the pit. I am getting good at the Glacier Level for sure. I need help with the Smash Antenna and Sno-Men level.
I liked how the end bosses had levels to go though but I didn't get the crab thing at all. Yes it helped you get to places but why? I felt parts of the game were really cheap with spam hits over and over however I really liked the Laundry level, so out of place so weird. The water levels I kick ass at for some reason.
I would recommend to anyone as it defines the console for the mainstream audience. Being a Suburban NJ Kid Bonk ran Neck and Neck with Mario and Sonic for a minute which to me is a MASSIVE victory.
The biggest disappointment was all the stillness in characters. Bonk REALLY needs to be able to duck, this single sprite thing just stinks. I would stop and look at the backgrounds, just still with the fire and lava moving just by streaming very colorful colors over and over again. I thought the Skeleton Elephants looked good but all is stylistically beautiful.
