PC Genjin 2 (PS3)
(Not the version I’m playing, like the label design though : )
The colors are vibrant and the sprite work delectable.
Eat a small piece of meat–not a big one–and you transform into…
Cute baby girl Bonk (“PC Beauty”) was replaced in the US release by Crackhead Bonk! ; P
Three years ago I played about halfway through the US version, Bonk’s Revenge, and had forgotten about cute Bonk! It was the version on the Turbo Duo’s “3-in-1” Gate of Thunder pack-in disc, although actually it was 4-in-1 because it has Bomber Man as a hidden game! The collection has a special Bonk game select menu!
“Attack power is doubled,” according to Google Translate of the JP PS3 version’s in-game manual on PC Beauty!
Her kiss–close-up or at a distance–stuns!
Her dive-bonk blows the enemies away!
If she dive-bonks the ground, it paralyzes even midair enemies!
You only get to be PC Beauty for about 14 seconds at a time! I want to be her all the time! Why doesn’t she have her own game??
Even in the early going here there’s been a fair amount of precision platforming, and dive-bonking the small/moving enemies is a bit tricky and kind of a pain to have to do all the time.
The second boss encounter, though, is delightful: big, weird, well-animated, and sporting a fun cycle of creative transformations and attacks–and a big hit area that even a clunky junker like me can chain-dive-bonk and feel cool!
(“Boohoo!”)
I want a Bonk Boss Rush game!
This Japanese “PC Engine Archives” PSN Store version has separate regular and turbo buttons.
