Introduce
In Bonk's Revenge, players take on the role of Bonk, a prehistoric boy with an exceptionally hard head. Bonk's primary mission is to rescue Princess ZaZa from the evil King Drool. The game is a classic side-scrolling platformer, where you must navigate through various diverse environments, from jungles to caves and volcanoes.
The highlight of Bonk's Revenge's gameplay is Bonk's unique attack ability: the headbutt. Players can make Bonk jump and perform a powerful headbutt down onto enemies or objects to destroy them. The headbutt can also be used to bounce off enemies or certain surfaces, creating interesting combo movements.
Bonk can collect pieces of meat to temporarily transform and power up. There are three different types of meat, each granting a special ability:
- Small Meat: Makes Bonk stronger, increasing his damage output and allowing him to break certain special blocks.
- Large Meat: Transforms Bonk into an even more powerful version, sometimes allowing him to climb walls or become temporarily invincible.
- Special Meat (often cooked meat): Provides unique abilities like flight or bomb-throwing.
Levels are designed with numerous obstacles, diverse enemies, and hidden secrets. Players need to skillfully jump over pits, avoid traps, and defeat various prehistoric creatures. At the end of each world, Bonk will face a unique boss, requiring players to discover their weaknesses to defeat them. Graphics and sound on the Game Boy Color are improved compared to the original version, providing a more vibrant experience for players.
