Introduces the 'Fruit System' - collecting 100 fruits grants extra lives, while special golden fruits unlock hidden warp zones. The game's 32 stages include underwater caverns, volcanic areas, and cloud platforms with distinct enemy types for each biome.
Notable for its cheerful soundtrack by Jun Chikuma (Bomberman series) and expressive character sprites. Boss fights against giant creatures like the fire-breathing moai statue showcase the PC Engine's graphical capabilities.
