Monkey Magic

199750/100
Platform
A forgotten gem from the late 90s, the platforming in Monkey Magic is all about momentum and precision. Players control a monkey, swinging through vibrant, obstacle-laden stages using a grappling hook. The level design emphasizes creative traversal, demanding players master the hook's arc and weight to reach otherwise inaccessible areas. It's a challenging experience that rewards experimentation and a keen understanding of physics.

About Monkey Magic

Details
Based on the cartoon series, this 2D side-scrolling action game (with 3D elements) has you seeking out Master Subodye to learn the four magic spells: fire, freeze, shrink and strength. Use these powers in over 30 worlds (five levels featuring 28 scenes and 16 opponents) to gain items like the Power Rod in order to survive the game. Then travel the world to gain other magical items and defend your monkey friends from, well, everybody. With a playful spin on one of the great Asian folk tales, Sunsoft's Monkey Magic is filled with martial arts moves, environments and exotic, Eastern melodies. Can you set a world right when it doesn't want to be corrected? Are you "monkey" enough to survive the attacks of gods and monsters? You bet your prehensile tail you are!
