Pocky & Rocky

At last, here's a fast-pace, two-player, arcade-style MF action/adventure game for the Super NES that hits you hard with a horde of evil beings and with no slowdown in sight. Pocky & Rocky by Natsume packs great blast-em-up action.

Goblins Gone Wild

Long ago, the Nopino Goblins went crazy and ransacked the countryside. Pocky, a young girl who specializes in the removal of spells and evil spirits, jumped on the case and exorcised the badness from the goblins.

Now, Rocky the Raccoon, leader of the Nopino Goblins, has come back to Pocky begging for help. An unknown someone has cast another evil spell on his goblins, and it's driving them crazy again. Pocky and Rocky must travel through treacherous terrain, curing the Nopino Goblins once and for all. On their way, they must also uncover the sinister spell caster.

Major Magic

Pocky & Rocky is an intense spell blaster, where you cast at your enemies Magic Cards or Magic Leaves (depending on the character you play). You can stop laughing now, because the Cards and Leaves actually represent major firepower. In fact, Pocky & Rocky put up an excellent fight that belies its cutesy title and graphic style. Both characters have the ability to grab power-ups that turn their magic into Wide Shots or Fire Shots. For a real blast, you can also find bombs. Pocky pulls an awesome spin attack, and Rocky can become an invincible stone statue.

This game offers five stages of heart-pounding action. You fight a massive army of creatures as you trek through haunted forests, weird tea gardens, and spooky spiritual grounds. The game view is set at a 3/4 angle with 360-degree scrolling.

In this masterpiece, you can play as Pocky or Rocky. You can also recruit a friend and play both characters simultaneously. Both Pocky and Rocky are easy to control. They respond to your button presses instantly, which adds a solid arcade feel to the game play. Their Slide move is particularly cool.

Easy on the Ears and Eyes

Pocky & Rocky has a leading-edge look and sound. The characters sport sharp- looking features and smooth animation. The backgrounds are highly detailed and very colorful. The storm effect with wind, rain, thunder, and lightning is particularly impressive. The game's sounds sing, too. The background music has a warm Japanese melody that sets an upbeat pace for each area you encounter.

Cute, but Cunning

This game is definitely not easy. It features thumb-busting challenge with great game play. The cutesy story line and graphics might fool you, but be prepared to sweat. Don't get cocky with Pocky & Rocky.

This cool trick will let you get a stage select for this game. Here is how to do it: On the Player Selection screen, take controller 1 and press and hold the X and Y buttons. With these held, press these buttons in this order: A, A, A, A, B, B, B, B, A, B, A, B, A, B, A, B. You will then hear a sound that indicates the trick worked. Choose your player and hit the START button. The Stage Select screen will then appear. Now, choose any stage you wish to play. You will even get to choose the last stage in which you must fight the Black Mantle. Defeat this last Boss and win the game!

Goblin got your tongue? Or rather your land? Never fear, Pocky & Rocky are here, courtesy of the brains at Natsume. Grimy goblins have consumed Pocky's homeland and she has teamed up with her trusty raccoon friend Rocky to rid the place of these meanies. Choose to play as either character or as both in the two-player mode. Pocky uses a Magic Stick and lethal playing cards to wipe out enemies. Precious leaves serve as Rocky's main weapon and he can turn to stone pre-attack. Utilize your protective shields and a dog to insure safety. Collect magic items to sustain you! Rebel rodent power!

Years ago, young Pocky put down an attack by the Nopino Goblins. Now these Goblins are getting restless again, and Pocky, along with his friend Rocky, must slug it out through six lands to find out who the evil mastermind is behind this invasion! Play as either Pocky or Rocky, or both simultaneously if two people want to play! Each character is armed with their own weapon: Pocky has magic throwing cards for attack, and a magic broom for defense. Rocky has magic leaves, and relies on his tail for defense! This isn't just your regular shooter, though. Timing, strategy and quick reflexes are very important, and you will have a better chance of finishing the game with two players.

One hint: if you get real close to the enemies that shoot or throw things at you, you can use your stick to knock their weapons right back at them!

A cartoony action game for one or two players. Pocky & Rocky takes you through multiple stages of colorful fighting action. As Pocky (a doe-eyed young girl) or Rocky (a raccoon), you must fight through waves of heinous creatures that constantly regenerate--it's not a game for the completest who insists on killing every single onscreen enemy.

One of Pocky & Rocky's notable features is the variety of weapons available. Both characters can set bombs and slide across the screen, but Pocky can throw cards or swing a staff (for long- and short-distance attacks, respectively), and Rocky can throw leaves or swish his powerful tail.
