My perspective on imgur is "you get capcha'd, you're more likely to see failed uploads.
A logo for ants?
The audience is there, they're just flickering for some odd reason.
in japan, this game is called Doki! Doki! Yuuenchi japanese japanese crazyland. it’s mostly the same thing except you play as Sportsball Boy and I think it’s original. Doki doki, for what it’s worth, is the Japanese onomatopoeia for the sound your heart makes. As for this game, something something German Winky’s Freundin Kiki.
It wasn’t released in the US. It was going to, with Sportsball Boy and not Winky the Troll, but then something happened, probably Nintendo of America being idiots. Too Japanese, probably. Even though it's a game about a sportsball player.
If you get hit, your attack powers up. As sportsball boy, you throw two baseballs and then switch to a soccer ball but Trolls just throw magickal fire. You get your health refilled upon beating the level so it’s sort of advantageous.
Hey, look, it's Beat. And he works pretty much exactly like Beat from Mega Man.
Trolls are Danish so it would make sense to change things around for Europe.
I don’t know why I’m fighting film noir gangsters in a western themed level.
Clowns at least make sense though.
Water is instant death. obviously. Also, stepping where the ground curves downward causes you to fall through and die.
The UFOs are clouds in the Japanese version.
The levels are changed slightly but all the enemies are more or less the same. The trolls themselves (and their nakedness) make the game look like a cheap rom hack or pirate cart.
Tt was released in germany and also Italy and I’m seeing a lot of videos of it played on the Dendy so I think it has a cult following in Russia for whatever reason.
boss fights are considered separate levels for the purpose of health refills. At least this boss level is.
You can’t pause the game during boss fights to catch your breath
When Olmec’s eyes flash red, he’ll spit a stream of saliva out. This game loves to make things flicker so you might not be able to see it.
Also sometimes you’ll forget to jump and fall in the water.
90 percent of my deaths are me misjudging what is and isn’t ground. Most of the enemies are damage sponges but aren’t really threatening.
A few enemies, like these Putties here, do try to do something about you.
You can't really dodge the fish.
Oil shiekh Wizzrobes. Wizzrobes could do that teleportation stuff before Magikoopa.
We're in the Lost Woods from Adventure Island III.
I can’t even. This isn’t “tough,” this is cheap and unfair.
I bet you thought you were supposed to walk off the right edge here.
Oh no, it's Seifer Almasy, back for revenge.
It’s like I’m climbing the Uduntree, except the Uduntree isn’t a tree, it’s a frozen waterfall.
This boss fight does not refill your health. He has a tail. He’s a monkey, not a gorilla. In Japan, bell peppers fall from the sky.
Also the sprite flicker makes things way more annoying than they were meant to be.
Just jump over the spikes and use the velocitator or deceleratrix when there’s a jump.
I don’t know why this level is wobbling. It’s not a ship, it’s the Screamatorium of Dr. Frightmarestein.
Those black ghosts are platforms.
The music is really good. It was done by Nobuyuki Shioda, who also did Low G Man and Banana Prince.
Gamefaqs is lying to you. This level is far worse than the previous boat level.
You can't really avoid the fish that jump out from below you.
I was called here by Trolls who wished to pay me tribute.
Oh, the rocks just dissolve on their own. Of course, when they show up here, they spawn behind you and sandwich you.
I didn't take a screenshot of the rock so enjoy this knight guy instead. It's a rock. It's a brown oval. It's annoying.
There’s a lot of knockback in this game.
Unfortunately, the boss of this area is not considered a separate stage.
Fucking cat.
Bakeneko are cats that live long enough to gain magical powers. Sort of the cat version of a kitsune. Bakeneko are the seelie court version and Nekomata are the unseelie court version. Anyway, fucking cat.
If you can’t tell, the only place you can hit him is on the hinge of his jaw. And usually there’s so much shit on the screen that you slow down. So, I dunno, get lucky and have the Beat powerup appear and just tank him.
Fucking cat.
Jump jump slide slide.
The music here was changed from the Japanese version.
This boss is its own stage which is nice.
You can shoot up. You may have done this accidentally but this is the first time you ever actually need to do it.
He sends down a meteor shower when you hit him or whenever he feels like it and it always goes in the direction he’s facing.
He’s not as bad as the cat when you know the trick. which is to say, stand on the far side of the screen and aim at him when he’s facing towards the opposite side.
Oh, shit, there's a secret boss.
He’ll alternate between breathing fire and when he does that, you don’t want to stand under him, and casting lightning from his hands, and when he does that, you need to stand under him or you’ll take damage even if you’re on the edge of the screen and you have to move with the bolts which is easier said than done because you have ridiculous acceleration. You can only hit him when his eyes are flashing, turning this into a test of patience. The guide on Gamefaqs doesn’t mention this.
The ending just looks cheap. And oddly terrifying.
It’s not the best game set in an amusement park (Dif armeshen hastrech far la gwar dir) but it’s not the worst either (HEY YO ba-dum-dum-dum toot toot BEBE’S KIDS ba-dum-dum-dum toot toot HEY YO ba-dum BEBE’S KIDS ba-dum-dum-dum-da-dum-da-dum-da-dum-dum-dum).
burning question: what's more American than sportsball?
