Background
Pudgy hero Master Higgins returns in this 16-bit upgrade of the popular Adventure Island series for the NES. Continuing Hudson Soft's second most beloved franchise (next to Bomberman), Super Adventure Island has the same type of side-scrolling gameplay, but with richer, more cartoon-like graphics and a better, more varied soundtrack (there's a different tune for each of the game's 20 levels of play). Gone are the dinosaurs to ride from Adventure Island II, but the skateboard remains, there's still lots of fruit to collect in order to maintain energy, and the variety of challenges includeswimming through the belly of a whale, riding a mine cart, and fending off walruses, balloon-riding lizards and other enemies with axes, boomerangs and other weapons.
