Kattobi! Takuhai Kun (Japan)

Getting Started Start the game and press Enter (Start) on the title screen. You will see a menu in Japanese - the first option is likely "Start" or "Game Start". Use the D-Pad to highlight it and press X to confirm. The core loop is simple: run and jump through side-scrolling stages, avoiding pits, enemies, and hazards. Your goal is to reach the end of each stage while collecting packages scattered along the way. Touching an enemy or falling into a pit costs you a life. Pay attention to the timer at the top of the screen - you have a limited time to finish each stage. Some packages are placed in tricky spots requiring precise jumps. The D-Pad controls movement, X is jump, and S is run (hold to move faster). There are no continues, so careful play is essential. Since all menus and on-screen text are in Japanese, memorizing the layout after a few tries helps navigate options like sound test or difficulty settings.
