Legendary Axe, The (USA)

Getting started: You start each level with a basic axe weapon. The objective is to move from left to right, slashing enemies with the B button and jumping over obstacles with A. The game is a straightforward action-platformer: you fight through seven stages, each with its own theme and boss at the end. There's no complex inventory or leveling up; it's all about timing your attacks and avoiding damage.

Health is displayed as a bar at the top of the screen. You can find power-ups by breaking certain objects or defeating specific enemies - these include items that refill health, extend your attack range, or grant temporary invincibility. Be careful, because enemy patterns can be tricky, and some stages have environmental hazards like pits or falling rocks. The game doesn't have a save function, so you'll need to finish it in one sitting or rely on the password system (if available) - check the manual or online resources for the exact password codes.
