Chiki Chiki Boys (USA, Europe) - Action Classic
Chiki Chiki Boys is a side-scrolling action-platformer for the Sega Genesis, released in the early 1990s. Published by Sega, this official cartridge title landed in North America and Europe under the same name. The game puts you in control of one of two brothers who have to take back their kingdom, Alurea, from a creepy clown and his monstrous gang. It's a straightforward, arcade-style adventure that fits right in with the Genesis library of fast-paced action games from that era.
You guide your chosen boy through horizontally scrolling stages, leaping over gaps and onto platforms while attacking enemies with a weapon. The core loop involves moving right, hitting foes, collecting items like coins or power-ups, and reaching the end of each level. There's no complex inventory or branching paths - just classic run-and-jump action with an emphasis on timing your attacks and avoiding hazards. Each stage culminates in a boss battle against the clown or one of his beastly lieutenants.
Today, Chiki Chiki Boys holds up as a simple, no-frills weekend playthrough for anyone curious about early Genesis action games. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but its tight controls and colorful sprite work make it a pleasant diversion. If you enjoy games like Decap Attack or The Adventures of Batman & Robin, this one scratches a similar itch. It's not a deep or lengthy title, but it's a charming slice of platforming history worth a look if you're already browsing the Genesis library.
How to Play Chiki Chiki Boys (USA, Europe) Online
Getting Started
When you first boot up the game, you'll see a title screen. Press Enter to reach the character select, where you pick one of the two brothers. Both play identically, so just choose whichever you like. After selecting, the first stage begins immediately. You start on the left side of a grassy level and need to move right.
Use Arrow Keys to move left or right, press X to jump over pits and onto platforms, and press S to swing your weapon at enemies. The game scrolls automatically as you progress, so keep moving forward. Collect coins and other items left by defeated foes to rack up points. Watch out for pits and enemy projectiles. Each stage has a boss at the end - usually the clown or one of his minions. Hit them enough times to clear the level.
If you get hit, you'll lose a life. When all lives are gone, it's game over. You can continue from a password or by starting over. There's no save feature, so either finish it in one sitting or use a password to resume. The controls are responsive, so timing jumps and attacks is the main challenge. Practice makes perfect, and the early stages are forgiving enough to let you get the hang of it.
