Punk Boy
■ Developer: BIT Corporation ■ Year: 1992
An absolutely shameless copy of the Mega Drive version of Mickey Mouse: Castle Of Illusion, right down to pressing the jump button twice to execute the bum attack, and even the cluster of sparks that pop up when you kill an enemy. The main differences are that instead of Mickey’s iconic ears, the protagonist has a messy hairdo, and unfortunately, they didn’t steal the stage designs from Castle Of Illusion, as Punk Boy’s stages are terrible.
