Pocky will spin, hurting all enemies surrounding her, and Rocky will become invulnerable upon turning into stone. Players receive points for good performance, and at certain score milestones, can gain additional lives.īoth characters have special attacks which are used when the short range attack button is held.
The game begins giving players a set number of lives that, upon depletion, will result in a game over. Each player has life of their own, and they must avoid being hit, or else they will lose a life. Most enemies take one or two hits to be taken down, and The first bossīosses are much tougher. Both characters also have a close up attack (Pocky uses a wand, Rocky his tail) which hurts enemies and rebounds projectile attacks. The characters shoot enemies and obstacles, Pocky with cards, and Rocky with leaves. The gameplay is a classic top-down shooter style, where players view their character from a bird's eye view, and control their movement and aim where they shoot. They eventually meet Black Mantle, who has been controlling these creatures, and defeats him, saving Japan and its people. Pocky and Rocky jump into action, setting off on a journey across Japan, taking on mythical Japanese monsters. She is visited at the shrine by Rocky the tanooki, and a number of insane nopino goblins, controlled by an unknown force.
Once upon a time in feudal Japan, Pocky is tending to the shrine at which she works on a dark, seemingly average night. The game had two sequels, Pocky & Rocky 2 on the SNES and Pocky & Rocky with Becky on the Gameboy Advance. The names of these two characters obviously inspired the game's title. The protagonists in Pocky & Rocky are a shinto shrine girl named Pocky (Sayo-chan in the original Japanese) and her good friend Rocky (Manuke), who is a tanooki, or raccoon dog. The game is the sequel to the Japan-only Arcade game KiKi KaiKai, which also saw a NES/Famicom spin-off. Pocky & Rocky was released in Japan in 1992 as Kiki Kaikai: Nazo no Kuro Manto ("Mysterious Ghost World: The Riddle of the Black Mantle") and globally as Pocky & Rocky one year later in 1993. Pocky & Rocky is an arcade style scrolling shooter with a top-down perspective for the Super Nintendo.
