Crowd cheering SFX are one of the best things to hear in games. I see Kaneko spared no expense in the silly budget, complete with ridiculous 2P "girl" player, and breakable party balls with footballs at the goals. I also really like that you stack the smileys on Bonk's head in this one! The Bonk series has some of the best slapstick and random humor in it, I swear. Yeah, this and "Air Zonk" are ones I'd pick up and play.
I loved it too. I liked the silly animations when the enemies eat your items, as much as it pisses me off when they do. And Air Zonk, what an amazing and weird game that one is. It's easily in my top 3 favorite shmups ever.
The company is well know for producing some weird and quirky games. A perfect example is "Saru Kani Hamu Zou;" a Breakout-style game where player 1 controls a guy in a crab costume using a hamster as a ball, and player 2 controls a girl in an elephant costume using a monkey as a ball.
Bonk needs more attention, man. Also for those looking to play this game themselves, they have a machine down in Galloping Ghost Arcade. The machine is custom built, though; the game’s so rare they could only find the motherboard.
And this isn't the only game he can take girl form in, I think Super Bonk 2 on SFC allows him to do the same, or maybe it's Super Bonk 1 that does. I can't remember honestly.
I've played lots of *_"Bonk"_* games in my day. Never played this version before. I hope this gets re-released to modern systems, so I can see what I missed out on.
I wouldn’t hold your breath. For starters, Kaneko made this game, but Konami owns Bonk and the other NEC characters, and also there are miniature Blues Brothers that can fall in for whatever reason.
I’ve been playing this game when I was at the final boss and when I was doing my coins a save myself just to beat the game. The game said coin error and I restarted my game and I just called out saying I beat the game because I’ve been, I’ve played all the levels say I’m never playing all that again just to see the ending so I searched on TH-cam and that’s what I did
unfortunately, even if this video game wasn't released everywhere, it has existed for a meaningful bonk franchise to be supposed to publish on an arcade game.
why the sport theme? All these people needed to do is to make stone age+dinosaur stuff and get a hit ... what a weak design; despite the good graphics, sound and presentation... also having those happy faces hovering on top of you doesn't make any sense to me nor do the short stage platform format
This is a creative workaround around Kaneko's limited music chip. Using the Toybox's sampling chip for all of the music.

Hey Alex! Speaking of shooters, do you plan to make a playthrough of Cho Ren Sha 68K someday? :)
@@KGRAMR I've never heard of it. I'll take a look.
Of course Kaneko would port this to the arcades, this game is totally their style.
What Style?.

I see Bonk's taking inspiration from the Street Fighter 1 intro. That's thinking ahead.

Remember playing this at Chuck E Cheese of all places. Hopefully we get an Arcade Archives release.
Same here .
I hope all the Bonk games get re-released in general.
In which town?
Bonk's move from consoles to the arcade makes for a pretty good platformer... but man is he ugly as a girl!
*Bam Bam has entered the chat*

2P is girl bonk? Looks like a shoujo manga parody... cute imo!
You'd still smash though. 😝
@@edwardgaines6561 Bonk Girl is best girl... She gives nothing but head!
If the female Bonk is not named Bonkette, I'm crying foul.
I've always assumed that that was her name
This Bonk Adventure game is also MTJ (Fukio Mitsuji, the creator of bubble bobble series)’s last game that he made
It had his design fingerprints all over it. Absolutely tons of interesting, fun ideas. This is better than Bonk deserved tbh lol.
@@nickholmes1721 And it has been cancelled by unknown reason…(Yea, I’m confused that too…)
Joe & Mac, eat your hearts out!
Loved this game growing uo

Last time I was this early, it was still "only two weeks to flatten muh curve"
Oooh nice, thanks! I haven't even heard about this one! Can you believe it?
Oh man, better get on that, caveman :)
He had emoji's before it was 😎 cool.. Lok
Having enemies able to eat items seems very clever.
Why can the final boss just drop when you finish the level
Awesome video.
Never knew that a arcade game version of bonk excited 😮
It had to maybe be a few years old I'm sure by the time I played 10-11 and that was 1992-1993 so prob came out 89-88
I can’t believe this got dumped! There are hardly any boards out there, and it’s definitely the type that the owners wouldn’t want the roms dumped.
Never knew there was an arcade version of this one.
Wow I was just playing Bonk lll the other day! 😂
Hahaha ok now the dog is just showing off. I remember this game being at the pizza hut my family would go to growing up.
Never got to see the ending...thanks👍🤘
0:30 King DROLL III..? Something seems off…
As well as Level 12 on the stage select…
Bonk 3 moment
Apparently, this never even released in Japan.
bonk looks like he has some severe case of emoticon head tumors who the hell thought that was a good idea throughout the entire game?
Uhh... John Merrick?
