Moeru! Onīsan
Description
The Kokuhō are in big trouble! The daughter of the family was put up as a collateral on the gambling table, which they lost. The dealer Dra Gon then kidnaps Yukie, prompting a posse of Ken'ichi, Rocky, Hidō and Shiranui to go get her back.
Your first interaction with the game begins on the gambling table, during which you must "lose" in order to begin the game proper. The actual game is a side-scrolling platformer with power-ups being represented as word bubbles and health pickups represented as food items. You alternate between the 4 playable characters between stages. There are mandatory mini-games inbetween these stages. For the final battle against Dra Gon, all 4 playable characters come together for a RPG-like fight.
