Nangoku Shounen Papuwa-kun Super Nintendo
Brawler platformer game developed by Daft and published by Enix Corporation in 1994 for both the Game Boy and Super Famicom. It is based on the first arc of the Nangoku Shounen Papuwa-kun manga and anime.
Nangoku Shounen Papuwa-kun ("Southern Boy Papuwa") is a manga and anime about a young boy and his unusual friends on a tropical island. The player character is Shintaro, a member of the Genma army, as he runs across the island to find out where a bunch of invading monsters came from.
The game is a mix of brawling and platforming. Shintaro has a quick punch move and a charged-up beam attack, and fights various sub-bosses as he makes his way through levels. He'll occasionally meet characters from the manga as well, including Tanno and Itou, who are a transvestite fish and an effeminate pink snail respectively.
Both the Game Boy and Super Famicom versions were released on the same day by Enix Corporation, which also published the manga.
