Perman Part 2: Himitsu Kessha Madoodan o Taose! Nintendo

Paaman is originally a Japanese cartoon series where a small boy is given superpowers by Superman through various pieces of blue equipment. He takes the role of an apprentice and thus got his name, Paaman, as a play on words with a short or incomplete version of 'Su-paa-man' (due to different phonetic romanizations, Paaman is sometimes also written as Parman or Perman). Due to certain copyright issues, Superman's name in the franchise was later changed to Birdman, but his apprentice's name remained. Additionally, more helpers were chosen, such as an intelligent monkey wearing orange, a girl wearing pink and another boy wearing green. While they only made more or less prominent guest appearances in the first game, they are all playable in Paaman 2. (source: wikipedia)

Paaman 2 is an mix of different game elements. While the main part is 2D platforming, there are a lot of isometrically played parts and many mini-games waiting. You take control of Paaman or one of his companions and make your way through the stages in a jumping, flying and fighting manner in order to take down the evil Madou society. Good for you that the game's graphics are quite good (clear and colorful) and also the soundtrack is decent.

As the game is completely in Japanese and I, myself, don't speak or understand this language, I am of course not able to give you official English descriptions or translations. However, there exists a fan translation by 'King Mike' that allows those who emulate to play the game in English. It is from this translation that I will take many names and descriptions from, e.g. for items or for story parts. If you find some translation or name errors, you can of course tell me about them. It would be even more effective if you told them the fan translators directly.
