Kid Klown in Crazy Chase

Players view gameplay from an isometric perspective as Kid Klown pursues a lit fuse in order to stop it from reaching a spade bomb. The game was re-released for the Game Boy Advance as Crazy Chase and features 11 new levels and four mini-games. The re-release was released in Europe and North America in October 2002, while a release in Japan was planned but ultimately canceled. It was met with mixed reception from critics, who found it to be inferior to other games of its type. The game has a Japan-exclusive sequel Kid Klown in Crazy Chase 2: Love Love Hani Soudatsusen (Japanese: キッドクラウンのクレイジーチェイス2 〜ラヴ・ラヴ・ハニー争奪戦〜) released for the Sony PlayStation in 1996.

• Illustration — Gameplay of Kid Klown in Crazy Chase Players control the player character Kid Klown as he attempts to rescue Princess Honey from the villain Black Jack (Dirty Joe in the Japan SNES version and in the Game Boy Advance version). The game's graphics are presented in an isometric view as Kid Klown automatically moves down a path to thwart Black Jack's plans of blowing up one of his spade bombs in each level. Various obstacles cause Kid Klown to slow down if they collide with him; if Kid Klown does not make it to the bomb in time or if he is hit too many times, the level is lost. The game consists of 5 stages. In each stage, Kid Klown must find all 4 card suit orbs and stop the bomb to complete the level. At the end of each stage Kid Klown gets a key which in turn at the ending could be of use to unlock Honey's cage. If the player gets all 4 orbs in the very first turn, Kid Klown also gets a Honey heart. After the fifth stage, Kid Klown must find the correct lock out of the 10 locks to unlock Honey's cage. There are 3 endings to the game: • Good Ending: The player has collected all five Honey hearts and saved Honey from the cage without using a continue. • Average Ending: The player saved Honey, but did not get all five Honey hearts, or did find all five but used a continue. • Bad Ending: The player failed to save Honey. In the Game Boy Advance re-release, the developers added 11 new levels and four unlockable mini-games.
