Mohawk & Headphone Jack

Rock music plays in the background as one or two players attempt to negotiate a treacherous series of platforms throughout the game's 14 levels. The game's likeness was based on Sonic the Hedgehog.

• Illustration — Gameplay screenshot The aim of each level is to collect enough CDs in order to open the exit to the next level. When the required number has been reached, the CD number in the bottom left-hand corner sounds an alert and begins flashing. At this point, the exit appears on the map as a flashing X (not to be confused with the player's current location). There are different coloured CDs worth different numbers of points, as well as large CDs that unlock different audio tracks (the final one being "Elephant Funk"). Every second level ends with a boss, and leads to a different world upon completion. Mohawk's health is represented by yellow triangles; each time he is hit by an enemy, the number goes down (maximum of five). However, spikes bring instant death. He can also collect floating balls (maximum of three) which allow him to explode, killing all enemies on screen. Mohawk can become a variety of forms, including wheelie, springs, angel and mer-hawk.
