Platformer with a carpenter. Snappy stages, smooth gameplay, colorful Japanese mood. A small lesser-known pleasure.

Japan-exclusive, Ganbare! Daiku no Gen-san is the original version of Irem's hammer-wielding carpenter, an under-the-radar platformer that stayed on Super Famicom with no official localization, making it a prized import for fans of the studio and forgotten Japanese platformers. An intact SFC cardboard box and spine card carry the sought-after complete, with the loose cartridge staying accessible and a sealed example forming the real high line for the import collector.
