The American face of the series, Super Bonk is the Western name of Hudson's prehistoric B.C. Kid, the NTSC incarnation of its headbutting mascot. A late release and a modest American run make the complete copy, cardboard box and manual included, harder to assemble than it looks, with a graded seal staying coveted. Its desirability rests on the aura of the Bonk mascot on American soil and on genuine NTSC scarcity, beyond a simply colorful platformer.
Is Super Bonk still worth playing in 2026?
A Red Company and Hudson platformer, known as Super Bonk, Super B.C. Kid or Super Genjin, this title stars the little hard headed caveman who knocks out enemies with headbutts across colourful, inventive levels. The cartoon humour, the transformations and the level design ideas keep a definite charm. The slightly uneven pace and a jagged difficulty temper the whole. An endearing platformer for fans of offbeat 16 bit games and of the Bonk mascot.
