Summary

Bonk's Revenge turns the classic side‑scrolling platformer into a prehistoric playground packed with quirky power‑ups and hidden routes. The core controls are simple—jump with I, head‑bonk with II, and combine them for a ground‑shaking slam that sends shockwaves through enemies. Holding II mid‑air makes Bonk spin and hover, letting you stretch jumps across treacherous gaps, while his big mouth can latch onto certain surfaces for vertical climbs.

Health is tracked by heart containers, and you can expand your stamina by finding blue hearts. Collecting meat not only restores health but also triggers transformations: a small piece cloaks you in a freezing cloud, while a larger chunk ignites you with fire‑breathing fury that incinerates foes on contact. The Game Boy version adds three distinct alter‑egos—Master Bonk, Hungry Bonk, and Stealth Bonk—each swapping outfits and abilities, from faster jumps to a chomping head‑butt and secret‑door access.

Scattered tulips launch you into a bonus arena where you duel Mechabonk in a best‑of‑three "bonk‑off"; winning grants an extra life, while losing turns you into a vulnerable Wounded Bonk. Smileys act as the series’ version of coins, feeding into password saves and bonus stages that reward extra lives and power‑ups.

Storyline

In Bonk's Revenge for the Game Boy, the big‑headed caveman Bonk sets out on a new adventure. His mission is to retrieve the missing half of the Moon, which the villainous King Drool III has stolen.
