Puss 'n Boots: Pero's Great Adventure Play Online 🪙 NES

Summary

Puss 'n Boots: Pero's Great Adventure tosses the heroic cat Pero into a frantic race against time after the villainous Count Gruemon cat‑apults him back through history. You’ve got exactly 80 days—each minute in real life counts as a day—to chase the stolen Time Machine across a globe that feels ripped from Jules Verne and classic anime. The clock can even be snatched away by certain items, shrinking your window and turning every misstep into a potential game‑over, no matter how many lives you have left.

The world‑tour stages are a quirky mash‑up: scorching Arabia, the endless Pacific, a London level that replaced the original England stage, a “space” flight that’s really a mountain‑crossing, the dusty American Old West, bustling New York City, and a finale atop the Statue of Liberty. Along the way you’ll hop boats, drive cars, and even float in balloons, but beware the infamous “death water” that kills instantly on contact.

Originally released in Japan as *Nagagutsu o Haita Neko* on November 21, 1986, the NES version hit the U.S. in June 1990 after Electro Brain showcased it at the 1990 Winter CES. Contemporary reviewers praised its kid‑friendly difficulty, though they noted the controls felt a bit clunky.

Storyline

Puss 'n Boots: Pero's Great Adventure follows the clever cat Pero, also called Perrault after the original author Charles Perrault. In the game he reprises the classic Puss in Boots role, using trickery to lift his impoverished master into wealth.

The adventure is loosely inspired by Jules Verne’s *Around the World in Eighty Days* and blends that story with a classic anime vibe. Players are given exactly eighty days to circumnavigate the globe, with a strict time limit driving the gameplay.

During the journey the cat visits a string of iconic locales: England and its famous Big Ben, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the deserts of Arabia, bustling Hong Kong, the icy reaches of Alaska and the North Pole, all woven into a single, fast‑paced quest.
