Summary
Ardy Lightfoot follows the anthropomorphic ferret Ardy and his shape‑shifting companion Pec as they hunt down the seven fragments of a shattered sacred rainbow. Each piece grants a single wish, and the evil King Visconti has already claimed one, sending out a parade of quirky foes—Beecroft, Catry, and others—to block Ardy’s progress. Pec’s ability to become a weapon, a hot‑air balloon, or a rock‑wall adds a playful twist to both combat and puzzle‑solving; when Ardy takes a hit, Pec dissolves into a chest that must be reclaimed, leaving Ardy to bounce on his tail or hide behind a transparent mirror for brief safety. Along the way, Ardy receives aid from an elder, Nina, and the mysterious Don Jacoby, while the game’s cartoony graphics and expansive levels showcase the SNES’s charm. Despite its vibrant design, the title is notorious for a steep difficulty curve, a point that divided reviewers at the time of its North American release.
Storyline
In Ardy Lightfoot, the sacred rainbow has been shattered into seven crystal pieces, and the hero Ardy must gather them all to earn a single wish. The villainous King Visconti already claims one shard and dispatches minions such as Beecroft, Catry, and many others to hunt the remaining fragments. Along his quest, Ardy receives help from an unnamed elder, a girl named Nina, and the enigmatic adventurer Don Jacoby. The game’s ending screen reads “To be continued,” yet no sequel ever materialized.
