Growl (Runark) - Walkthrough for Gen
3Growl, known in Japan as Runark (ルナーク, Runāku), is a belt-scrolling beat-'em-up originally released for the arcades by Taito in 1990. Set in the early 20th century, the player controls a forest ranger who must protect the local wildlife from a group of evil poachers who are driving the animals to extinction. A home version was released for the Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) in November 1991.
The player begins the game by choosing from one of four different forest rangers (Gen, Burn, Khan, and Jack), each with a different amount of health, attack strength, and jumping height.
The player's special attacks can now be performed at any time, but now they drain a bit of the player's health. Instead of recovering health between stages, the player recovers his health by picking up apples hidden inside certain crates. The cavern stage was also redesigned completely.
