Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
I always had a soft spot for this clown-based obstacle 'em up from Kemco. The graphics, animation and the attention to detail therein are simply wonderful, lending the game a real sense of charm.
It's also not the first time I've longplayed the game. My original play-through wasn't exactly ideal, chiefly because I used the 50 Hz PAL version and only covered the normal difficulty setting. This recording uses the 60 Hz version and includes the tougher difficulty level, including full end credits and a couple of other scenes exclusive to this particular mode.
As for the game itself, Kid Klown, all round dogsbody and lackey to one King Klown, must help rescue said royal highness's daughter, Princess Honey, who has been kidnapped by Blackjack, nefarious space pirate. Kid sets off in pursuit of Blackjack, who has paved the way with all manner of bombs, traps and other shenanigans to foil our hero's rescue attempts.
Each stage starts with Blackjack planting an enormous bomb at the end, trailing the fuse cord back to the start line. Kid must race against the fizzing fuse, collecting coins, power-ups and, more importantly, special ace symbols secreted in balloons found floating around the course. To get the best ending, Kid must collect all four aces on the first attempt, for which he'll be awarded a "Honey Heart". Earning all possible hearts will win the eternal love and affection of Princess Honey, should he manage to reach the end of the game.
There is, however, one final sting in the tail that players might not be expecting. Beating a stage will also reward Kid with a golden key, an item whose use only becomes apparent when all 5 stage are complete. Honey is cooped up in a cramped cell with a series of locks, only one of which will unlock the actual cage. Kid has 5 attempts to find the correct lock, with the others decreasing the timer on a final, explosive surprise left behind by Blackjack.
Kid Klown in Crazy Chase is a wonderfully slapstick caper that still looks gorgeous and is great fun to play - go check it out.
