This was one of my favorites from back in the day. An excellent action game that can be played with a friend, and one of the later entries in the Kiki Kai Kai (KaiKai) lineup, predated by the mid-eighties Arcade and MSX release and also the Famicom Disk System and PC Engine game. The game had a proper follow-up in the states for SNES as well (though it's significantly harder to find) simply titles Pocky & Rocky 2.

The series sort of ends with the GBA title "Pocky & Rocky With Becky" or "KiKi KaiKai Advance", but for those curious, a spiritual successor of sorts to the P&R games has been released not too long ago for Wii (it was originally part of the series, but was later cancelled, then picked up and heavily altered). It's also the only Wii game I own, even though I don't have a Wii. See info for it at:
