Circus Charlie (サーカス�ャーリー S�kasu Ch�rī) is an action arcade game published by Konami in 1984. The player controls a clown named Charlie in (depending on the versions) five or six different circus-themed minigames.In the game there are six regular stages (five in certain home ports) you can choose to play in your preferred order (plus an extra stage that is unlocked if various minigames are played) of differing tasks that are to be completed by Charlie. Grabbing money bags, performing dangerous tricks, avoiding enemies, completing stages, etc., earns Charlie points. After the sixth stage is completed, the game starts over again but with a faster pace and more difficult (but exactly the same in terms of task to be completed) levels.The game was ported to many home consoles and computers of its day, including MSX and Famicom. It is also available for the PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch as part of the Arcade Archives series. |

Endless Game: The game doesn't have an ending. Once the player beats the first five levels, they will play the sixth level over and over until they run out of lives. |

comment |
Springs, Springs Everywhere: The third stage from the arcade consists entirely on Charlie jumping thought trampolines. Jumping too many times in one trampoline sends him flying off the stage, costing a life. Horse riding stage has springboard that give points when bounced on. These give only a tiny bounce. Rope and trampoline stage has trampolines that launch the player in the air. |
