 Nezumi Man (Video Game)
comment
Nezumi Man is a homage to/parody of the classic NES Mega Man games, starring a rat who can run, slide, jump and shoot like the Blue Bomber himself. His goal is to stop the plans of Big Bad Dr. Gyoniku and his henchmen, along with seven other rat and ratlike characters. And a kangaroo whose name means "rabbit".The game is freeware packaged as a Windows executable as opposed to being a ROM hack. Nezumi Man has a lower difficulty compared to many other Mega-clones, especially once you learn the patterns of the bosses or figure out their weaknesses. Most of the surprise comes from the unique designs and wacky juxtapositions, though there are a handful of new gameplay challenges that wouldn't be out of place in a real Mega Man game.The original website for the game seems to be unavailable, but there is a mirror to download the game here. It includes a configuration executable and a HTML manual — written in Japanese, though at least it includes a good number of screenshots.

Unexpected Gameplay Change

comment
Unexpected Gameplay Change: Downplayed with the Special mode unlocked from completing the game — it's still a side-scrolling platformer, but the design resembles a different Capcom franchise. Namely, Ghosts 'n Goblins.

After Boss Recovery: If the player beats a stage with fewer than two extra lives, they'll refill to provide a couple of chances to tackle the next stage.

comment
You Dirty Rat!: Zig-zagged in that both the hero and most of the main antagonists are rats. But even the enemy rats have the same cute face as the player character. The exception would be Delay Nezumi, whose prison/dungeon motif comes across as the most grim of all the bosses.

comment
Respawning Enemies: Zig-zagged in that not all enemies automatically reappear when the player scrolls away and comes back. Sometimes, after Nezumi Man dies and respawns at a checkpoint, the player finds that destroyed enemies don't reappear. Good if you're worried about being swarmed, bad if you're in the habit of farming recovery items.
