Pocky & Rocky (Japanese: 奇々怪界, Kiki Kaikai, "Strange and Mysterious World") is a series of run-and-gun video games originally created by Taito. The game started with Kiki Kaikai for arcade, but the first game that received official international release was the SNES installment Pocky & Rocky, whose name has stuck since.The series features various adventures of a young Miko named Pocky (Sayo-Chan in Japan), who usually has to save the Seven Lucky Gods and the boat they were in. Joined by her fellow tanuki Rocky (Manuke), she must fight everything in her way, most of which consist of various odd Youkai. Due to its feudal Japan setting, Pocky doesn't use usual projectiles like typical run-and-gun protagonists and is instead equipped with rapid-fire Ofuda and a Gohei.The series consists of the following games: Kiki Kaikai (Arcade, 1986) The first installment in the series, this game was only released in Japan. It was re-released in Taito Legends 2 (all versions). Kiki Kaikai: Dotouhen (Famicom Disk System, 1987) A Reformulated Game of the arcade game, this remake introduces some open world, non-linear gameplay systems like In-Universe Game Clock. First game to feature Becky (Miki in Japan), a green version of Pocky. Pocky & Rocky (SNES, 1992) First game released in the west and first Co-op game of the series. This game was developed and published by Natsume. Pocky & Rocky 2 (SNES, 1994) This game features changeable sidekicks instead of two equal characters. Also developed and published by Natsume. Pocky & Rocky with Becky (GBA, 2001) Despite similarly titled name, this installment goes back to the roots by re-introducing the systems of the first game. Developed by Altron, but still published by Natsume in the US. Miki is renamed to Becky to keep the naming scheme. Pocky & Rocky Reshrined (Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Steam, 2022) A direct sequel to the SNES Pocky & Rocky, produced by Tengo Project, the same team in Natsume that developed the SNES games.The series also have a Spiritual Successor with Heavenly Guardian, which is the result of the developers losing the license after Taito was bought out by Square Enix.Pocky/Sayo-Chan herself appears in many other Taito games. She appears as a boss in the NES port of Rainbow Islands, as the designated Miko for any of the Taito-made Jinsei Game ports, a whole Pocky & Rocky-themed level set with a Pocky-form Rocky included in Bubble Symphony, as a selectable character in Pop N Pop and Space Invaders '95 and as a DLC character for Elevator Action Deluxe.Pocky was also an inspiration for various characters in medias, notably Sayo Yuuki from Castle of Shikigami and Reimu Hakurei from Touhou Project. The latter was closer in appearance in the early games of her series created by ZUN, who worked for Taito before becoming indie later (he derived his name from Taito's in-house music team Zuntata) and was a fan of Darius Gaiden. | |

Kid Hero: Despite being a really young and small child, Pocky/Sayo-Chan is also a courageous and heroic child who does not hesistate to protect the innocent and her home from any evil Youkai forces that'd dare threathen it. Reshrined further cements and confirms this status by showing that she is much smaller in size than Ame No Umzen and Hotaru Gozen, who inversely are much taller than her and Rocky/Manuke, in the character selection screen◊ and that Ame No Umzen cleary refers to Pocky/Sayo-Chan as a "child" in her introductory scene.◊ | |

Fusion Dance: The Magic in Pocky & Rocky 2 seems to be a Power Booster type, except for Scarecrow and Ottobot, whom Pocky just rides. In Reshrined, when Pocky is killed by Black Mantle and sent to the afterlife, Ame-no-Uzume teaches her how to possess others. Uzume offers her body to help Pocky escape the Underworld, and Pocky later assists Ikazuchi or Hotaru Gozen in the same way to fight through Black Mantle's airship fleet. | |

Nostalgia Level: Reshrined contains levels that are Call Backs to the first Pocky & Rocky game for the SNES. The first two levels of Reshrined are practically remakes of the first two levels from the SNES game, and the rest of the game contains sections almost straight out of the SNES game. | |

Meta Twist: Reshrined seems like a remake of the first SNES game, up until the end of the second stage when Black Mantle appears earlier on and kills Pocky. It's then revealed he used Time Travel to undo his first defeat, and the game diverges significantly from then on. | |

Nintendo Hard | |
Pocky & Rocky (Video Game) / int_62259825 | comment |
Nintendo Hard: The games have the typical high difficulty of the genre, but especially the original arcade: One-hit deaths, kicking you back instead of continuing right where you left off if you lose a life (most vexing when you die on a boss battle), and erratic AI patterns who often have projectiles of their own. Even worse, the first boss of the game is actually harder than the next few bosses. | |

Cultural Translation | |
Pocky & Rocky (Video Game) / int_7d49d74a | comment |
Cultural Translation: The youkai were renamed "Nopino Goblins" in the intro for Pocky & Rocky, while the Western Yokai Army is referred to collectively as "Gorgonzola Goblins". In Pocky & Rocky 2, all of the names were changed to Western ones. References to Japanese folklore are changed (Momotarou became "Captain Peach", for example), Pocky's Ofuda and Gohei are called "magic cards" and a "magic wand", and the kanji on said cards are replaced with hearts (though the giant kanji in Bomber Bob's throw attack was left intact). It's still a relatively minor example, as the hearts were the only visual change and everything still looks and feels very Japanese. | |

American Kirby Is Hardcore: Averted with the original Pocky & Rocky (though the box design was almost completely different from the in-game design). Sure enough, however, by 1994 the Western box art for Pocky & Rocky 2 has the characters looking less cute and much angrier. Given in the second game they had witnessed a princess get kidnapped at the festival by a gang of demons, Pocky and Rocky were determined to rescue her. | |

Tanuki | |
Pocky & Rocky (Video Game) / int_b556e777 | comment |
Tanuki: Rocky, of course. There is also a much meaner armored tanuki who serves as a miniboss in Pocky & Rocky 2. | |

Youkai: By the metric ton. The first game alone covers numerous youkais like Asian Fox Spirit, Karakasa, and Tanuki. | |

Pocky & Rocky (Video Game) / int_c313d43a | comment |
True Companions: Pocky, a young Shinto shrine maiden, and the tanuki Rocky, have been firm lifelong friends and prefer each other's company, over humans and youkai, respectively. | |

Raiju | |
Pocky & Rocky (Video Game) / int_c3acbc20 | comment |
Raijū: Ikazuchi, one of the three new playable characters in Reshrined, is a weasel-like creature who has weather based powers and primarily fights using lightning-based projectiles. Her character blurb in the game's character trailer even outright calls her a Raiju (or Thunder Beast in English). | |

Tengu | |
Pocky & Rocky (Video Game) / int_c3cacf06 | comment |
Tengu: The third level arcade boss is one. It's of the mountain monk variety, complete with leaves in its hands. Its main attack is blowing fire from its snout but if Pocky tries to circle around the creature, it uses its leaves to blast Pocky with air. Smaller tengu appear in the first SNES games as enemies, often circling Pocky before throwing wind gusts at her. In the second SNES game, Tengy is a friendly tengu who will join Pocky in rescuing Princess Luna and appears to be based on those seen in the previous game. He can fly over pits and throw leaf fans that will somewhat home in on enemies. The first boss of Pocky & Rocky with Becky is "Crow Tengu". He wields a staff instead of leaf fans. | |

Digital Bikini | |
Pocky & Rocky (Video Game) / int_c5d6ded3 | comment |
Digital Bikini: In the international console versions of Reshrined, Ame no Uzume's outfit was edited to cover up her originally quite prominent cleavage (though her gameplay sprite seems to remain as is). Her cutscene portrait◊ in the international console versions also covers her chest with her robe more than her Japanese one.◊ The Steam version uses her original Japanese design in all regions. | |

Spread Shot | |
Pocky & Rocky (Video Game) / int_d3c2c6b2 | comment |
Spread Shot: In Pocky & Rocky, collecting blue power-ups gives you an Initial Burst. In Pocky & Rocky 2, Sayo-Chan/Pocky's first power-up gives you a Spray Burst. In Pocky & Rocky with Becky, Initial Burst is Becky's power. | |

Dub Name Change | |
Pocky & Rocky (Video Game) / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: Everyone in the SNES games. Sayo-Chan becomes Pocky. Manuke becomes Rocky. The youkai become the Nopino Goblins. This was kept in later games like Reshrined, where while the three new playable characters, Ikazuchi, Ame no Uzume, and Hotaru Gozen, keep their Japanese names, Sayo-Chan and Manuke are still called Pocky and Rocky in the English version by virtue of the Grandfather Clause. | |

Clothing Damage | |
Pocky & Rocky (Video Game) / int_e61d9a3c | comment |
Clothing Damage: Pocky's health meter in Pocky & Rocky 2. Her clothes are tattered (but not to Fanservice levels) when she has one hit left, and she can collect armor and bunny ears for one extra hit each. If you're familiar with the health system of the first Ghosts 'n Goblins game made by Capcom, then you should know the full story. | |

Asian Fox Spirit: One of the original bosses in the arcade game, he uses his tails to smack away Pocky's shots and summons little foxes to chase her. He reappears in the second SNES game (localized as "Foxy") as a masked human, though he returns to his original form when close to defeat. | |
