Pole no Daibouken (Pole's Big Adventure) is a 2009 Platform Game made by Sega and only available for WiiWare. With its 8-bit style, it jumps on the nostalgia wagon started by games such as Mega Man 9... but instead of celebrating the good ol' games of the past, it turns into a (not always) Affectionate Parody of them. Nothing is spared, from graphical glitches to bugs, from inane plots to the meaninglessness of Scoring Points.As mentioned above, the plot is very bare-bones: our hero Pole must save his girlfriend Sharon from the evil Poacher, and fight his way through 6 typical platform game settings. That's it, basically, but the main objective of the game is to find and enjoy the 100 weird and zany gags hidden into it. For example, Pole doesn't get hurt by falling from ledges, but there's a place where he can break his leg while jumping down, and he will start limping until the end of the stage; on occasion there are digitized photographs spliced into the 8-bit backgrounds; random background elements can kill Pole in gory fashion without notice... Anything can and does happen, it's all very Japanese in humour, and this is probably the point why Sega and Nintendo don't want to localize it.The promotional site , Japanese only of course. | |

Stealth Pun | |
| Pole no Daibouken (Video Game) / int_1e7c47ab | comment |
Stealth Pun: At the beginning of one level in stage 6, Pole is kidnapped by a flying saucer that picks him up with those cranes used to retrieve prizes in arcade machines. Those machines are called "UFO Catcher" in Japan, so Pole has been abducted by a literal UFO Catcher.* | |

A Winner Is You: Subverted. After beating the final boss, the game just shows "Congratulations", and redirects you to an alternate version of 1-1... only when you touch any of the fruits, the credits start. | |

Broken Aesop | |
| Pole no Daibouken (Video Game) / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: Pole supposedly fights the poachers not only to set Sharon free, but also to avenge all the animals they've killed... even if he's killing a lot of animals himself. This is all part of the gag though, to mock all those poorly thought-out plots of older games. | |

Stylistic Suck: Oh, where do we begin? There's glitches everywhere you go, the plot makes no sense, and anything can, and will, go. Of course, it does help this game is one long Boke and Tsukkomi Routine from beginning to end. | |

Bloody Hilarious: The more you hit the polar bear boss, the more he becomes bruised and bloodied. Some of the deaths Pole himself can receive fall on this, such as getting beheaded by a random background cactus or palm tree. | |

| Pole no Daibouken (Video Game) / int_637ef67 | comment |
New Game Plus: Playing the game from the start after beating it will start one of these, indicated by an "A" after the level number when you start a new one. There's a few changes exclusive to it, such as a few gags that can only be seen when you start it, and a few of the bosses become harder- with the Shiba Inu boss becoming much more so. | |

Take That! | |
| Pole no Daibouken (Video Game) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: Some gags are very obvious jabs at Mario. There are [?] blocks which if broken give Pole a mushroom, but the effects are quite unexpected... Pole can take one and it makes him grow so large that he fills the entire screen and then dies. Another mushroom gives him a Raging Stiffie (you read that right) that lasts the entire level, and so on. There are also some familiar pipes (this time they're grey) that, if Pole jumps in them, will... cover him in sewage waste. And this is a game released only for Nintendo WiiWare... Considering the developer of this game... | |

| Pole no Daibouken (Video Game) / int_eee69e44 | comment |
Boke and Tsukkomi Routine: This article at Hardcore Gaming 101 notes that the weird sense of humour of the game is based on this very Japanese comedy routine: the game plays the role of the dim-witted boke, and the unseen narrator is the tsukkomi, the straight man baffled by all the nonsense provided by the stupid companion. | |
