Ufouria - the Saga is a cult Metroidvania action-adventure game made by Sunsoft for the NES in 1991 under the title Hebereke. It was ported to Europe and Australia one year later (but not in the US), where it received slight modifications to graphics, text and plot, but keeping its distinctive Japanese-ness. On April 20th, 2023, it was announced that a remake is in production for modern consoles.Plot for the Western version: on a distant world, there live many strange creatures, including Bop-Louie and his friends Freeon-Leon, Shades and Gil. One day the friends fall down a crater, Bop-Louie climbs down there to save them, but faints and later finds himself in a weird world... Okay, it doesn't make much sense, but the original Japanese story isn't much better.See the Hebereke page for tropes specific to the Japanese game, as well as the rest of the series.

Death Throws: Bop-Louie falls outside the screen, eyes closed, when his energy drops to zero. Every character has his unique death animation: Freeon-Leon shrinks to nothing, Shades curls into a ball and Gil just stands there, looking at the player and drooling.

Cute Kitten: Freeon-Leon the dinosaur was originally O-chan, a cute kitten, or at least somebody dressed as one. At least two of the three key guardians are kittens. The third key guardian, the UFO boss, is probably an alien kitty.

comment
Face Fault: In the original Hebereke, Hebe initially leaves O-Chan, Sukezaemon, and Jennifer in his rocketship, ostensibly returning home, only to immediately return and say he was home all along (i.e. with his friends). This causes the three to Face Fault. This gag is unfortunately absent in the PAL English translation.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Ufouria (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: Not that the other Hebereke games (never released outside Japan) aren't weird, it's just that none of them is a Metroidvania action adventure game. They're all puzzle games and multi-player multi-event marathons. This is the only game where Hebe is noticeably faster than the other three characters. In the sequel, all four characters are roughly the same speed.

Meaningful Name: Freeon-Leon's default ability is to walk on ice without slipping, and his special ability is to freeze enemies with his icy breath and turn them into blocks to be used as platforms. (Freon is the gas used in refrigerators). Gil, of course, is a frog that can swim underwater. Shades not only wears Cool Shades, but looks like he might be a ghost (or a shade).

Zero-Effort Boss: One of the Key Guardians, a Knight, is already a fairly easy boss if you attack it with Shade's special attack. But then it cues its second phase—where it turns into a harmless cat that stands in place and cries. It won't even try to attack you as you stomp on its head.

 Ufouria (Video Game) / int_6ff1a0bd
comment
Minimalist Run: The only items you absolutely need to beat the game are the three keys, Bop-Louie's suction cup and Gil's bombs. Since this means never picking up any medicine to heal, and the crystals that replenish 2 HP each (and in a minimalist run, your max is 50) Randomly Drops from enemies and at a much lower rate than the throwing balls, this makes some of the later parts of the game tough, and a speedy kill of the diver boss impossible if you haven't gotten insanely lucky with your health drops.

Even without using the bug, Freeon-Leeon's Secret Weapon can easily be skipped by using Shades to bounce on the enemies hovering over the lava on the way to the knight, get hit by the last one, switch to Gil and use the Mercy Invincibility to get out of the lava before it starts sapping ten hit points per second.

comment
Joke Character: Gil is the most useless out of all the four characters. You only need him to get through underwater areas, and he is almost useless on land due to his slow speed and lousy jumping. Even underwater, he has terrible vertical jumping speed, making it very hard to for him to attack enemies with a stomp. On top of that, whereas the other characters get an attack with their secret weapons, Gil only gets a bomb that's used to blow up some obstructive blocks—it can't even be used to harm enemies.

Eye Pop: One of the weirdest things in the game is Shades' special ability. He uses the hammer he finds to whack his own head, after which his eyes pop out of the sockets and start floating around the screen, hitting and killing every enemy as if they were heat-seeking missiles! It's probably the most useful combat item in the game—Bop Louie and Freon Leon's attacks are limited, and Gil's bomb power-up is completely useless against enemies.

Anthropomorphic Shift: Played straight with Hebe/Bop-Louie, who went from a penguin in the Japanese original to a vaguely humanoid creature in the Western version. Averted with O-Chan/Freeon-Leon, who was changed from a cat to a dinosaur.

Invisible Monsters: In the second phase of the fight against the alien (one of the three bosses you need to defeat to find the keys to escape), he will turn invisible for a while after you hit him.

Walk, Don't Swim: Only Freon and Gil can swim, and only the latter can actually go underwater.

Blackout Basement: One of the areas preceding a Key Guardian is a pitch black cavern, where you have a find a very well hidden light switch just near its opening in order to progress.

Shout-Out: Some wall-crawling enemies have Mickey Mouse ears (they are called Mickeys in the Japanese instruction manual). The Anvil on Head example above of the 16 tonne weights.

Super Not-Drowning Skills: Even the characters who can't swim (Bop & Shades) won't drown in water.

Wake-Up Call Boss
 Ufouria (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f
comment
Wake-Up Call Boss: The UFO boss, the first of the three bosses you fight for a key. It's hitbox is smaller than the other bosses, it can do some nasty damage to you if you collide with it, and it's combo of spawning enemies while moving in an arc can make it frustrating. It also has a second phase, which isn't hard per se, but it's ability to turn invisible can give it a chance to land a cheap hit on you.

Railroading: As soon as you go left upon starting the game, you can find a closed off area with an arrow indicating you're supposed to go up it, but until you get Bop Louie's suction cups that let you climb the nearby wall, it's a dead end, forcing you to go right.

Sequence Breaking
 Ufouria (Video Game) / int_fb111d49
comment
Sequence Breaking: It's possible, albeit very difficult (think subpixel positioning and frame-perfect jumping, making it pretty much a TAS-only trick), to skip Shades entirely. By using the Good Bad Bug mentioned above, you can get a few (non-required, but making it useful for 100% Completion Speedruns) items that require Gil's bombs early, rather than backtrack to get them later. More useful is reaching the knight boss by bombing a wall before picking up the bombs, as that saves a detour later. Sadly, exploded brick walls return when you enter the character select screen - while this is no problems for vertical brick walls, as you can bomb it while stuck inside it, the horizontal screen of bricks you have to go through to reach the light switch is impossible to get past this way. Skipping Gil's bombs would otherwise have been the single biggest time-saver in the game, especially for a Minimalist Run that could instead spend ten seconds to pick up Shades' hammer. Even without using the bug, Freeon-Leeon's Secret Weapon can easily be skipped by using Shades to bounce on the enemies hovering over the lava on the way to the knight, get hit by the last one, switch to Gil and use the Mercy Invincibility to get out of the lava before it starts sapping ten hit points per second.
