Aaagh! What's that Evil King drool doing back in the Dinosaur Kingdom?! Didn't Bonk get rid of him last time? Guess not, huh? Now it's up to our skull-splitting, head-butting, rock-smashing, monster-bashing prehistoric hero Bonk to put an end to Drool's dastardly deeds once and for all! Watch Bonk grown into huge fire-breathing Bonk or shrink into the Mini-Size Bonk and take on tons of cool new enemies like RocketMan, Robo Turtle and Crazy Lady. Or how about smashing up a few Booga Boogas or Snippies along the way. It's the ultimate bash-o-rama! Read less

It's crazy how much I was just absolutely enthralled by the first one, but I do see how the paltforming is a bit flawed and clunky. Not much has changed for the game besides the getting bigger part, which seems to exacerbate some of the collision mask weirdness and clunky controls. But I will give it an earnest shot, cuz I love the music and the first Bonk! I wanna bounce off some enemies!

Yeaaa for 93, these controls are unacceptable. Just claering the lava jumps on level 2 was so annoying. Now, I'm sure I'd adjust to it, but you know what, I always have the first one to replay when I want a relic of its time (and a great one at that), let's not sully it with the later 2.
