Bonk's Adventure, known as GB Genjin (GB原人, GB Caveman) in Japan, and B.C. Kid in Europe, is a platformer video game developed by Red Company and published by Hudson Soft and released on Game Boy in 1992. This game is a unique title in the series, only borrowing the gameplay mechanics from the original Bonk's Adventure for the TurboGrafx-16 and featuring its own unique set of levels and bosses.
Story[]
Japanese Version[]
Whether they are close or not, the battle between the two (PG Genjin and King Tamagodon III) has reached the GB. King Tamagodon III's WaruWaru Army brought in new comrades to win! They are burning their fighting spirit with the cavemen! Beware! GB Genjin! It's a super Bonk that breaks rocks to defeat King Tamagodon III and his gang!!
Western Version[]
The cave boy with the head of stone is back in this new chapter of his amazing adventures! Join Bonk as he travels through Dinosaur Land in search of the beautiful Moon Princess! But it looks like Bonk's old enemy King Drool is ready to take over! He's captured the princess and demands to rule Dinosaur Land. Now Bonk has to use his head (literally!), to blast King Drool's fools off of the map and bring peace back to the realm. Explore the wild world of our hard-headed kid and always keep an eye out for hidden items and bonus zones!
Gameplay[]
This game plays more or less the same as the original Bonk's Adventure, though his original transformations were changed into the new GB Gannin/Rockhead Bonk and GB Sakebinin/Screamer Bonk. Bonk can also turn into a turtle form, which works much like the crab form from Bonk's Revenge, allowing him to walk through narrow passages.
