Bonk has returned and it's just the way you've always loved him. It's 10,000 B.C. and the lizardous "King Drool" has Princess Za in his evil clutches! Join Bonk as he journeys through five sprawling levels of the prehistoric past to rescue the princess. Bonk will literally have to use his head to propel himself up cliff sides, out-think boss characters, solve puzzles, and best of all smash enemies and objects!

Bonk's Adventure was originally released in 1990 for the TurboGrafx-16 system and won Game of the Year honors, as well as many other accolades. With the introduction of the Nintendo Wii's™ Virtual Console™, Hudson is pleased to announce Bonk's Adventure as the first title available under the TurboGrafx-16 library. A new generation of fans will enjoy the comedic gameplay elements that made Bonk's Adventure so unique, while fans of the original will once again be able to relive Bonk's exploits.

Headbutt your way to victory!

An old-school side-scrolling action game. Gameplay is simple: just headbutt your enemies as you progress through each stage! You receive damage when you get hit by an enemy or when you touch something hazardous. Try to keep Bonk from losing any lives. Chow down on meat you find along the way to power up Bonk by 2 levels. Headbutt the ground after Bonk has transformed to unleash a powerful explosion—the earth will tremble and your enemies will be stunned! That's Bonk power! The power of his mighty, rock-hard head! The game is loaded with bonus games and hidden stages. And, just like any great action game, there are big boss battles.
