Super Bonk
Description official description
The fourth game in the regular "Bonk" caveman series, Bonk is back on his first Super Nintendo outing.
In this side-scrolling platformer adventure, the gameplay is similar to Bonk 3. Super Bonk allows Bonk to travel through time from his prehistoric levels, the insides of a dinosaur, a version of modern Chinatown, and even the moon! Along the way, Bonk can find power-ups that can change his form to creatures such as a shooting Bonk crab, a dinosaur form called "Big Kronk", find candies that change his size from tiny to huge, travel through transportation tubes, and find multiple bonus levels.
Bonk still uses his head to smash his enemies, propeller seeds that allow Bonk to fly, and for the first time, can carry spring flowers on his head in his continuing battle against his arch nemesis, King Drool!

The best in the Bonk series, and the most surreal platformer Iv'e ever played.
The Good
Okay, there are three things I LOVE about Super Bonk, the graphics are not the best, but still amazing, the soundtrack is best described as incredible, and, the best part? The game play is the standard Bonk style, but it has so many surreal things, you'll be wondering if the game's developers were on a acid trip! Super Bonk takes a tried and true formula, and makes is one of the most unusual gaming experiences you will EVER play. And some people say simplicity is a bad thing....
The Bad
It's too easy. I flew through it in two hours. Adding on to that, there are too many bonus rounds. It's rare that you'll play for five minutes without hitting a bonus flower. Other than that, this is pure platforming bliss.
The Bottom Line
This is a classic formula, so screwed up (In a good way, of course) that it's undeniably one of the most surreal games of all time. Another thing I forgot to mention, the bonus rounds are a blast, even if there's too much of them.
Overall: Graphics:9/10 Sound:10/10 Gameplay:10/10 Fun Factor:9/10 Replay Value:9/10
THE VERDICT IS: 5 out of 5 Bonus Flowers.
The best game in the Bonk platformer series, and the 2nd most enjoyable platformer on the SNES.
