{{sub-stub}}'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''', known as '''''PC Genjin 2''''' (PC原人2) in Japan.
+
'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''', known as '''''PC Genjin 2''''' (PC原人2) in Japan, is a platform action game developed by [[Red]] for the [[PC Engine]] and [[TurboGrafx-16]], and a direct sequel to ''[[Bonk's Adventure]]''.
 +
 
 +
==Story==
 +
Evil King Drool III, grandson of the original King Drool from ''Bonk's Adventure'', is out for Bonk, and has captured the missing half of the moon. Bonk must defeat him and return the top half of the moon back to its rightful place.
 +
 
 +
==Gameplay==
 +
''Bonk's Revenge'' follows the same platform gameplay as its predecessor in which Bonk progresses between levels and fights enemies with his head. The controls are the same in that the D-Pad moves Bonk left and right, {{I}} makes Bonk jump, and {{II}} will make Bonk perform a headbutt on the ground, while {{II}} in mid-air makes Bonk peform a dive-bombing attack or spin in the air to slow his descent when pressed repeatedly. Walls can be climbed by jumping towards them and repeatedly pressing {{I}}. Bonk can power himself up with meat to increase his attack power and abilities in the same way as the previous game, however this time his third power level replaces his ground headbutt with a fire-breathing attack. When Bonk runs out of health, he can be revived on the spot by pressing {{Run}} after he falls unconscious, providing the player has extra lives remaining.
 +
 
 +
After defeating the boss at the end of a round, Bonk will be able to board the Monster Train if he has collected enough Smiley Faces, with the quality and length of the train increasing the more Smiley Faces Bonk has found. These trains are occupied by friendly dinosaurs that will reward Bonk with different bonus items depending on their colour, such as lives and extra hearts.
 +
 
 +
''Bonk's Revenge'' offers three difficulty modes which the player can choose from at the beginning of the game, each one giving the player different starting hearts but only allowing them to play up to a specific round, with the game ending and returning the player to the mode select screen, encouraging them to start again at a higher difficulty level. The available difficulty levels are as follows:
 +
 
 +
*'''Practice:''' Bonk starts with 8 hearts, and only the first round can be played.
 +
*'''Intermediate:''' Bonk starts with 5 hearts, and the game ends after the fourth round.
 +
*'''Expert:''' Bonk starts with 3 hearts, and the full game can be played.

Bonk's Revenge, known as PC Genjin 2 (PC原人2) in Japan, is a platform action game developed by Red for the PC Engine and TurboGrafx-16, and a direct sequel to Bonk's Adventure.

Story

Evil King Drool III, grandson of the original King Drool from Bonk's Adventure, is out for Bonk, and has captured the missing half of the moon. Bonk must defeat him and return the top half of the moon back to its rightful place.

Gameplay

Bonk's Revenge follows the same platform gameplay as its predecessor in which Bonk progresses between levels and fights enemies with his head. The controls are the same in that the D-Pad moves Bonk left and right, Ⅰ makes Bonk jump, and Ⅱ will make Bonk perform a headbutt on the ground, while Ⅱ in mid-air makes Bonk peform a dive-bombing attack or spin in the air to slow his descent when pressed repeatedly. Walls can be climbed by jumping towards them and repeatedly pressing Ⅰ. Bonk can power himself up with meat to increase his attack power and abilities in the same way as the previous game, however this time his third power level replaces his ground headbutt with a fire-breathing attack. When Bonk runs out of health, he can be revived on the spot by pressing  RUN  after he falls unconscious, providing the player has extra lives remaining.

After defeating the boss at the end of a round, Bonk will be able to board the Monster Train if he has collected enough Smiley Faces, with the quality and length of the train increasing the more Smiley Faces Bonk has found. These trains are occupied by friendly dinosaurs that will reward Bonk with different bonus items depending on their colour, such as lives and extra hearts.

Bonk's Revenge offers three difficulty modes which the player can choose from at the beginning of the game, each one giving the player different starting hearts but only allowing them to play up to a specific round, with the game ending and returning the player to the mode select screen, encouraging them to start again at a higher difficulty level. The available difficulty levels are as follows:

  • Practice: Bonk starts with 8 hearts, and only the first round can be played.
  • Intermediate: Bonk starts with 5 hearts, and the game ends after the fourth round.
  • Expert: Bonk starts with 3 hearts, and the full game can be played.
