Bikkuriman World is one of those weird, Japan-only NES games that makes you go, "Wait, what is this?" At first glance, it looks like a standard side-scroller—you run around punching enemies, collecting power-ups—but then the weirdness kicks in. The characters are all based on these popular sticker collectibles in Japan, so you've got these bizarre, colorful fighters with wild designs.
Combat feels clunky at first (this is an NES game), but there's something oddly satisfying about landing a hit and watching enemies explode into little stars. The stages are short and chaotic, with some unexpected gimmicks—like suddenly riding a skateboard or getting launched into a weird mini-game. It’s not deep, but it’s got that early '90s Japanese charm where everything feels just a little off in the best way.
If you're into obscure retro stuff, this one’s a fun curiosity. Just don’t expect a masterpiece.
