Spanky's Quest is one of those SNES games that makes you go, "Wait, what?" You play as a monkey—Spanky—who fights sentient fruits and veggies by bouncing sports balls at them. Oh, and you get those balls by popping floating bubbles mid-jump. It's bizarre, but somehow it works.
The first few levels feel like a fever dream. You're hopping around, dodging angry apples and tomatoes while trying to line up bubble shots just right to spawn a baseball or basketball. Mess up the timing, and you're stuck with a useless volleyball that barely does damage. The controls take a second to click, but once they do, bouncing a perfect curveball into a melon's face is weirdly satisfying.
It's not the deepest game, but the sheer absurdity of it all sticks with you. That, and the fact that someone greenlit a monkey fighting produce with sports equipment. Classic SNES weirdness.
