Released for the Super Nintendo in 1994, Super Bonk is a platformer developed by Hudson. Depending on the region, you may also know it as Super B.C. Kid.
It landed about 3 years into the SNES's life. Other notable SNES releases from 1994 include Final Fantasy VI, Donkey Kong Country and Super Metroid.
It is part of the B.C. Kid series. The series also appears on other systems with Bonk's Adventure (TurboGrafx-16) and Bonk's Revenge (TurboGrafx-16). Hudson also made Super Adventure Island, Super Bomberman 3 and Super Bomberman 2 for the SNES.

What playing Super Bonk is like
Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.
Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
