Unlike most platformers, momentum is very important in Kid Kool.
He takes several steps to get up to full speed when running and cannot stop on a dime.
There is no air control, so how far he is able to jump depends entirely on how fast he was going when he left the ground.
Kool faces a variety of enemies.
They can be defeated by jumping on their heads.
The first jump drives them into the ground and the second eliminates them.
They also can be beaten with a furry companion that Kool can pick up by running fast enough past the appropriate spots.
He can be thrown with the B button, then retrieved by standing near him.
He also affords some protection as if Kool is hit while holding him, he will only lose his companion, not a life.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Kid Kool for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Kid Kool to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1988.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Kid Kool, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Entertainment System titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
