The ruby also brought forth a demon-kid who prompty kidnaps Congette.
It will be up to the newly evolved Congo to travel across the jungles and rescue her.
Congo's Caper is a side-scrolling platform action game.
Being the second Tatakae Genshijin game, it is the sequel to Joe & Mac and controls very similar to that game.
Players move Congo to different locations on a map, each representing one level.
Controlling Congo, the player can move left, right, jump, duck, swim, climb ladders, roll down hills and swing his club to attack enemies.
If Congo is damaged or hit by enemies, he reverts to a monkey form.
Another hit as a monkey will kill him and use up one of his lives.
To return to human form, Congo can collect a ruby or if he collects rubies while already human he can turn into an invincible Super Congo for a short while.
Collecting 100 diamonds or 1 big diamond will give Congo and extra life while collecting sapphires will spin the slot machine (and possibilities of bonuses).
About Super Nintendo Entertainment System
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (1990/1991) is widely regarded as home to one of the strongest first-party libraries in gaming history, from Super Metroid to Chrono Trigger. It's a mature collecting market: iconic RPGs and late-cycle releases (which typically had smaller print runs as the industry moved toward the next generation) are consistently among the most sought-after and valuable cartridges from the 16-bit era.
Gamevaro tracks Congo's Caper for Super 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.
