well, i guess that depends on how good you are at the game kaze, some people may need those smileys to keep them going. It also gives them alittle extra content, a little more to do. Would you prefer they left it out all together? Smileys are part of bonk.

Maybe some different balancing of the difficulty may have helped. I found the original Bonk's Adventure to be the most difficult, but still maybe a bit too easy once you've had some practice. The difficulty of the Bonk games feels a bit too kid-friendly. There's no feeling of do-or-die when experienced gamers play them. You just play them for the sake of playing through them, like playing Contra or Life Force with the 30 life code.

Well even though they are different games in a lot of ways, there are a lot of similarities to Bonk and Super Mario Bros. The power-ups, smashing enemies, bright, colorful graphics and the easy difficulty. I don't they were trying to rip off Mario per se, but let's face it, Bonk is their (very good) attempt at a fun, entertaining, character-based action platformer which needed to be kid friendly and easy to pick up and enjoy. If you are looking for extreme challenge it's not the place to find it.

My son and daughter liked the Bonks a lot, but I have never been a huge fan of them myself. Not that they are bad games, they are great games in general, but not really my type of game. What little I saw of Bonk 3 played on Magic Engine a few years back looked cool and all, but not anything I would go out of my way to buy.

i don't blame you, the fun of bonk is in mutiplayer. without it, its kinda generic. bonk 2 is better as a single player game. if you have two playrs though, bonk 3 is worth it.

I really enjoy multi-player games, and I've been keeping me eyes open for a reasonably priced copy of Bonk 3 to no avail so far.  Other than language, is there really any difference between the Japanese release and the U.S. release?  I have a region-modded Duo, so I have the ability to play any of the 4 versions released.

I love 3 I think it's the best one.  2 is my second favourite and 1 my third favourite.

Nothing of import - the only difference is the powered up Bonk sprites after he eats meat.
