I played all the way through and beat Bonk's Adventure Sunday night and really enjoyed doing so. I didn't even use any continues! (I had played through and beaten the game long ago.)
So, Monday night, I decided that I would do the same for Bonk's Revenge, but after using all of my continues, I could only get about halfway through the game.
I guess that I'll need to start it again and play through more slowly, getting as many extra lives as possible. (Although I had played Bonk's Revenge some many years ago, I've never beaten the game.)
