Flying Hero Bugyuru no Daibouken Review [Gaming Through the Ages] (Super Famicom)

This is Gaming Through the Ages and today we’re taking a look at Flying Hero: Bugyuru no Daibouken or Bugyuru’s Big Adventure for the Super Famicom. (フライングヒーロー ぶぎゅるの大冒)険)
Flying Hero is a bright and colorful shoot em up game, a type of shooter which has gained the moniker cute-em-up in recent years due to the presentation.
In Flying Hero you play as spherical winged creature named Bugle, which at first glance I had assumed was a pachinko ball. The game is light on plot as the player’s guides Bugyuru through 8 stages or Acts in order to rescue his girlfriend who has been kidnapped by the Demon King.
Each Act features a mid-stage and final boss aside from the final act which is entirely a boss battle and each boss encounter has a tendency to show off some of the Super Famicom’s Mode 7 capabilities by adding effects and animation to the large boss sprites.
The player is given 3 lives, 3 continues, and 3 bombs upon starting the game. The speed of the game can be adjusted from slow to medium to fast with the push of the select button to suit different playstyles. Bugyuru starts with a standard straight shot, but can pick-up various powerups hidden in balloons. These include extra bombs, a cloud-looking projectile, lightning projectile, satellite Bugles to assist, and cakes. Should Bugle collect 3 cakes or a single large cake, his current projectile is upgraded to a more powerful version. This also acts as a shield, since Bugle’s weapon will be downgraded if he takes a hit instead the player losing a life. Continue to collect cakes after powering up Bugle’s current projectile to the max, and the player can earn extra lives.
While the music and sound effects can become tiresome, the game doesn’t overstay its welcome, taking about 30-40 minutes to complete depending on the speed setting. Flying Hero is a fairly accessible game with a medium difficulty compared to similar titles and I recommend it to newcomers to the genre wanting to try out an approachable shoot-em-up with a colorful and imaginative theme.
