These well-rounded spokes-spots for 7-Up are now starring in their very own Genesis game. An evil nasty has kidnapped an entire horde of Cool Spots. You take charge of the sole survivor and guide him on his search for his comrades through a strange, larger-than-life world -- ours!
Download this game, and the first thing you're gonna notice is the enchanting personality of the Spots, which is captured effectively through a range of these little guys' different animations. They surf on 7-Up bottles, yawn or play with a yo-yo when they're bored, leap and flip across the screen, clean their glasses, and warble in excited little squeaky voices.
The backgrounds in each level are equally well-done, although with minimal animation. Once Cool Spot's looks pull you in, you'll find the game play simple to learn, but somewhat uneven.
The Spots can run, jump, and fire bubbles at their foes. Although the controls are easy to learn and generally straightforward, it's often tough to get the little guys to jump with precision and fire their bubbles in diagonal directions.
This can get very un-cool, especially when you're trying to leap from bubble to bubble in Level 4's Wading Around, or trying to fire at buzzing bees in Level 2's Pier Pressure. In each of the game's 11 levels, the Spots are hoppin' and boppin' through a different landscape. Spot will travel from the seashore complete with happenin' Rastafarian tunes , to the pier, to between the walls, to a wading pool, to a toy train in a toy room, to a strange hi- tech laboratory.
Each level features a human-size terrain that a quarter-size Spot must negotiate. Scads of uncool enemies with a humorous attitude hang out in each of the different levels. Hermit crabs crawl across the sandy beach and sport polka-dotted boxer shorts after you blast 'em. Mice in pinstriped nightshirts fling hunks of cheese at you between the walls.
The aim of each level is simple: Collect enough Spots to open the cage and release your Cool Spot buddy. However, if Spot jams his way through the easier, early levels, he won't have enough lives built up to cover his To build up lives, Spot's got to collect Spots and other power-ups, such as 7-Ups, which give you seven spots. Once Cool's racked up enough points, he can earn 1-ups and enter the six different Bonus Rounds.
One particular power-up keeps Spot in the pink. Guess what the little guy likes to drink? No big surprise! A tall frosty glass occasionally appears when Spot implodes an enemy. Spot starts off easy and gets tougher around Level 4's Wading Around.
Adjustable challenge makes the cool guys refreshing for anyone -- beginning to advanced gamers. Changing the difficulty setting adds new and tougher enemies to each level. Plus, it'll put the Cool Spot prisoner in a harder-to-reach location.
Although Cool Spot doesn't pack the all-around, in-depth, complex game play found in Sonic The Hedgehog or Super Mario , it's got enough going for it to guarantee the little guys a decent following in the video game world. Worst case, you're gonna have an insatiable craving for a glass of 7-Up! If, like me, you realised long ago that adverts are the only things worth watching on tv these days, then you probably need no introduction to Cool Spot.
If, on the other hand, you are one of those unenlightened souls who still watches the programmes that television companies insist on interrupting the adverts with, then I'd better explain that Cool Spot is not, in fact, a suave and sophisticated zit, and introduce him, her or it, as the star of the media campaign for 7-Up. Cool Spot also enjoyed a considerable amount of attention last summer when he she or it became the rather unlikely protagonist of one of the best games to appear on the Sega Mega Drive.
Now the little chappie chapesse or, er In the time-honoured tradition of character licensing this is, of course, a platform game. The objective of the scarlet pimple-nell is simply to fight his way through a series of two-dimensional scenes to find and rescue a fellow spot who has been incarcerated in a cage.
This task is made more difficult than it sounds on two counts. Firstly, our hero heroine, or urn These spots, you understand, while most certainly red, are of the inanimate variety. Secondly, he has to fight off a variety of malign beasties who prefer their environment to be spotless sorry about that! The levels range from the shore, on which Cool Spot is beset by a motley selection of shellfish, to a steam train going full-pelt, complete with gun-toting bandits.
Cool Spot dispatches these creatures by firing a stream of bubbles at them and for those of you with overactive and scatalogical imaginations; a don't be so disgusting, and b you're totally wrong. The bubbles can be aimed in any direction, a fact which you miss at your peril, since you will soon find yourself in situations where enemies have to be destroyed from odd angles, or even when they are just out of sight off the edge of the screen.
The reason being that many of the little sods fire projectiles back or drop bombs on you, so half the trick is finding a location where you can attack them without fear of reprisal. Even in the throes of death many of the enemies find ways of getting their own back at you by exploding or making a last mad dash in your direction. Beyond the extremely abstract nature of its protagonist, it has to be said that Coo!
Spot doesn't really offer anything you haven't already seen if you've played the likes of Robocod, Trolls or Zoo! You can make the spot spin, roll, do somersaults and a host of other ridiculously energetic activities that will have any self-respecting couch potato feeling quite ill. Leave it alone and the bloody thing still insists on fidgiting all over the place, clicking its fingers and messing with its sunglasses.
The level designs are, on the whole, pretty uninspired, although there are two which merit particular attention. One is composed entirely of slides and air tubes and has you alternately sliding rapidly from the top to the bottom of the level and riding back up to the top on a current of air only to slip all the way back down again.
That is until you get the knack of defeating gravity and jumping back up the slides, an exercise that is somewhat akin to running the wrong way up a down-moving escalator. The only other level that has a real spark of originality is the steam train, which is superbly done in mock Western style.
On each level you must collect a particular percentage of the available bonus spots before you are allowed to shoot the lock of the cage and free your not so cool buddy. Relief from the normal run of events is to be had, however, if you manage to collect a higher percentage of spots. In the latter case, before you are cruelly thrust into the next mad world, you find yourself running the gauntlet of the bonus level which is k set, wait for it, in a kV 7-Up can.
The Wk objective here being to collect yourself a nice, fat bonus score by collecting even more bonus I spots. This is where some of the acrobatic skills you gained in the normal levels really come in handy, because to reach most of the spots you have to jump between balloons, which involves leaping from one and trying to grasp the string of another in mid-air, or by riding in bubbles which take you only a short distance before bursting.
A badly timed move at this stage will send you plummeting to the bottom of the can. Fortunately though, the end result is not bits of dead Cool Spot floating around in your 7-Up, since our hero is more flexible than Access and simply flops around pathetically, pretending to do the dying-fly for a while when he hits the deck.
I can't help coming away from Cool Spot with the overall impression that it's all show and very little substance.
