Game is mostly mentioned for its soundtrack by Tim and Geoff Follin (
it's pretty damn great), but the game itself is pretty fun too.
You're a goofy, brightly coloured executioner looking fellow who's looking for his flags (of his image) that have been taken down all around the island. That's it. You go around hoisting them back up and beat up everybody that gets in your way.
You can attack enemies by throwing your limbs. Throw all four too fast and you're bouncing around on your torso. Sometimes you temporarily need to lose one of your limbs to activate a switch, making it harder to spam attacks. There's also a bunch of wacky, but strong temporary powerups to find, from flamethrowers to boxing gloves (
with a bit of Rocky's theme snuck into the music).
In the first part of the game you're going from start to end in rather small levels, but once you return to the main land you have to find and take out these big blue fleas in every stage before you can hoist your flags. Altho these stages are bigger, it's not really one of those "where the fuck do I go" kind of games. An arrow points you towards the remaining fleas every so often in case you have no clue. There's also plenty of secret areas and warp zones to find if you search in every nook and cranny.
Game can get pretty hard at times (especially that first boss), but there's an easy mode that skips most of the bosses and makes every stage a whole lot easier. Easy mode stops the game before you can enter the final world and face the final boss though.
Sadly the game has never been rereleased on VC or any other platform as far as I know, so legit SNES is pretty much the only way to play it.
