Sonic blast man 2 snes box art1/9/2023 ![]() No, your adversaries won’t let you get away with that. You simply can’t walk in a straight line. The stages are set in a sort of three dimensional plane. Now this game requires a little bit of strategy if you want to make it all the way to the end. When you press the control pad left of right, all you get is Blastman walking as if he’s just taking a leisurely scroll in the park! Nevermind the lingering danger all around him! It’ll take some time, but you’ll get used to the lethargic gait of your character. There’s no run button, you can’t press the control pad in two rapid successions to dash or anything. When you step onto the first stage, the first thing you’ll notice is how sluggish Blastman moves. I wish they developed a better way of executing the controls of the bonus stages or just left them out altogether. My hand got fatigued quickly playing with these bonus stages. That isn’t quite as fun as putting on a glove and punching a designated hit pad would be, I imagine. You use the control pad to power up your punches on the console variant. They did incorporate the arcade iteration into the SNES version as special bonus stages after you complete a level. There wasn’t any beat-em up action in it. You donned a boxing glove and tried to punch the living daylights out of various objects such as a thug, truck, building, crab and meteor. Sonic Blastman was originally a unconventional arcade game. Now let’s see if Blastman has any hopes of competing with the champ, Streets of Rage 2. In any case, this beat-em up gives you 5 stages to complete before it’s all said and done. I wonder if this game was originally intended to be a Superman game, but a deal couldn’t be worked out? The similarities to Superman are quite striking really. He also has a knack for saving beautiful damsels in distress. All we know is that Sonic Blastman comes from another planet and dedicates a lot of his time to fighting crime. He has the ability to deliver 100 Megaton punches! We aren’t told much about the storyline. He looks okay here:īut translate that into real life and you’d probably get something close to this:ĭespite his goofy costume, this hero is bursting with power. ![]() The appearance of Sonic Blastman is a trip. And from there it gets stranger and stranger … When he strikes the bad guys, a random SMASH!! or BAGDOM!! will pop up like in a comic book. Similarly, we have a guy in Sonic Blastman that crudely dresses himself as a super hero as he cleans up the metropolitan area of crime. I was particularly fond of dressing up as the Red Ninja! Sonic Blastman reminds me of a simpler time when every kid on the block thought it was a good idea to slap together an ill put together super hero costume and parade around like an actual vigilante. Who would of thought playing a Super NES game in the present would conjure up those long forgotten memories once again. When I see images like these, I remember my childhood love for comic books and that old 1960’s Batman TV series I watched in syndication.
