Based on the comic and short-lived cartoon about a green space rabbit fighting the Toad Empire, Konami's 1992 Bucky O'Hare is often described as Mega Man with a crew. Captain Bucky's teammates have been captured on four planets, green, red, blue and yellow, which can be visited in nearly any order. Rescuing each one adds that character to the roster.
Each crewmate has a special ability: Jenny fires an energy orb, Blinky blasts ice with bombs and flies with a jetpack, Dead-Eye climbs walls, and Willy shoots a powerful beam through several enemies. Bucky himself has a long jump. Special moves are powered by collected icons and grow stronger when the button is held longer. Planets are divided into many short sections that alternate scrolling directions, with bosses spread throughout. Once the crew is reunited, the final mission takes place on the Toads' Magma Tanker. Unlimited continues soften the difficulty, and the game was directed by Masato Maegawa, who later founded Treasure.
Tips for Bucky O'Hare
Rescue Blinky on the Green Planet early; his bombs break the ice blocks on the Blue Planet.
Use Dead-Eye to climb walls and reach items that other characters cannot.
Switch characters to suit each section rather than staying with Bucky.
