Game description:

Circus Caper is a 1990 action-platformer for the NES where you play as Tim, a young boy on a quest to rescue his kidnapped sister Judy from Mr. Magic. Navigate through various circus-themed stages, battling clowns and dodging hazardous obstacles while collecting new weapons like yo-yos and soccer balls.

How to Play

Guide Tim to the end of each stage and defeat the boss to progress. Move using the Arrow Keys, jump with Z, and attack with X. Press Enter for Start and Shift for Select.

Tips

Play the mini-games between stages carefully, as they are a great way to stock up on extra lives and health.
Switch weapons strategically depending on the enemies you face; bosses are often easier to defeat with ranged attacks like the soccer ball.
