Congo’s Caper is a vibrant 1993 action platformer for the SNES, developed by Data East as a spin-off to the Joe & Mac series. You play as Congo, a monkey who transforms into a human boy, setting out across prehistoric levels to rescue his kidnapped girlfriend. Rather than a traditional health bar, taking damage devolves Congo back into a monkey, and a second hit costs a life.
How to Play
Navigate the fast-paced platforming stages using your club to defeat dinosaurs and bosses. Collect rubies scattered throughout the levels to evolve and power up.
- Move: Arrow Keys
- Jump: Z
- Attack / Dash: X
- Start: Enter
- Select: Shift
Tips
- Super Congo: Collect three rubies while in human form to transform into Super Congo, granting you a massive jump height and increased speed.
- Slot Machines: Pick up three diamond icons to trigger the slot machine minigame at the end of a stage, which is the best way to earn extra lives.
- Rolling Attack: Press down while running on a slope to perform a rolling attack that clears enemies safely.
