Cult Jump is a crossover trivia and adventure game released for the Game Boy in 1993 by Bandai. Exclusive to Japan, it challenges players to prove their knowledge of popular Weekly Shōnen Jump manga series from the era. Taking on the role of an avid magazine reader, you must answer questions correctly to defeat opponents and rescue the imprisoned King of the Jump World.
How to Play
To progress through the game’s castle, you must win trivia battles by answering questions based on various classic manga. The game uses standard Game Boy controls: navigate menus and highlight your answers with the D-pad, confirm your choice with the A button, and cancel or go back using the B button. If you are playing in a browser, these typically map to your arrow keys and the Z and X keys.
Tips
Because the game was only released in Japan, all text and trivia questions are entirely in Japanese. Having a translation tool or a walkthrough handy is highly recommended if you are not fluent in the language or deeply familiar with 90s Shōnen Jump lore.
