Nagagutsu wo Haita Neko: Sekai Isshuu 80 Nichi Daibouken is a side-scrolling action platformer released for the Famicom (NES) in 1986 by Toei Animation. Better known in the West as Puss ‘n Boots: Pero’s Great Adventure, this game follows the swashbuckling feline Pero as he attempts to travel around the world in 80 days to win a high-stakes wager. Players guide Pero through diverse global locales, mixing standard platforming combat with specialized vehicle stages where he pilots planes, submarines, and cars to reach his next destination.
How to play
Your goal is to guide Pero through each region before the 80-day time limit expires. Each time you lose a life, several days are subtracted from your remaining time, making careful platforming essential. Play in your browser using the default NES controls: Arrow keys to move (D-pad), Z and X to jump and attack (A and B buttons), Enter to Start, and Shift for Select.
Tips
- Watch the timer: The game’s 80-day limit functions as your overall lives system. Each time Pero dies, days are subtracted from the clock, so play carefully to preserve your time.
- Master the vehicles: Throughout the journey, Pero will pilot different vehicles like a submarine and an airplane, which temporarily changes the gameplay into a side-scrolling shoot ’em up.
- Use the terrain: In the platforming stages, you can often avoid difficult enemy encounters by jumping over them or taking alternative routes across elevated rooftops and platforms.
