🎮 Play Nitropunks – Might Heads (Japan) Online (SNES)

Released in 1993 by Irem, Nitropunks: Might Heads is a quirky 2D action-platformer for the Super Famicom that later reached the West as Rocky Rodent. You control a perpetually hungry creature tasked with rescuing a restaurant owner’s daughter from the mob, all in exchange for an unlimited meal. The core mechanic revolves around finding hairspray power-ups to give Rocky wild hairstyles, which act as your primary weapons and traversal tools.

How to Play

Guide your character through side-scrolling stages, defeating enemies and solving light platforming puzzles using your hair abilities. The default SNES browser controls map the D-pad to your Arrow Keys, the face buttons (A/B/X/Y) to Z, X, A, and S, the shoulder buttons (L/R) to Q and W, and Start/Select to Enter/Shift.

Gameplay Tips

• Utilise your hairdos: Each style has a specific purpose. For instance, you can use the braided hair to swing from hooks and the egg-shaped hair to generate temporary platforms.
• Protect your hair: Taking a hit will cause you to lose your current hairstyle, leaving you vulnerable with only a basic attack until you collect another hairspray item.
