Originally arriving in arcades as Capcom’s second-ever release before making its way to the NES in 1986, SonSon is a fast-paced, continuously scrolling action platformer based loosely on the classic tale Journey to the West. You control a monkey boy who automatically runs to the right, rapidly shooting projectiles and hopping between six tiers of platforms to survive waves of enemies on the long trek to the Buddha.
How to Play
Your goal is to survive each stage by jumping between the six levels to dodge incoming attackers and collect food for points. Use the arrow keys to navigate up, down, left, and right across the platforms. Press Z or X to fire your weapon, and use Enter (Start) to begin the journey.
Tips
- Grab the POW icons whenever they appear to instantly transform all visible enemies into fruit for massive bonus points.
- Try to stay near the middle of the screen; this gives you the most time to react to enemies spawning from both ahead of you and behind you.
