Tetsuwan Atom (鉄腕アトム) is an action platformer video-game developed by Zamuse and published by Banpresto and released for Super Famicom on 1994 in Japan.
Story[]
The game is a retelling of the 1952 manga with artworks based in the 1980 series (Uran and Kid Atlas are pretty notifiable). In the story, Atom goes fighting several obstacles like evil robots and monsters.
Gameplay[]
Atom can charge his jets and fly temporary and even dash attacks while flying. As for upgrades is possible to get extra heart tanks in order to improve the chances of the player, but they'll be always reduced to 3 hearts once a continue is used. Atom cannot use built-weapons like finger laser or his rear machine gun, so the gameplay is rather difficult.
Between bosses, the player will deal with the Sphinx, Denkou, Atlas and Pluto who is the final boss of the game.
