Bonk can spin in the air to hover for longer. He can also grip some surfaces with his mouth to climb.
A flower seed grows a propeller flower on his head when he takes it. The flower lets him fly until he is hit.
Hearts and fruit restore health, and blue hearts add an extra container.
Meat transforms him. A small piece lets him freeze enemies with a cloud. A second piece, or a large one, makes him invincible and lets him breathe fire.
Grabbing one of the tulips carries Bonk to a bonus stage. There he fights Mechabonk, a RoboCop-like copy of himself, in a best-of-three match. Losing turns him into a weaker form. The game has a password system.
Bonk must recover half of the Moon, the home of Princess Za. King Drool III stole it. The stages range from outdoor areas to trains and space, and even underwater.
Red Company created the game for Hudson Soft, and NEC licensed it for North America.
