Adventure Island (GameCube)

(Currently available in Japan only)While keeping the simple controls and action-oriented gameplay intact, this classic action platformer featuring the young game fan's hero of yore—Master Gamer Takahashi—has now been upgraded with 3D graphics. Higgins must wield a variety of weapons, master skateboarding skills, and fight his way through an action-packed island full of monsters and traps in order to save his girlfriend, Tina, who has been kidnapped by King Kiura. This revamped version also includes new features such as a "Harvesting Percentage" which calculates how much fruit the player was able to gather, and the "Challenge mode" where the goal is to get as far as possible in the game using only one life. Additionally, a Harvesting Percentage of 90% or more will net the player a "Hachi-suke"— Hudson's honey bee mascot— which will reap "Presents" such as vintage "Adventure Island" commercials, the button-mashing "Shooting Watch" game, and other extras.
