Play Chiki Chiki Boys Online

Chiki Chiki Boys came out on the Sega Genesis in 1990, developed by Capcom. It was part of that early wave of console games where developers were really figuring out how to make colorful, fast-paced action games that felt distinct from the arcade originals. You got a lot of platformers and side-scrollers, and this one fit right in with its bright, cheerful look.

You control the twin elf princes, either alone or with a friend, and your goal is to rescue the princess by fighting through seven themed worlds. The main mechanics are pretty straightforward; you have a basic sword attack, and you collect coins from defeated enemies to buy temporary power-ups like a longer blade or a protective bubble between stages. The levels are short and screen-by-screen, so it's not a long, sprawling adventure, but the difficulty can spike pretty hard on some of the later bosses. It feels light and bouncy, a game that doesn't take itself too seriously but still asks for your full attention.
