Play Heisei Tensai Bakabon (Japan) Online
You play as Bakabon, a kid with a bowl cut, bouncing between bizarre mini-games—dodging radishes one minute, turning into a sumo wrestler the next, while your dad randomly morphs into a frog. The whole thing feels like a fever dream from 1990.
Heisei Tensai Bakabon came out on the NES in 1988, published by TOSE. It was one of those late 80s games based on a Japanese manga, so it had a niche feel even back then, not quite a mainstream title but something you’d stumble on if you were into quirky adaptations.
You control Bakabon, a boy with a bowl cut, through a series of disconnected mini-games. The goal is simply to complete each odd scenario, which might involve dodging falling radishes, turning into a sumo wrestler to push an opponent out of a ring, or watching your father randomly transform into a frog. The pacing is erratic, and the difficulty can spike without warning, making it feel unpredictable and a little absurd. Playing it is like flipping through a strange, interactive comic where you never know what will happen next.
