Great game also. I remember it was a fairly big deal when it was brand new. Lots of poster marketing and magazine hype. Another failed mascot attempt these companies love to make every few years.
The game is very fast paced for an SNES game (though it can't touch stuff like Contra III or Axelay), I still play it now and then today. If I recall right it flopped pretty hard critically since it was dismissed as just another SNES/Genesis platformer. It was associated with stuff like ten billion generic SNES platformers that exist that have huge floaty jumps and tons of "gems" to collect everywhere. Dismissed as pedestrian and derivitive when it is in fact a pretty fun refinement of this type of game (especially for the SNES, which has a ton of horrid examples of this type of game).
Man I remember one of the old posters said what B.O.B. stands for, but I can't remember what it is.
