DESCRIPTION
Fifteen-year-old Mike Jones had no idea what a visit to C-Island to see his uncle, Dr. Steve Jones, would have in store for him. Upon his arrival, the island's chief informed him of his uncle's abduction by aliens! Now it's up to Mike to save him.
In StarTropics, take control of Mike as he fights and figures his way through eight levels of diverse environments such as tropical islands, outer space, and the belly of a whale. His primary weapon is his trusty yo-yo, but Mike will pick up special weapons such as slingshots and baseballs eventually upgrading to the Shooting Star and the powerful Supernova. Occasionally, Mike will break from the Legend of Zelda-like action, exploring new towns in hopes of finding clues leading to Dr. Jones and the climactic confrontation with Zoda, the alien leader.
Never has so much ridden on the shoulders of one young teenager. Save your uncle, the world, and the galaxy in StarTropics. ~ Christopher Michael Baker, All Game Guide

I have very fond memories of this game, even if I don't remember much about it now. I stand by my four stars just for how I feel when I hear the title.”

“Well I beat the first part of chapter 3. That flame boss took me a more than a few tries. Now I'm trying to do the next dungeon. I got so close to beating the boss but I only had half a heart left....”

“I had never played it before but had heard of it a long time ago, I didn't even know I had it here, but it was interesting, similar to Zelda.”

“The memorable characters and unique fantasy tropical setting are perfect for the puzzle-heavy, action-adventure gameplay. Clunky grid-based movement doesn't help the game's overly linear direction.”

“One of my all-time favorites, a criminally over-looked sci-fi adventure across a chain of tropical islands. Similar to Zelda in presentation, but with a style all it's own. Many memorable locations, puzzles and bosses, and top notch music.”
