Toki (NES) Longplay

Toki is a run and gun platform game released in arcades in Japan in 1989 by TAD Corporation. It was published in North America by Fabtek. Designed by Akira Sakuma, the game has tongue-in-cheek humor mixed with the action. The player controls an enchanted ape who must battle hordes of jungle monsters with energy balls from his mouth.

GAMEPLAY
==============================================================
The player must traverse several levels with a miniboss at the end. Despite his apparent handicap, his slowness as an ape, and the fact that almost any attack can kill him, Toki is able to spit powerful shots that will help him in defeating enemies and obstacles that try to slow him down in his mission. There is a timer for each stage.
Toki can make use of items such as power-ups for his spit; lucky rabbit feet which can give Toki bursts of superhuman agility and jumping skill; clocks which add extra time to the countdown; fruit which can add to Toki's bonus points; keys which unlock bonus areas; a special helmet that protects him from upwards attacks (the helmet rather comically resembles an American football helmet); extra lives; and magic coins which when collected in abundance can obtain Toki an extra life.

Plot (From Manual)
==============================================================
So there I was, walking in the jungle with my girl, Miho. Man, she's beautiful. (By the way, I am - or was - Toki the Warrior.) Suddenly, I saw my worst enemy, Vookimedlo the Sorcerer, step out from behind a tree. With him was my second worst enemy, Bashtar, the invisible giant. I should say "nearly invisible giant," 'cause you can see his boots, gloves, and heart. Well, they attacked us. As Bashtar carried Miho off, Vookimedlo turned me into a little, helpless monkey. I was in despair, until the Spirit of the Jungle stepped in. The Spirit was really mad about the sneak attack, and so he gave me the ability to shoot fireballs from my mouth. (It feels like gargling.) Now, to win back Miho and my human form, I must go to the Golden Palace to beat Vookimedlo and Bashtar in a fair fight. But I'll do it, no matter what it takes. Come on along, it's going to be a wild ride!
