I like superheroes a lot. The 16-bit era gave us one of the all time greatest flawed hero ever: Boogerman! Would you like to know more?



Who doesn't love humor in their video games?





The game is somehow more slimy than the box covers let on. Even the title screen has that snot aesthetic to it.



Boogerman has an overly long opening sequence that explains some storyline abuot how a janitor becomes Boogerman to fight an evil corporation. What are Boogermans powers you ask? Well this being a pick and flick adventure, most of your powers are of course bodily functions. In fact, ALL of you powers are a bodily function. Let me show you.



Boogers, your basic project. You can power this up with milk to hauk loogies at your enemies.



A small fart or burp, changes depending if you're crouched or standing, covers a close melee range area.



If you charge your fart or burp, your character appears to be in great pain and launches a fart out. Shown above is him powering up a fecal burst with the most painful look about him. He lets one fly out with the word "FART" in big bold letters.



You can also supercharge yourself with what I assume to be a hot pepper of some sort. It allows Boogerman to fly around the level, with fire from his bottom.



Fire, from his bottom.



You may have noticed those are toilets. Rather than warp pipes, why not just use a toilet to move around? I mean really. Mario uses pipes, Boogerman uses toilets. They take you to sewer levels that make me thankful this game isn't presented in smellovision. Something about these sewers just seems dirty. Another element worth noting is the sound. Boogerman yells out various things, such as "BOOGER!" All the sounds are appropriate in nature. You'll hear a fart sound almost constantly as most enemy deaths have farts.



Other than the body humor Boogerman is a fairly decent platformer. You can jump on enemies, level design is a bit too big in some of the later levels, and all the bosses are interesting enough to keep playing. I remember when I first saw this box at the rental place. I knew this was a game I had to play, just for the sillyness of a superhero whose power is related to boogers.



Not particularly a hard game, Boogerman can be finished relatively easily. If you're into gross out humor or want a non animal platformer, play some Boogerman. Anyone else play this deliciously goofy video game?



As far as I know, his only other appearance was in Clayfighter 63 1/3 and its rerelease Clayfighter: Sculptors Cut as a secret character. Can't really remember if he played well or not. Anyone remember his appearance there?

Fire from his bottom!
