About

You play a treasure hunter racing against time to collect gold in a maze filled with hazards. The goal is simple: avoid deadly traps like spike pits and bouncing rubber floors while dodging an aggressive sea urchin boss. Stun the villain with electric shocks to turn the tables and force him to reveal secret paths. The game balances quick reflexes with strategic planning as you navigate increasingly complex layouts. A single-player challenge mode or split-screen co-op lets you tackle levels alone or with a partner. The game’s charm lies in its mischievous design. Traps often disguise danger as safety, like the house that swallows you whole. The bonus round adds a speedrun-style twist, rewarding precise timing. Originally released in 1984, it later appeared as a Vs. arcade title and received a Japan-only home sequel. Though its graphics feel dated, the tense maze-running and optional multiplayer keep it brisk and replayable. A relic from Nintendo’s early puzzle-action era that still delivers satisfying chaos.
