Parachute

About

In Parachute, you steer a rowboat under a steady stream of parachuting characters. Your goal is to scoop up Toads, Yoshis, and Donkey Kong Jr. before they land. Each level ramps up the speed and adds new obstacles like spinning saws and bouncing mushrooms. Controls are simple, left, right, and a netting motion, but timing matters. Miss too many, and you’re back to the start. The charm lies in its straightforward fun. No complex rules, just quick reflexes and a bit of luck. Originally released in 1997, it fits the Game Boy’s portable spirit. Early Nintendo EAD work shows in the clean design. Catching every character requires practice. A short but punchy experience for players who like their challenges small and satisfying.
