Description

"Kid Kool and the Quest for the Seven Wonder Herbs" is a platform video game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in 1990. Developed and published by Vic Tokai, the game stars a young protagonist named Kid Kool on a vibrant adventure to collect the seven wonder herbs needed to cure the ailing King of Wondrous Lands. Set across various levels, the game involves running, jumping, and hurling Kid Kool’s pet, Wicky, a small creature with special abilities, at enemies and obstacles. The game mechanics are noted for their challenging physics and the unique feature of a three-day time limit within the game world to complete the quest, adding pressure to the player’s journey through multiple environments.

"Kid Kool" is characterized by its bright, colorful graphics and upbeat soundtrack, typical of many NES platformers of its era. However, what sets it apart is its notoriously difficult control scheme and the momentum-based movement of the main character, which were subjects of both criticism and acclaim. The game shares similarities with other Vic Tokai games, such as "Psycho Fox" for the Sega Master System, suggesting that it may have been built from the same engine or inspired by similar game design. Although not achieving the iconic status of some of its contemporaries in the NES library, "Kid Kool" retains a cult following among retro gaming enthusiasts for its nostalgic appeal and its challenging, albeit sometimes frustrating, gameplay dynamics.
