Gameplay

The plot of Congo's Caper involves a half-human, half-monkey boy named Congo, who sets out on a quest to rescue his girlfriend after she is abducted by a demon. The player controls Congo. Congo's Caper is played across 35 levels that take place in multiple worlds, including a jungle, a mountain range, a pirate ship, a volcano, and a ghost town. The bosses include the demon, a T-Rex, a ninja, a pirate, a mad scientist, and a vampire. If Congo is hit by an enemy, he reverts to his monkey form. If Congo is hit again, the player loses a life.[3]

Reception

Nintendo Power praised the game's graphics, controls, password feature, and variety of levels, but wrote, "The game doesn't really do anything that Super Mario World and countless other games have done just as well."[2] AllGame rated Congo's Caper three and a half stars out of five.[3]
