Pokémon: Team Rocket
Also know as: Shuma Baobei - Huojian Bingtuan | 数码宝贝-火箭兵团 | Pokémon Team Rocket | Pokémon Ruby | Digimon - Team Rocket
Also known as Pokemon Ruby (although the subtitle of this version translates to "Team Rocket"), this is a platform game starring a very red Pikachu (and yes they made a "Sapphire" with a blue Pikachu too). Strangely, the game is permanently in some kind of debug mode; you can select a stage by pressing A or B on the stage intro screen, you have infinite lives and on touching an enemy you don't take damage but instead "collect" it as if it was one of the Pokeballs that litter the stages. Unfortunately this also applies to the bosses, and as the game doesn't register the boss as being beaten when you "collect" it, you just get stuck in the boss area forever and it's almost impossible to actually finish any level. You can deal regular damage to the bosses sometimes by jumping on them, but usually a jump still results in a "collect". The only way to damage them consistently is by using Pikachu's electric attack, but even with this maxed out you don't get enough hits to finish them off. If you actually do manage to beat the stage 8 boss, you'll get a blank green screen followed by a crash.
