The NewZealand Story, known in Japan as Kiwi Kraze, is a classic platformer developed by Taito and released for the Sega Genesis in 1991. You play as a kiwi bird, who must travel through levels, fighting enemies and collecting items, with a focus on platforming, action, and exploration. The game is a port of the 1988 arcade game of the same name, known for its colorful graphics and charming protagonist.
The gameplay involves navigating through levels, using a variety of weapons and abilities to defeat enemies, and collecting items to restore health and power-ups. A unique feature is the "kiwi" theme – you play as a kiwi bird, and the game is filled with New Zealand-themed elements and environments. The game also features a "collectible" system, where you can find hidden items and secrets throughout the levels.
The NewZealand Story is a beloved platformer on the Genesis, praised for its charming character, tight controls, and creative level design.
