Another NES game that was never released stateside. This game is very bizarre - you play as a baby with a magical rattle that causes enemies to become weightless and start floating away when you hit them with it. You can then jump on top of them and ride or you can smack into them and knock them away. This all takes place in a world consisting of nothing but cakes and candy. Oh yeah, you are crawling on the ground this whole time (you're a baby, remember?) but you are somehow able to jump like 10 feet in the air. Also, one of the powerups makes you stand upright and run around for a short time.
Weird.
The Wikipedia entry for "Story" really sums it up quite nicely:
"Upa is the prince of a magical kingdom and the most recent in a line of brave fighters. One day, though, he broke an urn containing the spirit of Zai, an incredibly evil goatish demon who takes the life force of the kingdom's adults and kidnaps all the babies - except for Upa, who is given a magical rattle by a fairy who was trapped in the urn along with Zai. And so, in order to save his kingdom, Upa crawls into action..."
