![]() The four new ones have their own special abilities when you use the magic option. There are four new ones you can find besides the three you start out with. It may take you some replays to find all the partners. If you pick the right one, you find a new partner to team up with. This game does have some replay because on some stages, you pick a path to take. The settings aren't too different, except for the fact that enemies may be a little faster and shoot more. Like the original game, this game has an easy, medium, and hard difficulty setting. The stage after that(which is the last stage) is not nearly as hard. The hardest stage is 8, that is what held me up the longest. This game is fairly challenging, and took me awhile to beat. Its a good fantasy setting/shooter/action type game. In stage 8, you have to ride on top of a dragon, who dodges slowly, while fending off like 20 enemies on the screen at once. This game isn't too hard, except for stage 8, which is impossible. However, they removed the slide feature from the original Pocky and Rocky, which was handy to use against bosses. For example, Rocky can locate all items on the screen, Bomber Bob can lift boulders that might have something underneath them, and Little Ninja can pick locks. This makes Pocky and her partner one body, and you can now use your partner's special abilites. They added the throw feauture, which I talked about, and there is also a magic feature. However, this is a fairly fun game in the one-player mode. The second player will only disappear temporarily when hit enough times, and can come back as long as Pocky is still alive. When she runs out of armor and takes another hit, she loses a life. When you throw a partner, it makes an interesting effect, but it doesn't make up for second player not being able to do anything. So Pocky will just launch her partner at the boss, and second player is out until that boss is beaten. The second player will also not see much action against stage endbosses, because the throw partner option is the handies way to beat them. First of all, in stages 1(which you have the option of skipping), 5, and 8 only the first-player(Pocky) is allowed in those stages. This is a pretty fun game to play in the one-player mode, but is not a very good two-player game. There are many other sound effects which fit what is going on well. You can hear Pocky say "magic" in a cute voice when she does the magic option with her partner. However, I think the music sounds dorky when you rescue Captain Peach. The music fits the theme for most situations. I especially like the opening title music, the stage three music, and the music for the last stage. The music for this game is pretty good too. Outside of that, this game is a visual treat. The game does seem to slow down for a second when you use the throw option or the magic option though. The game has some neat special effects to, especially when you use the throw option with your partners. All of the characters are fairly well detailed, and the game did a good job of using different colors and shades. The graphics in this game are pretty good. Pocky springs into action with her friends, but they will have to face Zynagon's minions along the way. It sesems a character named Zynagon is intent on marrying the princess, by force if neccesary. During the fall Harvest Festival, princess Luna is kidnapped by a character named Impy.
