I remember playing this game when I was 4 years old,when I was introduced to the world of games. This game was one of my favorites. This game boasts 550 levels of puzzle/adventure action. You control this cute chinese girl named La La and you roll 4 diff colored balls in to their own colored pads. Think Its easy Chew Man Fu's evil hentchmen are out to get you. During your quest to save china from starving you can kick pull and push the 4 balls to either destroy walls ( find Items), enemies and beat levels.EACH BALL HAS ITS OWN POWER BLACK: DESTROYS THE WALLS THE FASTEST, RED BALL: KILLS ENEMIES THE FASTEST THE BLUE BALL IS THE BALL THAT MOVES THE FASTEST WHEN YOU KICK IT(BAD TO USE AGAINST WALLS TAKES TO LONG THE BLUE BALL) GREEN: HAS NO POWER ITS NORMAL . You get a 1min timer to clear the level and find items before it runs out she is quick so you have to work fast or else you will be chased down by enemies that will change into fire Certain items change ball color so be care full it will drain time by making you wait for a couple of seconds which those seconds could be crucial towards you finishing the level. There are energy gold packs that allow you to take one hit from an enemy. There are also foods that lure enemies to a certain spots allowing you to finish the level with out them coming around you they do dissapear after a while (RICE, SOUP TO LURE ENEMIES) This game lets you play 1or 2 players. Her Twin sister Ling Ling can also help in a co-op adventure mode. There is also a kick ball mode which allows you and a partner to go at It. An edit mode to create your own level and lastly a password in case you don't have a memory ram for tg16. During the game if you get 30 diamonds you can play special bonus rounds for 1ups. Wether your breaking walls to find 1ups or running to grab 1ups qucikly and avoiding enemies.If you are playing with a friend (2players) if you both save up diamonds until you get 30 or more you will both be able to participate at the same time getting 1ups in the bonus rds. (dont be greedy work together) There are enemies that freeze balls in the ice level and many that pick up the balls so be care full. Some levels seem impossible to beat with out a partner.(BUT IVE MASTERED THE WHOLE GAME WITH OUT ONE ITS HARD BUT ITS FUN) IF YOUVE DONE THAT TRY TO BEAT IT WITH THE GOLDEN BALLS CHEAT ALL BALLS ARE GOLDEN AND YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHICH ONE IS WHICH BY PLACING THE BALLS ON THE PLATFORM I recommend this game to anyone who has tg16. This game and systemwas way head of its time and Hudson soft made a great impression on the system and the players of this system. If you dont have get it you wont be sorry its awesome. Also there is a Wizard that talks wise advice that you'll need to use to conquer levels in the game.
