Player's Review
Game developed by Open Corp. (South Korea).
Koko Adventure was released simultaneously with Toto World 3.
In fact, both games were initially announced as ports of the same game, but were not quite the same even then. They still share a few assets, though, and some bosses and melodies will be very familiar when playing both games sequentially.
Koko Adventure is even more akin to Super Mario World, Koko and his sidekick can slide down slopes by pressing down, and destroy blocks with a spinning jump (which is also the only way to hurt enemies here). The stages are not quite as linear, anymore, as the heroes have to find a number of keys in each of them before they can open the door to the next level. The powerups revolve around expanding Koko's jumping abilities, first he learns a double jump, and he is even able to fly a bit with the second upgrade.
Innovation originally planned to bring the game to the US, together with The Dinosaur Dooley. Open provided a localized version for the North American market, in which the game was renamed Buzz & Waldog and Koko's girlfriend(?) replaced with the ugly Waldog. But like Daou's shoot 'em up / platformer hybrid, Buzz & Waldog was canceled. Fortunately, both games got restored and leaked to the public more recently, other than the Korean version, which remains a rarity.
World 1: 00:27
World 2: 09:15
World 3: 20:20
World 4: 29:35
World 5: 38:31
Final: 48:06
