Sonic Blastman can punch, jump, and grab his enemies, too. As in any beat 'em up, the game consists of defeating the enemies on screen before continuing in the stage. The fight starts on a construction site in Earth and ends up in outer space. In this version Sonic Blastman must save the Earth from diverse kinds of evil forces, from street gangs and terrorists, to aliens and robots and finally, an evil clone of himself under the name of 'Heavy Blast Man'. A year later, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced that Taito had agreed to pay a fine of $50,000 ( United States dollar ) for failing to disclose these injuries.

In March 1995 Taito recalled Sonic Blastman machines after reports of players who sustained injuries by playing the game.

An asteroid is set to crash into Earth.

A giant crab is terrorizing a cruise ship.An armed group took control of a building that is now its center of operations.A baby carriage pushed in the middle of the freeway by accident, and a truck will soon run over it.Each level is progressive in terms of difficulty. Within each stage, there are fairly typical scenarios that most super heroes encounter. The player must wear the gloves and punch the pad strongly enough to deal damage. To hit the target, the game features a pair of gloves and a mechanical punch pad that rises when it is time to attack. Once they are depleted, they will be defeated. In order to win, each target has a set number of tons of resistance. This one is worth a play if you can track it down and in the end, it's a major improvement on the first game.The arcade version consists of hitting the enemies and targets. It's a little bit unique even if the gameplay is not, something this genre severely lacked before dying a slow painful death at the hands of 3-D gaming. 'Sonic Blast Man 2' joins a very crowded group of games on the SNES, but it does manage to stand out. The music on the other hand is great, very adventurous, especially the opening level (a theme that is repeated for the final stage). There's not a lot of, punch, behind these punches. Sound effects are standard fare and you won't really feel each hit. Flicker is completely non-existent, a major improvement. Animation is fair even if it won't win any awards. Enemy combatants are less detailed for the most part, but the bosses copy the style the game is going for just fine. That classic over-shaded look that so many SNES excelled at is present, showing off extreme color that's easy on the eyes. These are brutal especially Sonic Blast Man's himself.Įven though the size has changed, detail remains high. Of course the basic combo will take you though most of the game. A quick knock down move is available to all characters, and in a pleasant change of pace from other genre games, it doesn't require a sacrifice of health. Carried over from the first game, the megaton blasts are high-powered shots that require two button presses to pull off. To combat these cheap tactics, a decent array of moves is available. It's nearly impossible to hit them without causing damage to yourself while others hop around the screen to avoid being hit. Some of these foes are just flat-out cheap, including the exploding robot monkeys (sounds good on paper though). The enemy has shifted and it's now all alien cyborg types, a change from the drug addicts and groupies of the original. Co-op support, so desperately needed in the first game, has been added at the sacrifice of sprite size. The other two are new additions, solid fighters and completely usable. Our heroes are the usual set, ranging from the weak but quick girl to the hulking slow guy with little speed. It works on most levels, just be prepared for a few frustrating segments. The SNES only sequel abandons the original concept entirely, focusing solely on the beat-em-up aspect. The SNES version wasn't so much a port as it was an entirely different game, though it did have the arcade stages as mini-games. It started off as an arcade game that made players punch a pad to defeat various enemies. 'Sonic Blast Man' has an odd little history. Sonic Blast Man 2 - Digital Press Online Sonic Blast Man 2
