Umihara Kawase

Unlike most platformers super hero style jumps aren't possible here - instead a trusty fishing rod is used to latch onto platforms and guide our schoolgirl heroine around. It is also used to catch fish adversaries in an imaginative twist that can then be stashed in her backpack if so desired. A shining example of a Super Famicom platform title - no mean feat considering the vast amount of platform titles released for the system. Fresh gameplay that you soon get into the swing of with a unique graphical style. Spawned a sequel on the Playstation.
