As Aventuras da TV Colosso
Chefinho is sick, and to be cured he’ll need a medicine made up from six rare
herbs. But they can only be found in the wilds, and get them is a mission for
Gilmar and Priscila.
As Aventuras da TV Colosso (which means “The Adventures of TV Colosso”) is
a modified version of Asterix and the Secret Mission, with Asterix and Obelix
replaced by Gilmar and Priscila, characters from a Brazilian TV puppet show,
popular during the early 90’s.
In this side-scrolling action game, the player can choose to play either
Gilmar or Priscila at the start of each one of the six levels. Although the
main setting of each level is the same to both characters (forests, caves,
deserts, underwater stages, waterfalls and such) the level design for each one
may vary. In two player mode, players will take turns playing as Gilmar and
Priscila. Both characters jump (by pressing button 2), punch enemies and break
blocks (by pressing button 1). Gilmar can run can run (by pressing and holding
button 1 while moving) and double jump (by pressing 2 in the middle of a
jump). Priscila is stronger and can break several bricks in a row when jumping
over them (pressing 1 while jumping), and can also slide down hills (by
pressing down at them).
Gilmar can get some potions (thrown by pressing up and 1), which can break
rocks, kill or shrink enemies. Priscila can get miniature menhirs which can be
thrown (by pressing up and 1) against enemies. Both characters can also get
bones throughout the game, granting access to bonus stages where the player
controls a little dog. Some levels also involve minor puzzle solving, like
pushing switches or moving rock blocks.
