Plot edit

Baloo and Kit are delivering cargo for Rebecca Cunningham, Shere Khan hires the Air Pirates, led by Don Karnage, in an attempt to sabotage their business.

Gameplay edit

The gameplay consists of maneuvering Baloo's plane "The Seaduck" through each level, fending off incoming enemies and avoiding obstacles. Items can be collected for extra lives or to add to the total cash score. The plane can be rotated upside to traverse back through the level, but only on horizontally scrolling areas. At the end of each level, the player is required to fight a boss enemy by repeatedly shooting its weak points. After beating a level, the player has the option to buy upgrades for Baloo's plane with the money collected, before proceeding to the next level. In bonus levels the player controls Kit on an airfoil to pop balloons for bonus points.

Reception edit

Super Gamer magazine gave the Game Boy version a review score of 65%, stating: "Quite a tricky shoot-'em-up this. Features characters from the cartoon, but certainly wouldn't appeal to younger players when it's this difficult."[5]
