Penguin Adventure

Gameplay

This title significantly expanded upon the gameplay of Antarctic Adventure by most notably adding a greater variety of stages and enemies and role-playing elements: boss fights, purchasable items, and several minigames. Items can be purchased through three different fisherman, in exchange for fish, that give Penta new abilities. One of the items that can be bought is a gun.

Level design and variety have increased from Antarctic Adventure; there are forest levels, ice levels, water-based levels, caves, and even some outer-space bonus levels. There are several shortcuts, usually hidden underneath holes (which are typically harmful hazards) in the game, that allow the player to go on almost completely different paths. The game features multiple endings, with the hidden good ending available when the player pauses the game a certain number of times. In the bad ending, the princess dies, while in the good ending, she lives.

Some publications have stated that Kojima reused the idea for multiple endings from this game in Metal Gear Solid and, to an extent, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, due to it often being cited as his debut game. However, Kojima himself has stated that he only participated in the project for about a month to help plan the game, pitching suggestions such as the slot machine in the shop and how to defeat the bosses. Additionally, his name does not appear in the credits either. Kojima's first game credit and directorial debut would be with Metal Gear, released for the MSX2 the next year.

Ports

• Zemina, a South Korean video game company, made an unauthorized Master System port with the same title, credited as Kkum-Uidaelyug () on the cartridge, which was published towards the end of the 1980s.
