Boogerman: A Pick and Flick Adventure (SNES) Playthrough - NintendoComplete
A playthrough of Interplay’s 1995 platformer for the Super Nintendo, Boogerman: A Pick and Flick Adventure.
For as long as I’ve been old enough to tell a coherent joke, I’ve had an inexplicable fascination with the ones that largely exist to offend people’s sensibilities. I guess every boy of a certain age probably goes through that, but I can still quite well appreciate fart jokes, women jokes, religious jokes, Goatse - I can laugh forever at any and all of them. The lower brow they are, the funnier I usually find them.
As a kid, I loved all of those things in my video games. For whatever reason, though, Boogerman never appealed to a tween me when it first came out. I didn’t play it until several years after the SNES had officially been killed and buried, but everytime I’ve played it as an adult, I always think of how a younger me would’ve gone crazy for it.
The game is a standard, fairly linear platformer like countless others in the 90s. You run around, collect stuff, kill enemies, and run to the exit. Nothing special there, but it does play well. The controls are a bit loose but they’re reliable and simple, and the game poses a challenge without being too hard.
But really, the game is more a vehicle for whatever nasty imagery the good folks at Interplay could pack into it. Jumping on boils growing out of the floor nets you bonus points (with an exceptionally moist sound, no less!), getting sucked up into a giant nostril teleports you across a level, and snot covers nearly every surface in view.
Your weapons are the truly classy bits though - you can flick bogeys at the enemies, or you can wipe them out by launching burp and fart attacks. Not only do you have a short and long range version of the gas attacks, but you can also upgrade them with items. Are your boogers just not doing enough damage? Drink some milk, thicken that phlegm, and hock a heavy wet glob of lung butter at them instead. Not enough methane in your growling bowels? Eat some chili peppers and watch Vesuvius erupt! Obviously, this is a game with real sense of propriety.
The nicely animated graphics, catchy music, and clear speech and sound effects should be mentioned, too. They sell the grossness well.
The humor certainly gives Boogerman its personality, and while the gameplay never quite set the gold standard, it’s well above average for a SNES platformer. Even if you stripped it of its theme, it would still be a thoroughly playable, well-produced game.
But still, what fun would that be when the game invests so heavily in being objectionable? If ever you had wanted a game that would’ve drawn looks of disgust from your mom, this would’ve been a top pick.
