I think I can explain the story.
_"Long ago in a distant land, I, King Drool, the shape-shifting master of dinos, unleashed an unspeakable evil! But a foolish swollen-headed warrior wielding magic foods stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow was struck, I trapped him in a machine in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now the fool seeks to return to the past and undo the future that is King Drool!"_
Are we sure the bad guy hasn't actually pulled off an Aku plan and "sent that foolish caveman to the distant future, where his evil is law"?
Ikr
Nobody thought of bonk just getting sent into the future
Not the past
2:22 actually, there's some physics behind that. You know how backspin on a baseball is used to make the ball go further and straighter when thrown? That's called the magnus effect, where the spinning generates atmospheric lift. Bonk's head is so massive compared to his body, that by spining midair he generates lift.
*That's some legit science*
.... But, but why is able to switch between going left and right oh so easily whilst performing this *MIND SIZED MEGA* technique?
You explained how he generates lift (Which he, technically isn't. He's more slowing his descent to a gliding like speed) but now I'd love to hear how he's able to turn on a dime, midair, while spinning.
@@adoredmodestcolt1258 he's still generating a lift force, it just isn't enough to overcome his weight. Technically, the name of the force caused by pressure differentials can have any name you want.
@@Gamerboy0088 *I am sorry for the loss of your planet, sir*
That still leaves open the idea of him... Going left and right with such freedom.
Or is that just, unexplainable?
I just wish that Bonk: Brink of Extinction wasn't cancelled.
RIP Hudson.
We can thank Konami.... >_>.. Hudson had so many great IPs.. Bonk, Adventure Island, Bomberman.. I really miss them;
"Oh, Pluto. These were truly better days for you."
He says the same year we get our first clear picture of Pluto.
Game dev: Okay should we make lizard Bonk invisible or invincible?
Game tester: Yes
Dear Jared, I am sure you are aware of this, but there is actually a sequel to Super Bonk, called super bonk 2, that was japan release only. The game is slightly harder AND there are more transformations! Please check it out and review it in the future!
忍者ピストル He didnt review the japanese only hydlide, but man do i want him to review bonk 2, this review was a blast of laughter!
Unithes18
He should also review LSD dream simulator.
That would be hilarious.
The-guy-Zach Yes, but he also said something along the lines of "I guess they just had too hard of a time coming up with wackier ideas for a sequel." Which is clearly wrong if there was actually a sequel. Even if it wasn't released outside of Japan.
Are you sure Drool didn't just send Bonk FORWARD in time?
+Pikaguy The joke is that Jared initially jumped to the conclusion that Bonk was going backwards in time. So, when he ended up in China, he was forced to try to back up his hasty attitude. This is marked by him bringing up the idea of time travel before the machine is even activated.
Anyone else wanna appreciate the fact that Lavos from Chrono Trigger is on his timeline?
Also, let's see a playthrough of this game on his gameplay channel!
I think he sent Bonk to the future so he could take over the world where Bonk arrives long after the world has been taken over. Hence why the dinosaurs are living like people. Blowing up the asteroid sends Bonk back in time so he can fix everything! There! Now that we have explained that everything in this game makes sense!
***** "...But hey! That's just a theory."
A Game Theory! Thanks for watching!
I like Jared just assumed Bonk went back in time and I agreed with him no questions asked until I watched this a second time
Luke tbh as somebody who writes comedic material, that was prolly 95% for the "this game is weird" bit. Knowing jared from his streams, hes smart enough to think of that lol
I think in a way it actually makes some sense that Bonk turns unto a crab after going into warp speed. Think about it, when Bonk gets crushed he turns into a crab, so going into warp speed must've applied enough g-force on Bonk to produce the same effect as though he was crushed.
Long ago in a distant land, I, Drool, the shapeshifting dinosaur of darkness, unleashed and unspeakable trap. Until a foolish caveman warrior, stepped forth to oppose me. After the final trap was struck, I tore open a portal in time, and flung him into the future where my evil had virtually no effect. Now the fool seeks to return to the past, in this crazy weird yet fun game called Super Bonk
1:53 Time is a flat circle, Jared! - Paul
I think this game uses a modified version of Donnie Darko's theory of time travel.
10:04 I just love the "Oh god, what is my life anymore" on jared's face. XD
BLUE BALLS!!!!??? BLUUEEEE BAAALLLSSS!!!??? THIS IS WORSE THAN THE BALL LEVEL IN WARIO'S GOLDEN COINS THAT IS INSIDE THE TOY ROBOT'S JUNK!!!!
When I saw the words Blue Balls on the screen, I immediately thought of a quote Jared used in his Legend Of Zelda Randomizer playthrough on his Gameplay Channel... "Triforce Blue Balls"
Let's all binge his entire youtube career
@@defaultdan7923 Jared has a video on retro Sailor Moon games where he cosplays as Sailor Mercury at the end.
10:06 That face. That rivals Jontron's facial expressions oh my god
This actually looks really fun :OO
Creepy I was just thinking about you then saw you in the comments section ....
I absolutely love Projared's intro because it seems to be inheritly nostalgic even though I don't really watch his videos. It's just so friendly and familiar. Major props dude.
WELCOME BACK JARED!!!
HudsonSoft suffered a fate worst then Death.......they got bought out by Konami!!!!!!! D:
+Alevamltd The placement of that K indicates this was their destiny.
at this point, im not sure that's true, EA is a horrible company but even they arnt trying to burn themselves down to the ground.
Well, they DID murder Simcity and turn it into a crappy mobile app, which is similar to what Konami is doing, except without gambling or Nazi-labor camp devs.
ProbeVoyages precisely, EA ruined a hand full of its IP's Konami ruined ALL of its three dozen IP's so they're far worst then EA right now.
"Bonk can get crushed by a wall and turn into a crab!"

TheLastRaven6 "The sexually frustrated dinosaur sneezes out Bonk so hard, that it launches him out of the stratosphere."
-ProJared, 2015
Of course the Moon has ruins! That's where Beryl attacked and Queen Serenity died for our sins
My marathon of rewatching, liking, and commenting on every Jared video continues. Video 22
I honestly wonder what a cartoon series based off of this game would be like if Bonk ever gained popularity.
Great video! I totally want to play this game now!
Andre "Black Nerd" dude you need to play the bonk series it predate sonic for mascot with atticde
The looks Jared had in this video are all astounding.
I've been aware of Jared for a while now but never really checked his channel out until now.
The next couple of days are going to be good.
Oh you'll love it, I've been around since 20,000 subs, only recently did I actually get a yt channel
I want one of those “Let’s get weird!” Shirts with Bonk’s face on it!
I love the boss level called Blue Balls. And Jared's face seeing it just makes it more funny.
Super Bonk looks like the kinda wacky shit my friends and I would come up with while just talking and joking around, i love it.
Is it possible that, instead of sending Bonk back in time, Drool send Bonk FURTHER in time?
Yes thats what i thought :D he goes to future... back... back... furture... xD
Laggy Lagetta just like those songs that go viral cuz there bad songs like Darude Sandstorm or It's Friday
duisjfuds dinges Or he goes to an alternate version of the future where humans don't exist cuz he was the 'adam?' So thus the dinosaurs replace humans, thus the house level with the dinos in it. That's just my interpretation. (I haven't watched back to the future.)
Then how did Drool end up at the same trap that the game started at?
You can't answer that because this game refuses to make sense.
Please share this video, and enjoy!
***** BUT THEN HOW WOULD HE RETURN TO THE TIME MACHINE & MEAT TRAP BEFORE IT WAS USED!?
Great Episode, Jared :D Rip Hudson Soft, you will be miss, but mostly Bomberman. damn it Konami, why aren't you making a new Bomberman game.
I bonked the like button... Then my head rolled off & hit the wall... Then I turned into a crab...
Perhaps instead of Bonk going so far back he went forward in time...
...He just went forward in time?
I don't think the game ever states that Drool sent Bonk back in time. In fact, I'm pretty sure the game never states ANYTHING. It seems to follow the "show, don't tell" principle, and Jared just making that assumption is kind of clumsy of him.
This game is weird enough that going backwards in time far enough to go forwards seems pretty normal by comparison
"All the zany enemies and environments, and the extremely forgiving gameplay, makes Super Bonk a great platformer for someone who is truly awful at platformers"
LIKE ARIN HANSON!!
The host of a channel called game grumps and he played this game with his friend dan avidan. He has the attention span of a 4 year old on pixie sticks.

The ''Geisha Alien Bunny Lady'' boss is actually a reference to a Japanese folklore.
_The Tale of The Bamboo Cutter_
+Hina Face Isn't everything weird or out of place in a Japanese game a reference so some old folklore?
+Hina Face Well, sort of. The "alien lady" part is, but the "bunny" part is a reference to another Japanese folklore about rabbits living on the moon. Similar to how in some countries people see a man's face on the moon, except we see a rabbit pounding rice cake lol.
I dont know why but i always think projared would make a great father someday and he would mold his kid into himself and he will review his games when he grows up
I'm a bit amazed that you find stuff like this in a video game "weird".
Meanwhile, in Mario, you are an Italian plumber whom lives in a kingdom full of mushroom people. You jump on sentient mushrooms, turtles, bullets and the sun itself; you eat mushrooms to grow big, flowers that give you the ability to shoot fire, stars that make you invulnerable, etc.
You also ride around on a green dinosaur that only says it's name when communicating, and you try to save a princess from a giant lizard in a clowncopter.
Yeah, that's TOTALLY not weird...
and then theres a game with a blue hedgehog wearing red sneakers who is a 90s person and he has a 2 tailed fox friend so they can fight a fat scientist
Mario became so famous that by now everything related to it is considered "the norm" in regard to videogame logic
Nope. They're mushrooms. The more chestnut like Goombas in SMW are actually called Galoombas, they were accidentally mislabeled in that game.
My own personal items (based on those debit/credit card ads):
PlayStation 3 Slim: $100
500 GB Hard Drive: $50
DualShock 3: $25
New Nintendo 3DS XL: $150
The look on Jared's face (10:05) upon seeing Blue Balls: priceless.
Is there some reference I'm missing here? If not, umm... good for you, I guess.
+TheDiego908 It was a marketing campaign for a credit card (I think). =)
This was AMAZING-- I laughed a lot, but the very genuine feeling-share at the end really hit home. Sometimes it really is nice to just enjoy something simple (and maybe a bit wacky) instead of furiously searching for or impatiently waiting for that game that completely changes everything.
I really, REALLY enjoyed this review.
Yes and YES! I kinda missed the days where movies and games are enjoyable. Now it's either a quick money grab or become extremely critique which results in why we can't have anything good.
The story of Bonk is great! It makes me want to write my own about a world like in Xenogears, where technomages wield fragmented bits and pieces of formerly extremely powerful technology, and one of them goes evil and sends a good guy into the distant past to an extremely advanced society that was totally wiped out and practically erased from history. He tries to change the future by saving the past while coming to grips with the fact he'll never see his wife and children again.
1:53 Thanks to your newest video about chrono trigger and the fact I've been playing that game non stop since I watched it, I finally noticed and gained the ability to appreciate that reference.
Bonk should defiantly be a super smash bros character.
Dan Smith His final smash could be a stage clearing stomp from giant giant bonk like he used against drool
22 and counting. This game looks awesome.

"Hey Puppet Pal Clem, can you guess what my favorite game is?"
"I don't know Puppet Pal Mitch. What is your favorite game?"
"Bonk"
This is such a silly, happy episode! Hearing the genuine joy in Jared's voice throughout the video always makes me grin, too!
i literally headbutted my mouse to press the like button
I'm pretty sure that everyone around me thought I was insane while I hit my head against the touch screen to like the video, and I got so close, too! (What I meant by close is that it would highlight the like button, but then stop highlighting it when I clicked somewhere else.)
This might be coming to my mind because it's 3 AM but i feel like bonk would have a TON of potential for a smash brothers character
Goodbye Summer, Hello Winter. Oh, and hello Jared.
Jacob Rutter He could live on the southern hemisphere. The seasons are parallel there.

Just fuck it, yo. I don't give a shit, it's a fucking show.
I gotta say, the soundtrack is so wackily underrated and I love it
It's nice to see his subscriber count climbing again
This was an awesome childhood game for me honestly never questioned the weirdness
9:52
You're...kidding, right, Jared?
You're telling me that you go _inside of a dinosaur's still-beating heart_ as a level?!
Even if I was on the strongest dose of LSD _possible,_ I still couldn't come up with something like _that._
Bonk is weird. But that's what makes it so good.
I want 10:05 as a reaction image to everything.
I'm pretty sure that's one of the faces he used to censor dicks in his Top Ten Dicks of Gaming censored version.
@@martinalejandromartinez1328 when you slander someone and make fun of them without knowing the facts like a dickhead
For god’s sake! What is it with 1990’s Japanese platformers with prehistoric main characters ending up INSIDE OF A DINOSAUR!?
Doing my part in drowning out negative comments
Not really doing anything as this is not a positive comment, but keep thinking you're doing good.
5:06 Kira Bonk, Bite Za Curbo!!!!
I loved this game as a kid! Thanks for the nostalgia
12:44 loved moments like this from the channel and I'm I'll be seeing new ones soon.
Don't you think that maybe Drool sent Bonk into the future, not the past?
Everyone is speaking of time travel, but why couldn't it just be a teleportation pod that sent bonk aaaall the way to China? He then has to cross the world (through Paris, I guess) to get back to his home (?)
Isn't the moon associated with rabbits in Japanese culture? The dark spots of the moon make up an image of a rabbit making rice cakes to them, no?
Usagi means Rabbit, Usagi was the leader in sailor Moon! Conidince?!................................... No probably not.
TheLastRaven6 Her name was "Tsukino usagi" and "Tsuki no usagi" literally means "rabbit of the moon"
1:53 "Day of Lavos" xD JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA
Lol the part of your intro where you're tormenting a floppy disk cracks me up every time.
Love you, Jared, keep reviewing games! !!
PS: almost coughed up a lung laughing when Bonk rode "RAGE"
but this explains everything! !
Bonk is baby Wario!!!!!
Great for someone who is just awful at platformers, sounds right up my alley
I love how the time line has a chrono trigger reference
10:36 Confirmed. Jared is the Space Core in disguise.
I think Hudson was trying to make an Alex Kidd-type when making this. It resembles it, except for the power-ups and some moves.
what was Jared "drinking" at 5:13
Not drinking, he's pretending to be inhaling a "dust off" product that gets you short high
Wow, this is amazing!
I used to play this game when I was super young. It was part of one of those "200 games in one" cds that you could find in the markets. This is a massive nostalgia hit. Anyway, I've been trying to find at least one of these games to link me back to that particular cd, but for so long I couldn't and it really bothered me. Now at last I have a link!
Thank you ProJared.
My favorite review that Jared's done. It's such a silly, delightful game and he has a ball with it.
I headbutted the like button. I can't see the screen, so I hpe ths goes throuhg okat.
I remember awhile back I was looking for a caveman game, kept coming across this, though the one I think I was trying to remember was Prehistorik man or whatever, I just remember a section you had a hang glider and the goal of the game was collecting food
Haven't heard of this game in YEARS. I used to play as a kid and didn't remember how it was called!
You absolute legend, thank you.
uh oh.
Projared acting optimistic.
Something has gone horribly wrong
Anyone with a brain can beat it? *Looks at Game Grumps' unfinished Bonk series*
Edit: I literally made this comment 6 years ago. Why are people still replying to this. I’ve almost gotten two degrees since I last watched this fuckn video
Jared you should play The Legendary Starfy!! It’s a chill, laidback game where the objective is just to have a fun ride as well! (Not as trippy as Bonk though, but still kinda trippy nonetheless).
dude this video was one of your finest! I can not believe I never knew this game was so insane! you captured it's insanity perfectly!
I forgot how much I love this video. Always makes me laugh.
Doesn't it make more sense that he sent Bonk into the future, and not back into the past.
"Simple enough that anyone with half a brain could beat it."
*Glances at Egoraptor*
Yeah. I-It's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know?
I got that reference
Not gonna lie, that was pretty clever.
