Overview and Gameplay
Chuck D. Head, a bandaged creation with a face in his torso, must rebuild the shattered Body Island and defeat Max D. Cap. Decap Attack is a comic-horror platformer built around running, jumping, enemy attacks, item collection, and exploration across seven themed worlds.
Each world contains three rounds. The first two focus on reaching the exit, while the third requires a hidden body part and a boss victory. Coins lead to bonus games, and the adventure must be completed without passwords or a standard continue system.
Controls And Mechanics
- Directions move Chuck and operate certain springs or poles.
- B performs his short-range torso attack or throws an equipped skull.
- C jumps, swims, and can slow a fall with repeated presses.
- A opens the item inventory, while Start pauses.
- Potions can improve movement or attacks, freeze enemies, grant temporary invincibility, or clear enemies from the screen.
- This version supports solo play only.
Version Notes
The Western game extensively reworks Vic Tokai’s Japanese Mega Drive title Magical Hat no Buttobi Turbo! Daiboken with new characters, graphics, music, enemies, bosses, and balance. The USA and Europe release shares the same title and gameplay.
