Certainly a better enviro-platformer than Awesome Possum kicks Dr. Machino's Butt  . |

Certainly a better enviro-platformer than Awesome Possum kicks Dr. Machino's Butt . Even though the pro-envrionmental theme is pretty low-key and the protagonist is, ironically enough, a smelly skunk  |

This game is as basic as it gets. It would be fine as a SNES game but as a PSx game it is just below average.

I think on this point, we can make a drinking game on how many times HG101 articles mention "the bizarre, underappreciated Japanese video game company named Jaleco that made many decent games but never really took off". It's pretty much an obligatory "SMB2 was Doki Doki Panic" of this site as of now  |

The second sentence of this article -- "With this in mind, it can be said that Jaleco, the company behind some little-known games such as the Rushing Beat and Ninja Jajamaru-kun series , is, in a way, the skunk of Japanese game developers, being known for their above-average titles that popped up on all sorts of platforms through the 80s and 90s and that, much like the little stinkers themselves, were seen as unlikable varmints by the general public instead of the fascinating creatures/pieces of software that they truly were, and none of their games shows the accuracy of this comparison better than Punky Skunk (known in Japan as Cooly Skunk), their late entry into the crowded world of 90s mascot platformers which, as the title implies, coincidentally stars a skunk, and a pretty punky one at that." -- is spectacularly long, and could use a fresh edit, I think. |

Completely mediocre game really; pales in comparison even to stuff like Lomax and Pandemonium (granted I like both of those games.)
Speaking of PS1 side-scrollers, I guess we're due for a Johnny Bazookatone article sometime. |

They call it Punky Skunk because this game stinks! |
