Super Masao 2 (2001)

A side-scrolling action game originally published on Naoto’s Script in 2001. It consists of 17 stages including hidden one and its goal is to find a star in each stage, collect 4 stars at least and defeat the boss in the last stage. The author, Naoto Fukuda, is known for his taste for making parody games. Therefore, it is basically inspired by a series of Super Mario Bros. (especially Super Mario 64). Many enemies look very similar to Pokémon characters. It is often mentioned as the most popular browser game on the Japanese Internet in the early 2000s.
