About This Game

Zool no Yume Bouken is the Japanese release of the side-scrolling platformer Zool, where players control the titular ninja from the Nth dimension as he runs, jumps, and attacks through colorful worlds to defeat the evil Krool and recover his lost possessions.

Story

Zool, a ninja from the Nth dimension, is transported to Earth after his home dimension is invaded by the evil Krool. To restore his realm, Zool must recover six lost power crystals scattered across bizarre landscapes, defeating Krool’s minions and ultimately confronting Krool himself.

Guide & Tips

Progress through six themed worlds, each divided into multiple stages. Collect hearts for extra lives, gems for points, and special items to unlock Zool’s spin dash. Defeat the end-of-world bosses by learning their patterns and using jump attacks. Use the pause menu (Start) to check your inventory and map.

Trivia

Zool was created as a mascot for British developer Gremlin Graphics to rival Sega’s Sonic the Hedgehog. The SNES version includes two exclusive bonus stages not found in the Genesis release and features a rearranged soundtrack by composer Allister Brimble.
