Snow Brothers 3: Magical Adventure is an arcade game developed by Syrmex Electronics and released in 2002.
Overview[]
The game is a extensive hack of the original Snow Bros. released by Toaplan in 1990. In the game, the player controls cream-colored characters that loosely resemble elephants. Player 1 wears the national Mexico team uniform, while Player 2 wears the national South Korea team uniform. The game has no story unlike the original game, but gameplay remains largely the same. Almost all tracks, sound effects, and graphics are modified.
The game's music is played via an PCM soundchip, instead of a YM3812, the FM soundchip used in the Snow Bros. However, the music used seems to be from converted MIDI files.
Trivia[]
- The game uses various stolen assets throughout it's stages:
- On Stage 20, a Spawn wallpaper is used.
- On Stage 30, the third bosses are Cacodemons from the DOOM series.
- On Stage 40, the background features the Ghost Rider.
- The ending features women in lingerie with "Thank Snow Brothers" written below.
- There is an alternate of this game known as Ball Boy released in South Korea. It features a 3-player mode and does not have any company credited.
- The game's loose soccer theme was likely used to cash in on the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
