Item Condition

Game only: the cartridge in a protective holder, no box or manual. For the specifics, look to the photos — they're of this exact cartridge. Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

A soda logo in sunglasses had no business starring in one of the best-animated platformers on the Super Nintendo, but that is exactly what happened. Cool Spot takes the red dot from the 7 Up logo, which had sprouted arms, legs and shades for the drink's advertising in 1987, and turns him into a hero with smooth, springy animation and a cocky little personality that comes through in every movement.

Each level hides a fellow Spot locked in a cage, and you earn the rescue by collecting enough of the small red spots scattered around the stage. The quota climbs as the game goes on and a clock is always ticking, so you are constantly weighing how far to explore against how much time is left. Spot fights by flicking soda bubbles in any direction, and he can cling to and climb objects around the stage, which gives the levels a surprising amount of vertical play. Even the health meter has a sense of humor: a Spot face that slumps further forward with every hit until it topples over.

Gather enough spots and you unlock a fizzy, 7 Up-soaked bonus stage, where hidden letters spelling out UNCOLA, the drink's long-running slogan, tie into the continue system. Flagpoles act as checkpoints along the way, and the settings start at the beach and the seaside pier before heading somewhere stranger. Behind the polish was a strong team at Virgin Games, including programmer David Perry, who founded Shiny Entertainment soon afterward and helped bring Earthworm Jim to life.

Reviewers were enthusiastic, the game sold around a million copies across its many versions, and Spot returned in Spot Goes to Hollywood. Decades on, it shows that a marketing deal could still produce real craft: a breezy, good-looking SNES platformer that is a pleasure to pick up on original hardware.

About the game

Cool Spot is a mascot for 7 Up, introduced in 1987. During this time, the red spot in the 7 Up logo was anthropomorphized: given arms, legs, a mouth, and sunglasses. British video games developer Virgin Interactive's American studio produced a platform game starring the 7 Up Spot, entitled Cool Spot.
