Item Description

Few NES games ever asked you to put down the controller and grab a glass of water. In StarTropics, at a key moment, players had to dip a letter from Mike Jones's uncle, packed with the original release, into water to reveal a hidden code, and that kind of playful, real-world puzzle is why the game is still so fondly remembered.

Directed by Genyo Takeda and developed by Nintendo with Locomotive Corporation, StarTropics was made for Western audiences and never released in Japan. Teen hero Mike Jones heads to the South Seas to find his missing uncle, Dr. Jones, chatting with islanders in the overworld before diving into dungeons armed with a yo-yo. Those dungeons mix combat with tile-jumping puzzles, and the island-hopping story has a warm, slightly goofy charm all its own. Its sequel, Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II, followed in 1994.

This scaled-down reproduction of the North American box is a lovely way to honor a Nintendo adventure that never got the spotlight of Zelda or Metroid but earned a devoted following anyway. Set it beside other first-party NES favorites for a shelf that tells the whole story. It is a reproduction, not original Nintendo packaging, and its back panel carries the Mini Box Gaming logo.
