Ganbare! Daiku no Gen-san is a side-scrolling action game for the Super Nintendo, featuring the character Gen-san on a quest for revenge after his new home is destroyed by a bomb. Players navigate through five stages with two sections each, using a mallet to defeat enemies and execute special attacks, including fireballs and shockwaves. Boss battles occur at the end of each stage, challenging players to progress.
Hammerin' Harry and his friends have brought themselves a new house. They stand outside its front gate, watching it shine. They also watch a bomb fly past the house and destroy it. His friends are left devastated, and Harry seeks revenge on those responsible for the bombing.
In Ganbare Daiku no Gensan, you must go through five stages (with two areas each), destroying workers that get in your way using your mallet. You can use it to perform two special attacks. One that sends fireballs going in all directions, and a more powerful one that sends shockwaves, destroying everything on screen. At the end of each area, a boss needs to be defeated in order to proceed to the next one.
