* IAmNotShazam - The naming of the enemies (who are almost all directly lifted from the NES games) is incredibly inconsistent. Some of them retain the original names from the titles they appeared in, others have made-up names, and others take the name of the game they starred in, such as ''KidIcarus'' and the ''Balloon Fight'' guy.

* NintendoHard - Ultimately averted: the game isn't easy, but it is far less frustrating than many of the titles that inspired it, plus it has an autosave feature that lets you continue from the last level reached. Still, some people think it's too hard, and the Balloon Fight/Pro Wrestling level is overall pretty difficult since you die in 2 hits in the first part, dying at the second part forces you to do the first one again and naturally you can't skip to the second part right away from stage select.

Not only he is unaffected by any attacks during the Balloon Fight phase, he manages to survive a very violent wrestling match with Abobo, including when he basically nukes the arena with his Rage finishing move. However, the SpikesOfDoom from Megaman are too much even for him.

'''Abobo's Big Adventure''' is a [[MacromediaFlash Flash]]-based [[WebGames browser game]] made by "Team Bobo" and released to the public on January 11, 2012 after a [[DevelopmentHell long time of development]]. The game's development started in 2002 as a pet project of Roger Barr a.k.a. [=-RoG-=] of ''I-Mockery'' fame, who wanted to create the ultimate tribute to [[NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES games]]. The early drafts of this project were scrapped because of other commitments, and [=-RoG-=] started anew in 2006 with a new group of developers, who strived to preserve as much as possible the look and feel of NES titles.
