9	''Ponpoko'' is a 1982 UsefulNotes/{{Arcade\|Game}} PlatformGame. Though originally produced in Japan by Sigma Enterprises, it [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff became most popular in South Korea]], where it is known as ''Neoguri'' (너구리).
10
11	The player controls a {{tanuki}} named Ponpoko, who goes around single-screen levels collecting fruits, climbing ladders, avoiding enemies, and jumping over spikes and gaps in the platforms.
12
13	Not to be confused with ''Anime/PomPoko''.
14	----
15	!!Tropes appearing in this game:
16	* ChestMonster: "?" pots release either bonus points or snakes.
17	* EdibleCollectible: The object of each level is to eat the eight "fruits" (which may be vegetables or mushrooms).
18	* EndlessGame: The game only has 20 "patterns," and the 20th one just repeats after you beat it.
19	* EveryTenThousandPoints: The player gains an extra life at 30,000 points, though (as usual) difficulty switches can change this behavior.
20	* FallingDamage: Even falling one level is fatal, which makes it necessary to use the ladders.
21	* JumpPhysics: Not particularly generous by modern standards, though both a high jump and a low jump are available.
22	* SelectiveGravity: All the enemies move from left to right and back with no regard for gravity.
23	* ShaveAndAHaircut: This is used as the GameOver jingle.
24	* SpikesOfDoom: They may only be pins, but they're still pointy and deadly.
