Gameplay

Development

Kenji Eno was the game's designer.[1] The names of the game's main character and villain were changed when the game was localized for Western audiences.[3] In the Japanese version, the hero is a chef named Kokkun. The main villain was named "Hors d'Oeuvre"; the name "Ohdove" was the result of an incorrect transliteration of a French word to Japanese and then to English.[3] In the overseas versions the "Clobber Pan" replaced the chef's head as the default weapon.[3] Also, the best weapon was the "Wacky Pan", which did not exist in the Japanese version.
