Rocky Rodent is a video game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System released by Irem in 1993. It is known as in Japan.
When Rocky begins eating at Pie Face Balboa's restaurant, he unintentionally eats an envelope with Balboa's protection money. As a result, mobsters take Balboa's daughter. Balboa asks Rocky to rescue his daughter, promising him an All-You-Can-Eat buffet for her return.
As Rocky Rodent, the player plays a rodent who must use four various hairstyles to rescue the daughter of the owner of Rocky's favorite eatery. Rocky Rodent is a platform game with six levels with multiple stages, similar to a cross between Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario Bros.. Text bubbles appear during cutscenes, making the game look more like a comic book than a Saturday morning cartoon.
The game received mixed reviews upon release.
