Action Pachio

Action Pachio (アクションパチ夫) is a video game created by Coconuts Japan in 1993 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
The player takes control of a white Pachio (Pachinko ball) and tries to make his way through all the side-scrolling levels. In between each level is a cut scene that updates the story for the player. Players can collect coins in the game; collecting 100 of them results in an extra life. They are also given a life bar with three different colors (symbolizing how "healthy" the character is), a time limit, and a relatively generic score indicator that goes up to 99 million points.
