The Legend of Rocket Panda Page
Who is Rocket Panda?
Rocket Panda is our furry food-obsessed hero who flies using his tea-powered rocket pack snacking on biscuits! He escaped from the stale and repressive Republic of Rich Tea for tastier treats in his new found home, Biscuit Land. He is a rogue panda. He fights for freedom, justice and sweet, tasty biscuits!
What's the Story?
The evil Biscuit Head has invaded Biscuit Land, home of Rocket Panda and his small furry band of Badgers. The Badgers have been kidnapped and a menagerie of enemies have taken over. It's up to you to deftly fly to the rescue!
The Game
Rocket Panda is a new Sega Megadrive game - an old school arcade action game for one player, based on classics like Lunar Lander and Thrust. You must guide Rocket Panda through a terrifyingly tasty world of dangerous mazes, looking out for Flying Pigs, Mines, Toasters, Tanks and UFO's! Rocket Panda can rescue Badgers trapped in the maze, who follow our hero acting as limited shields. Collect all the biscuits for score and drink tea to power your dash move. This is essential to take down the 7 Bosses in the game, including Giant Teacup, Dragon, Mega Toast and Cheese Ball.
There are 64 levels in the game taking you across 7 worlds, from Biscuit City to the Ice Cream Archipelago, the Chocolate Mountains, Candy Catacombs and up into space.
