This is Abobo.

He's not Donkey Kong. He's twice as good looking and three times as strong.

In all seriousness, you may remember Abobo as the villain of Double Dragon. Well, Jimmy Lee has kidnapped Abobo's son, Aboboy, and it's up to you to help Abobo get him back.

The trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTBXvP89Now) shows you what it's all about.

What is Abobo's Big Adventure?

Abobo's big adventure is a free flash game created by a handful of flash developers, including none other then I-Mockery. Traveling through 8 worlds on your adventure to find Abobo's son, ABA is a massive tribute to the NES era; Double Dragon, Mario Brothers, Zelda and more are included as worlds with different play styles.

What kind of horrors has I-Mockery put into this game?

I-Mockery, as some of you may know, is a moderately well known flash game creator who makes strange, comical and usually very graphic games. However, Abobo's Big Adventure has nothing particularly mind scarring in it. As a warning for the more squeemish, there is blood and violence, however.

I am already sold, where can I find it?

Newgrounds (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/587787) or the offical site (http://www.abobosbigadventure.com/).

If you have ever enjoyed a NES, or NES Emulator, you should be able to appreciate everything about this. Give it a shot; You can even play with a NES controller, should you have a USB adapter.

I've played through it and here's a tip for the Final Boss:
Abobo vs. Little Mac: Punch-Out!! Style!!!
Controls: A/S; Left/Right jab (Inbetween Rounds, press S to heal yourself.)
Left/Right; Dodge
Down+A/S; Left/Right Uppercut
A+S; RAGE (You've probably gone through the whole game knowing what this does: Clears the screen of enemies and does huge amounts of damage to bosses. Here, Abobo's Rage move will have him randomly do a signature move of a fighter from the original game. For example, he puts on a turban and performs Great Tiger's disappearing trick.)

Like the game it is based off of, you're going to go nowhere if you're going on the pure offensive. Plus, Little Mac has beefed up since his Championship run, as he can KO Abobo in THREE HITS.
Your Uppercut is your fastest move, but it does like half the damage of your regular punches. In addition, it cannot stun Little Mac, which is important if you're going to try for beating him in one round/not getting KO'd achievements.
The best strategy to beating him is a simple four step plan:
1: Dodge his attacks. You can't block them since he's spamming Star Punches everywhere, but 2/3rds of his moves have an audio cue to clue you in on one of his delayed attacks. The one without the cue is his fastest.
2: After Dodging, hit him with your jab. Not your uppercuts, your jabs (A/S w/o holding a direction.)
3: That jab has knocked the wind out of Mac, followup with a flurry of Uppercuts to build your rage. This is also the best time for you to unleash said rage.
4: Repeat until Mac hits the mat.

WAIT!!! WHAT'S THIS!?!
Final FINAL boss:

BIG MAC.

Wait what? No, you're thinking of the wrong Mac brony!!!

This Big Mac.
Not much different here from Little Mac, follow the same four-step you used before. The only difference here is that you have to deal with an entirely new set of three attacks. However, Big Mac is surprisingly MORE predicable than Little Mac, since he follows a set patten:
Two Uppercuts, (His hand is struck by Lightning.)
A single punch THAT EXPLODES (hand has light rays go into it.)
Last is a double-fisted overhead slam that makes giant green boxing glove erupt from the ground. (Holds his hands over his head.)
Again, knock him down three times (or once if you beat Little Mac in the First Round.) to knock all the powerups out of him. FINISH HIM!
