Rolo to the Rescue is a platformer for the Genesis, starring an agile elephant, Rolo. Gameplay involves freeing animals from cages. Switching to the saved animals allows for different movement modes, which adds some puzzle elements. The overworld is assembled by getting pieces from clearing stages.
By herself, Rolo can only take one hit, but the animals she frees will take a hit then leave the group. Rolo is a perfectionist, anything less than 100% gets the bad ending, which is quite dark for a game that seems aimed at kids.

Now that is blast processing
That's a really fast Elephant, to be honest
the ending to this game is fucking WILD
Strange game.
Absolutely unhinged bad ending at 9:44
Someone need to make a good ending TAS for a change, I rented this game by accident back at the time and actually it's a solid and challenging game.
That ending is nightmare inducing trigger warning next time oh my god
Never Truly Happy%
06:57 awww the jingle
YOU ARE NEVER TRULY HAPPY AGAIN
I'm imagining this being the first game a young impressionable kid ever completed and the impact the ending had on their playing practises from that point forward, brutal!
The ending made me sad but seeing a cartoon elephant in a cowboy hat made me smile.
What kind of circus has moles and beavers?
Also, that elephant is way too smug for having 1 HP.
Man, the nostalgia! It's enough to make a man cry!
