Whoever wrote the previous
definition needs to get HIS facts straight. Flicky was originally an arcade game that came out back in "nineteen hundred, and eighty-four" (that's "1984") to you. It later got PORTED to the Mega Drive (as the Japanese and Europeans call it). See, Flicky existed WAAAAAY before that blue "Sonic" fellow.
You're not "a" flicky, you are THE Flicky;
the original eponymous (pronounced eh-PAHN-a-mus) character who has to rescue her chicks (and I mean the actual bird kind!) called Chirps (or "Piopio" for you Japanese folk) from a cat named Nyan-Nyan (that's "Tiger" to you "
yanks"), and an iguana named Choro ("Iggy").
You with me so far? Good.
You clear levels by getting all the Chirps to the exit door (kinda like Sonic 3D Blast only...2D). Simple, no? Too bad you gotta worry about the Tiger's and the Iggy's, AND if you take one hit, you're out. Simple, yet complex.
