      Is this the game where the main character gets hit by a bird while on a roller coaster?

            Even with a broken nose he’s still immaculate. Life goals.

          They were joking about that happening to Fabio, the model on the cover.

            Unofficial model. They did the same thing with contra when they had Arnold and Sly on the cover.

      Can’t speak for the second game, but Wizards & Warriors 3 was fucking awesome.
