''Snake Rattle 'n' Roll'' has been named one of the top games released on the NES and one of the top games released by Rare. ==Gameplay== ''Snake Rattle 'n' Roll'' features two snakes – Rattle and Roll – as they make their way through 11 isometric levels. The object in each level is to eat enough "Nibbley Pibbleys" – small round creatures found throughout each level – to gain enough weight to ring a bell on top of a weighing machine located at the end of the level; this causes a door for the next level to open. Players maneuver their snakes throughout the level with the control pad and are able to pick up Nibbley Pibbleys by pressing the B button on the controller. The snakes' lengths increase when they eat; players' snake length grows more quickly when they eat Nibbley Pibbleys of their own color, and they grow the most when they eat yellow ones. Located in each level are dispensers which randomly spew out Nibbley Pibbleys; however, they also spew out bombs which can damage the snakes.〔Instruction Manual, p. 5.〕 When a snake reaches a long enough length, the tail begins to flash, which means the snake is heavy enough to exit that level. At that point, they must find and jump on the scale in order to ring the bell and open the exit door.〔Instruction Manual, p. 6.〕 Each level contains various obstacles and enemies that the players must deal with. Players lose a segment from their snake if they are hit by an enemy, and they lose a life if their snake runs out of segments.〔 Players can also lose a life if their snakes fall too far, the timer runs out, their snakes touch a sharp object, or if they are squashed by an object from above. Also, if they remain in some bodies of water for too long, a shark will attack. The game ends if players lose all their lives, but they have several continues in which they can restart the game from where they left off.〔Instruction Manual, p. 7.〕 Players can defeat enemies by hitting them with their tongues or by jumping on them.〔 They can collect various items to help them along during gameplay, such as items that extend the length of the snakes' tongues, extra lives and continues, time bonuses, invisibility diamonds, and items that speed up or reverse the direction of the snakes.〔Instruction Manual, p. 9.〕 Located throughout the game are lids (in the shape of manhole covers) in which players can open to uncover Nibbly Pibbleys, items and extra lives, entrances to bonus levels, and sometimes enemies.〔〔Instruction Manual, p. 12.〕 Also located in the game are hidden warps which allow players to skip several levels and restart at a later point in the game.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Snake Rattle 'n' Roll」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
