Template:Nihongo foot is a platform game released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993 in Japan and 1994 in the west. It was developed by ASCII and published by Titus France in North America and Europe.
Gameplay
Ardy Lightfoot is a side-scrolling platform game where you can control title character anthropomorphic fox Ardy and his little friend, who's is a blue creature by the named Pec, who can be used as a weapon, or can take the role of various other helpful devices like a red hot air balloon or an orange spiked rock wall destroyer. If Ardy is hit by an enemy, Pec will dissolve, and can only be retrieved by finding a treasure chest. If Ardy is without his best friend, he can still attack by bouncing on his own tail. He can also protect himself temporarily by hiding behind a clear mirror which can easily get pulled out of his pocket at anytime.
Plot
The sacred rainbow has shattered into seven crystal pieces, and it is up to Ardy to obtain them all. Whoever collects all seven crystal pieces will receive a wish. The evil King Visconti has already gotten one crystal piece, and he is searching for the other pieces. To this end, he sends out his followers, including Beecroft, Catry and many others. Ardy is assisted by friends along the way, like the unnamed elder, Nina, and a mysterious adventurer named Don Jacoby.
Although the ending screen says "To be continued", no sequel was ever made.
Development and release
When Titus published Ardy Lightfoot for North American audiences, several changes were introduced. These included numerous sprites, such as Ardy's "waiting" pose, being removed; tied up and crying animals being removed from the background on the forest level; and in level 6, "Eaten!", Catry's gruesome death by acid was written out of the plot; instead of being reduced to a pile of bones, she is merely knocked unconscious.
