Puss N Boots: Pero's Great Adventure is a platform shooter developed by Shouei System and published by Electro Brain for the NES in June 1990. The game is based on the Toei anime, Puss N Boots and a significantly modified version of the original Famicom release, Puss in Boots: An Adventure: Around the World in 80 Days.

The game's story is based on the Japanese anime which is loosely based on Around the World in Eighty Days. Count Gruemon sends Pero through time and space, and Pero must fight his way through the Wild West, Jolly Old London, and even outer space to get back to duel Gruemon.

Best Version: NES

— This section contains spoilers! —

Good

• The various locales you visit add nice variety.
• A bird literally poops on you. Awesome!

Bad

• For some reason, your horizontal speed increases when you jump. This makes control more difficult than it needs to be.

Ugly

• Overall, the controls, graphics, music, and animation are all particularly poor for the time. If the game came out five years earlier it would have been tolerable (though still terrible).
• The difficulty of the game swings wildly. In most sections, it's so easy, you can avoid all the enemies without even needing to shoot. But some of the sections, like the pit room in London, are very difficult.
• The bosses are extremely difficult until you find a safe place to stand, and then they become very easy.
