Larry-O's latest game, Super Larry-O Bros 2: Carrot Capers, despite it's original new method of play, didn't make as much money as SCEJ, the game's developers had actually hoped for. Those who bought it, took it back, those who did actually keep it only did so to make their videogames collection look bigger. Sadly, the game's marketing manager, Toyota Satsuma, and his assistant, Fuji Camawa, resigned shortly after the game's release in Europe.

However, fans of the original Larry-O Bros, the videogame that was completely new and entirely original, don't dispair! SJEC have already began work on the third game, this time called, Super Larry-O Bros 3. It has already been announced by SCEE that Larry-O Bros 3 has gone back to it's roots, with only the Larry-O brothers to play as, using the original technique of jumping on enemies to defeat them. There are a few additions to this game that make it that little bit better than the original though.

First of all, you get to miss out certain levels if you don't want to, with this brand new, revolutionary, completely original and uncopied, map screen! Instead of having to go through every level in order, you can choose which route you'd like to take through each world, though missing out levels could mean missing out on bonus items featured throughout the game.

Second new feature is the ability to win and use items between main levels. As I have already mentioned, there are bonus levels throughout the game which award you with items. These items are to be used before you select the level you wish to use them in, which means you start the level using the items. Unlike Super Mario Bros 3, although released around ten years before Larry-O Bros was even announced, it is a complete copy, the items effect both the main characters in different ways:

Sun
Larry-O: Makes him invincible for a limited amount of time. Larry-O can run straight through enemies without getting a single scratch - though the catch is he can't actually destroy enemies til the effects wear off.
Muigi: Because he wears a ginger beard, he is laughed at in the game. Getting the Sun item makes all the enemies invincible making Muigi have to run for his ginger life! Just touching an enemy will make him lose a life!

Weed
Larry-O: As this suggests, it is a drug. After Nintendo showed their support for the use of Magic Mushrooms, SCEJ thought nothing of including two brothers, one with a ginger beard, taking weed. When Larry-O takes it, he believes he has the power to fire meteors from his fingertips! He does somehow succeed in defeating enemies with this technique for some reason!
Muigi: Being ginger, very thin, lanky, and having poor bloodflow to his head so high, weed doesn't really help. Muigi just gets really dizzy and tends to fall over uncontrollably a lot. Unless you really hate Muigi, we reccomend you stay clear of weed.

Fungus: Eating wild mushrooms is not advised, but it doesn't stop gamers from making Larry-O and Muigi try it out.
Larry-O: For Larry-O, eating fungus makes him small, therefore he can hide, go to special areas an sneak past enemies without them noticing him.
Muigi: Because he is much, much taller than his older brother, he needs a higher 'dose' of fungus than he can get in the game for the effects to work properly. Instead of shrinking his whole body, eating fungus just shrinks his package, making more people laugh at him for his misfortune.

Other items that I'll let you discover throughout the game include the Tangerine suit, Sphynx Cat's fur coat (anyone with a Sphynx Cat as a pet will know what I'm on about...) and even an item called Larry-O's whistle - that apparently bikini-clad Pansy likes to blow.

Here's the storyline, as announced by the new Marketing Manager of SCEE, Will Fences:

"Once again, Princess Pansy has been kidnapped by the cruel giant lizard, Boozer. All he wanted was to test his new beer goggles on her almost completely revealed chest, but once again, the Larry-O brothers have a problem with that - even if Pansy doesn't! The Larry-O brothers have to travel through 8 totally unique and original worlds consisting of: The Mushroom Kingdom, Fire, Snow, Water, Desert, Forest, Toffo-land and Boozers Bar. It's your job to get them through it all, rescue the princess, and as a special bonus, she strips off altogether!"

Please note, Will Fences later announced after most media groups had left the conference, that the very special bonus was just a joke.

So there we have it, SCEE's latest announcement, the latest Larry-O Bros game, and the fake promise of seeing Princess Pansy's perfectly animated breasts. What do you mean, how do I know they're perfectly animated? Um....er....

Again, no official release date has been announced but Mr. Fences has used the word 'Soon' a lot...so expect to see it soon.

More news as we hear it!

SCEJ have now made it public about Boozer's sons and their evil acts upon the Kings! These are the facts given to us by Milk Shakee, office cleaner of the development team responsible for Super Larry-O Bros:

World 1:
Son: Sherryade Boozer - being a bit of a girl, Sherryade isn't really that much to worry about. Sherryade can't breath fire, and he often gets pains in his genitals whilst wearing his very camp, tight, pink sports leotard, so therefore he's quite slow at attacking. The best way to attack is to give him wedgies by jumping on his tail. Beating him will get you the magic dose of oestrogen which will make the big strong wrestler turn back into his good old frail self.

King: Sherryade has turned he king into a WWE Wrestler. Being camp, Sherryade just loves watching those nearly-naked greased-up butch men rolling round in enclosed areas. Not a very good image for the king is it?


World 2.
Son: Breezer Boozer - With the attitude of a teenager, though only being the age of a first-grader, this Boozer is very, very drunk! He will often throw empty bacardis at you, so just jump on them and they'll roll back into him. Beating Boozer will give you the magic mirror which will turn the King back to his old self.

King: As Breezer has the attitude of a teen, he enjoys a good old pornography movie. That's why he has turned the king into a naked female porn star! Ofcourse, this is to boost Sony's 'Adult image' though because of broadcasting and censorship laws, you wont see anything hardcore. Again, not a very good image for a que...king.


World 3.
Son: Jim McDonald - Not a biological son of King Boozer, more of a foster son. Jim McDonald got crippled in a nasty accident and is stuck in a wheelchair. Because of this, he got very depressed and drunk himself to an even greater depression. Naturally, he's a bit fed up (putting it mildly) with everyone so he tries to run them over in his wheelchair. The best way to defeat him is to trick him into rolling down the stairs at either side of the level. Beating him will get you a Cub Scout who's good at untying knots.

King: Jim McDonald couldn't be bothered to change the King into anything. Instead he paid Tyrone a fiver to tie the king to a lamp post with a knot that only a cub scout could undo!


World 4.
Son: Shandy Boozer - Preferring a little lemonade, Shandy can last a hell of a lot longer without getting completely knocked out of it with alcohol poisoning. However, this makes his bladder a lot fuller than the other Boozers. Finding away to attack his never-regions is the only way to defeat this Boozer. The item you win from defeating him is a pair of contact lenses.

King: Shandy Boozer just likes to take the urine, funnily enough. So he changed the king into a short, fat kid with very cheap looking glasses. A bit sad that Sony had to resort to this kind of treatment, considering many gamers are in this situation. But ofcourse it's more 'adult' so it's cool. The good thing is you are able to rescue the king :)


World 5.
Son: Peanut Boozer - NOt venturing far from the peanut jar at the pub's bar, Peanut Boozer is known for consuming more salty snacks than any other pub-goer in the world! Obviously, those Pork Scratchings and Peanuts have made him very large in the belly, and the wind he gets is terrible! That's his form of attack though. He points his backside towards Larry-O and releases a greeny-brown cloud of gas towards him. Very deadly indeed. Defeating Peanut Boozer will get you an oxygen tank.

King: The King has been gassed out so much by Peanut that he needs oxygen! Otherwise he's bound to lose the will to live after inhaling all that toxic gas!

At this point, a black van with darkened windows pulled up, a guy in uniform dragged Milk Shakee into it and drove off again. Sadly, we don't have any more news on the last two Boozers, but after hearing this from a Sony worker, we're definately excited by this one!

I agree with TOSH Edgy. I think you're lying. And if you're not, this game is obviously a viscious act of plagurism on Super MARIO Bros. I can't belive you didn't see that!?!

[The above is obviously extracting the urine and dripping with sarcasm]

There's quite a while yet - SCEJ are still debating on whether to let the ginger mechanic have his own game...
