Introduction
Super Onion Boy is a retro-style 2D platformer game that draws heavy inspiration from classic games like Super Mario. In this pixel adventure, you take on the role of Super Onion Boy, a brave onion-headed hero with a mission to rescue a kidnapped princess. The princess has been captured by a terrible monster and imprisoned in a magical bubble, and it’s up to you to navigate through challenging levels, defeat enemies, and overcome obstacles to save her. Along the way, you’ll collect coins, stars, and power-ups to aid in your quest, facing off against epic bosses in a nostalgic, family-friendly gaming experience.
