History VideoGame / SutteHakkun

''Sutte Hakkun''[[note]]すってはっくん[[/note]] is a [[NoExportForYou Japan-only]] 1997 PuzzlePlatformer for the {{UsefulNotes/Satellaview}} [[UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem SNES]] addon.

In 2020, it was discovered that a second installment in the series known as ''Sutte Hakkun GB'' was developed for the UsefulNotes/GameBoy but never released. This version would have been significantly scaled down, lacking many of the gameplay elements of its console counterpart and keeping levels confined to a non-scrolling single screen.

The game was popular enough in Japan to recieve 2 sequels on the Satellaview, and a full-on cartridge release in 1999. All versions start off easy, but become NintendoHard the further you go into them.

* InfinityPlusOneSword: In order to properly unlock the solution mode, you need to [[spoiler:defeat [[BonusBoss Purple Makkun]] in all 10 of his Battle stages, which provide segments of the required cheat code. The last Battle Stage is hidden as a KaizoTrap at the end of the final normal stage (World 10-10),]] so by the time you unlock the mode, it's nothing but a BraggingRightsAward.

* BigBallOfViolence: Every time before the [[spoiler:Battle stages]], once Hakkun is pulled in by the Purple Makkun, this'll happen. Of course, [[CutsceneIncompetence for the sake of being able to play the]] [[spoiler:[[CutsceneIncompetence battle stages]]]], Hakkun will always lose the fight and get carried off.

* DifficultySpike: The game shows signs of getting tricky by World 1-8.
** The BS versions show signs even ''earlier.''
** Another spike occurs once you reach the 3rd island, where the game ''truly'' reaches GuideDangIt and NintendoHard levels.

* InfinityPlusOneSword: In order to properly unlock the solution mode, you need to [[spoiler:defeat [[BonusBoss Purple Makkun]] in all 10 of his Battle stages, which provide segments of the KonamiCode. The last Battle Stage is hidden as a KaizoTrap at the end of the final normal stage (World 10-10),]] so by the time you unlock the mode, it's nothing but a BraggingRightsAward.

* NoFairCheating: The cartridge release has a hidden solution mode if hints don't do you any good. If you use it, however, you receive ''no points'' for the stage and an '''even worse mark of shame''' is permanently attached to your save file, which also affects the ending.[[note]]If you're [[SchmuckBait that curious]] about how to get the mode, [[spoiler:go to the "view a solution" screen in Hakkun's Hut and enter [[KonamiCode L-A-R-L-B-R-L-Y-R-X-X-R-Start]], with the controller plugged into the second player port.]][[/note]]

* TakenForGranite: Absorb Rokkun and you'll become a heavy rock that can break glass after falling a certain height. You're still vulnerable to SpikesOfDoom, however.

* Averted with ''Sutte Hakkun GB'', there are no Rainbow Shards to collect and you simply progress from stage to stage in a linear order.

* DummiedOut: The cartridge release lacks the timed bonus levels from the BS versions despite their music data still existing in the game.

* NoobBridge: While the first few levels of the cartridge build can be solved without having to look through the tutorial, Stage 1-8 requires you to eject a block and lift it up by one space immediately afterwards by holding up on the Control Pad. ''Sutte Hakkun GB'', in response, would have never required this mechanic for the first world and players would be forced to watch a tutorial for it before entering the second world, which also shows that you can hold ejected blocks ontop of moving surfaces.

** While you are allowed some leeway with how many levels must be solved to unlock the different islands (25 out of 30 stages for island 2, 50 out of 60 stages for Iisland 3, and 75 out of 90 stages for the final island), you will need to collect ''every'' Rainbow Shard across all 100 stages to see the ending and unlock Time Attack and the EX stages.

* NoFairCheating: The cartridge release has a hidden solution mode if hints don't do you any good. If you use it, however, you recieve ''no points'' for the stage and an '''even worse mark of shame''' is permanently attached to your save file, which also affects the ending.[[note]]If you're [[SchmuckBait that curious]] about how to get the mode, [[spoiler:go to the "view a solution" screen in Hakkun's Hut and enter [[KonamiCode L-A-R-L-B-R-L-Y-R-X-X-R-Start]], with the controller plugged into the second player port.]][[/note]]

* GottaCatchThemAll: No matter the version, to beat the game, ''every Rainbow Shard MUST be collected.''

* LastLousyPoint: If you want to unlock all the sounds in the Sound Test, completing the entire game all the way through is not enough. [[spoiler:You need to use the hint/solution feature to receive the final sound, the "Penalty" jingle, which is not recommended unless you want to mess up your save data]]

* '''''Sutte Hakkun: Winter '98 Version''''' - A holiday themed version where Hakkun attempts to fix the "Friendliness Rainbow" of another island. Like ''BS Version 2'', it has only 3 worlds and 30 stages.

->While Hakkun and his friends were residing on the island of Shinboru, the "Happiness Rainbow" suddenly collapsed into [[PlotDevice several shards]]. The pieces scattered across the island, making collecting them all seem hopeless. Then, at that very moment, someone rose. It was [[TheHero the good-natured Hakkun]], or Sutte Hakkun. He decided to take on the task of retrieving the rainbow shards scattered across the island. And so, Hakkun, as a last resort, began his journey to search for the rainbow shards.....

The game involves Hakkun, a strange blob-like humanoid with a syringe-like beak who must collect scattered rainbow shards in order to restore the Happiness Rainbow to the island he lives on.
Within every stage, you'll control Hakkun and use his ability to inhale and exhale objects and paint to solve puzzles. These puzzles range from relatively simple to [[MoonLogicPuzzle downright ridiculous]], and there are ten per world, with a BonusStage for you to try if you manage to complete them all.

* '''''Sutte Hakkun''''' - The cartridge release, contains ''10 worlds'' and 4 islands, with an extra world for completing the game. Added a hint system (Which the game [[EasyModeMockery punishes you]] [[NoFairCheating for using]]).

* BigBallOfViolence: Every time before the Battle stages, once Hakkun is pulled in by the Purple Makkun, this'll happen. [[CutsceneIncompetence Of course, for the sake of being able to play the battle stages, Hakkun will always lose the fight and get carried off.]]

* ChestMonster: Blokkun and Tsubokkun, who disguse themselves as blocks and paint jars, respectively.

* EasyModeMockery: The game punishes you for using the hint mode by adding a mark of shame on the level select (an X is placed next to the stages you use hints on).

* NoFairCheating: The cartridge release has a hidden solution mode if hints don't do you any good. If you use it, however, an '''even worse mark of shame''' is permanently attached to your save file, which also affects the ending.

* ChestMonster: Blokkun and Tubokkun, who disguse themselves as blocks and paint jars, respectively.

* NoExportForYou: As per every Satellaview game.
