3	The ''Alfred Chicken'' series is a bizarre series of PuzzlePlatformer games made by Mindscape. The first game, simply titled ''Alfred Chicken'', was released for the Game Boy, Amiga, and NES. The sequel, titled ''Super Alfred Chicken'', was released for the SNES and is the lengthiest game in the series. A Platform/PlayStation version also exists, but only in Europe.

5	Alfred must save his egg-napped friends from the evil Meka-Chickens. Alfred can walk, jump, and peck balloons and ground switches. While he is in the air he can dive bomb enemies or springs. Dive bombing enemies will destroy them. Dive bombing springs will bounce Alfred much higher so he can reach platforms well above his normal jumping ability.

7	To complete a level, Alfred must find and peck all of the balloons, the last of which will take him to a boss fight.

11	* CartoonCheese: A whole type of stage is devoted to this.

13	* GoombaStomp: Dive bombing springs will bounce Alfred much higher.
14	* InstantRoast:
15	** Getting hit by a flame from a ceiling spout roasts him where he stands.
16	** Also, the continue screen for the SNES game has Alfred sleeping on a bomb. Let the clock run down and the bomb explodes, leaving a roast chicken on the Game Over screen.
17	* PuzzlePlatformer: If you're going to get all of the balloons and watering cans, strategy is required.
18	* RemovingTheHeadOrDestroyingTheBrain: Bosses can only be damaged by shooting their heads.
19	* SpikeBallsOfDoom: Spheres with 4 spikes are a common obstacle.
20	* SpikesOfDoom: You can walk across them using invulnerability in order to reach secret items.
21	* SpringsSpringsEverywhere: Springs can be used to get a vertical boost.
22	* TotallyRadical: Ads for the SNES game were full of 90's slang and talked the game up as an epic.
23	* UnexpectedGameplayChange: Boss battles are done as shoot-em-ups where you blast away at enemies in a spaceship.
24	* {{Wackyland}}: The land is populated by giant flowers, one powerup is literally a can of worms, and portals to other levels are alive, among many other oddities.
