Quest for the Shaven Yak Starring Ren Hoëk & Stimpy is a platform game for the Sega Game Gear. It was also released for the Sega Master System exclusively in Brazil, although a European release was listed for March 1994.[7]
Story
Stimpy finds a pair of hooves. Ren concludes that the Great Shaven Yak must have left them there on Yak Shaving Day. Ren and Stimpy begin a journey to find the Shaven Yak and return his hooves to him to save Yak Shaving Day.
Gameplay
The game is a side-scrolling platformer. Before each stage, the player can choose between Ren Höek and Stimpy the Cat. Each character has his separate own health bar and lives. The characters move with and and crouch with . They jump with . They can launch a projectile, throwing toothbrushes for Ren or hurling a hairball for Stimpy, with . The projectile can be angled upward with + or fired while crouching with +. Some enemies cannot be defeated and must be evaded instead.
Ren has an extra high jump with +; Stimpy, instead, does a ground stomp with + that can break branches. Both abilities can be used to access hidden areas that the other character cannot reach. Logs and canoes sometimes appear to act as floating platforms.
Each character's health is represented by baby bottle nipples, up to five, and goes down by half a point each time the character takes damage. There are items scattered throughout the stages that replenish the character's health or provide extra lives. The character's health is retained from stage to stage. The character loses a life when he runs out of health. A character becomes unavailable to play after losing all of his lives. Once both characters lose all of their lives, the game ends, but the player starts the game with three continues.
