− | + | '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (クールスポット) is a 1993 platform video game developed and published by [[Virgin Interactive]] starring the then-mascot of [[wikipedia:7 Up|7 Up]], the 7 Up spot. It is a sequel to ''Spot: The Video Game'', a puzzle game similar to ''Ataxx'' initially released on the [[Commodore Amiga]] and [[Atari ST]]. | |
− | + | ''Cool Spot'' was developed with the [[Sega Mega Drive]] in mind, and due to its success was ported to other platforms, including the [[Amiga]], [[DOS]] computers, [[Game Boy]], [[Sega Game Gear]], [[Sega Master System]], and [[Super NES]]. During development, it was referred to as '''''Spot: The Quest For Cool'''''. | |
The game was followed by the isometric platformer ''[[Spot Goes to Hollywood]]'' in 1995. | The game was followed by the isometric platformer ''[[Spot Goes to Hollywood]]'' in 1995. | ||

− | The | + | ===Mega Drive version=== |
+ | The game is a platformer played as 7 Up mascot Spot. The goal is to collect "cool points," red spots scattered throughout each level. Once enough have been found, the player must find the fellow Spot, who is captured in a cage, and release him by shooting the lock. The levels are filled with enemies and contain platforming elements such as balloons that Spot can hang from and hazards such as spikes or water traps that Spot must avoid. Spot is moved with {{left}} and {{right}}. He jumps with {{C}} and jumps higher with {{up}}+{{C}}. Enemies can be defeated by firing Spot's fizz-like projectile with {{A}}. The projectile can be directed with the D-Pad (including diagonals) and is also used to open the cages. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Spot's health is indicated by a picture of himself in the status bar, which starts to peel off as he takes damage from enemies or hazards. Additionally, each level is timed. Spot loses a life if he runs out of health or runs out of time. There are items throughout the levels that replenish health and time. If Spot runs out of lives, the game ends, but the player can earn continues in the bonus levels. The player has an opportunity to earn an extra life at the end of each level based on the amount of time left. | ||
− | + | There are three difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, and Hard), which are selectable in the options before starting the game. Spot starts with 4 extra lives on Easy, 3 on Normal, and 2 on Hard. The difficulty level also affects the number of enemies, the placement of the cage, and the number of cool points that must be collected to complete the level or access the bonus level. | |

+ | Bonus levels are unlocked by collecting a certain number of cool points, which varies depending on the difficulty level, on top of the number needed for level completion. The level takes place inside a 7 Up bottle. Spot can use bubbles to explore the bottle and find one of the letters in "UNCOLA" ("VIRGIN" in PAL version), which gives the player a continue. Bonus levels, like regular levels, also contain 100 cool points, and the player earns an extra life for collecting all of them. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Virgin ran a contest in the United States awarding an unspecified "cool prize" for players who collected all of the letters and took a picture of the ending and sent it in.{{fileref|Cool Spot MD US Manual.pdf|page=13}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Master System and Game Gear versions=== | ||
+ | The 8-bit versions play identically to the Mega Drive version. The goal is to collect a certain number of "cool points," red spots scattered throughout each level, and then find the cage and shoot its lock to free the captured Spot. Spot moves with {{left}} and {{right}}. In the Master System version, {{1}} jumps and {{2}} shoots. In the Game Gear version, {{2}} jumps and {{1}} shoots. Spot's projectile can be aimed using the D-Pad. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Spot's health is indicated by a picture of himself in the status area, which starts to peel off as he takes damage from enemies or hazards. Spot has a limited amount of time to complete each level. He loses a life if he runs out of health or runs out of time. If Spot runs out of lives, the game ends, but the player can earn continues in the bonus levels. The player can earn an extra life at the end of each level based on the amount of time left and the number of cool points collected. | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are three difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, and Hard), which are selectable in the options before starting the game. The difficulty level affects the number of cool points that must be collected to complete the level or access the bonus level. | ||

+ | ====Bonus level==== | ||
+ | {{ScreenThumb|Cool Spot SMS, Bonus Stage.png|width=200|Bonus level}} | ||
+ | Bonus levels are played after completing the current level if Spot collects a certain number of extra cool points (depending on the difficulty level). The level takes place inside a 7 Up bottle, and Spot can use bubbles to climb up the bottle. The top of the bottle contains one of the letters in "VIRGIN," and collecting the letter awards a continue. Like regular levels, the bonus levels are timed. They contain cool points that can be collected for an extra life and sometimes bombs that harm Spot. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Versions== | ||
+ | ''Cool Spot'' was developed with the Sega Mega Drive in mind before being ported to other platforms. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As Spot stood as a mascot for 7 Up, ''Cool Spot'' was originally intended to help promote the 7 Up soft drink, however curiously most 7 Up branding was removed following its initial North American release. The PAL and subsequent Super NES versions still credit the 7 Up company for the license to use the Spot character, but all branded bottles are replaced with unlabeled alternatives (such as the bottle Spot rides in the introduction). | ||
+ | |||
+ | The PAL Mega Drive versions were partially optimised to have correct music speed, but the gameplay is slower than in the NTSC version. As a result, forcing the game to run at 60Hz causes the music to play too fast. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Most conversions of the game retain the same core gameplay as seen in the Mega Drive version, however in the case of weaker systems such as the Master System and Game Gear, graphics and audio are cut back. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Super NES version, released several months after the Mega Drive original, offers more colourful (and in some cases, more "animated") graphics, but at the expense of screen resolution. In this case, the assets, designed for the Mega Drive's 320x224 display, were not re-worked for the 256x224 resolution of the Super NES, and subsequently appear wider than originally intended (alongside a reduced field of view). However, the Super NES version is able to make use of semi-transparent sprites which were not achievable on standard Mega Drive hardware. | ||

Cool Spot (クールスポット) is a 1993 platform video game developed and published by Virgin Interactive starring the then-mascot of 7 Up, the 7 Up spot. It is a sequel to Spot: The Video Game, a puzzle game similar to Ataxx initially released on the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST.
Cool Spot was developed with the Sega Mega Drive in mind, and due to its success was ported to other platforms, including the Amiga, DOS computers, Game Boy, Sega Game Gear, Sega Master System, and Super NES. During development, it was referred to as Spot: The Quest For Cool.
The game was followed by the isometric platformer Spot Goes to Hollywood in 1995.

Gameplay
Mega Drive version
The game is a platformer played as 7 Up mascot Spot. The goal is to collect "cool points," red spots scattered throughout each level. Once enough have been found, the player must find the fellow Spot, who is captured in a cage, and release him by shooting the lock. The levels are filled with enemies and contain platforming elements such as balloons that Spot can hang from and hazards such as spikes or water traps that Spot must avoid. Spot is moved with and . He jumps with and jumps higher with +. Enemies can be defeated by firing Spot's fizz-like projectile with . The projectile can be directed with the D-Pad (including diagonals) and is also used to open the cages.
Spot's health is indicated by a picture of himself in the status bar, which starts to peel off as he takes damage from enemies or hazards. Additionally, each level is timed. Spot loses a life if he runs out of health or runs out of time. There are items throughout the levels that replenish health and time. If Spot runs out of lives, the game ends, but the player can earn continues in the bonus levels. The player has an opportunity to earn an extra life at the end of each level based on the amount of time left.
There are three difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, and Hard), which are selectable in the options before starting the game. Spot starts with 4 extra lives on Easy, 3 on Normal, and 2 on Hard. The difficulty level also affects the number of enemies, the placement of the cage, and the number of cool points that must be collected to complete the level or access the bonus level.
Items

Bonus level
Bonus levels are unlocked by collecting a certain number of cool points, which varies depending on the difficulty level, on top of the number needed for level completion. The level takes place inside a 7 Up bottle. Spot can use bubbles to explore the bottle and find one of the letters in "UNCOLA" ("VIRGIN" in PAL version), which gives the player a continue. Bonus levels, like regular levels, also contain 100 cool points, and the player earns an extra life for collecting all of them.
Virgin ran a contest in the United States awarding an unspecified "cool prize" for players who collected all of the letters and took a picture of the ending and sent it in.[18]
Master System and Game Gear versions
The 8-bit versions play identically to the Mega Drive version. The goal is to collect a certain number of "cool points," red spots scattered throughout each level, and then find the cage and shoot its lock to free the captured Spot. Spot moves with and . In the Master System version, jumps and shoots. In the Game Gear version, jumps and shoots. Spot's projectile can be aimed using the D-Pad.
Spot's health is indicated by a picture of himself in the status area, which starts to peel off as he takes damage from enemies or hazards. Spot has a limited amount of time to complete each level. He loses a life if he runs out of health or runs out of time. If Spot runs out of lives, the game ends, but the player can earn continues in the bonus levels. The player can earn an extra life at the end of each level based on the amount of time left and the number of cool points collected.
There are three difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, and Hard), which are selectable in the options before starting the game. The difficulty level affects the number of cool points that must be collected to complete the level or access the bonus level.

Bonus level
Bonus levels are played after completing the current level if Spot collects a certain number of extra cool points (depending on the difficulty level). The level takes place inside a 7 Up bottle, and Spot can use bubbles to climb up the bottle. The top of the bottle contains one of the letters in "VIRGIN," and collecting the letter awards a continue. Like regular levels, the bonus levels are timed. They contain cool points that can be collected for an extra life and sometimes bombs that harm Spot.
Versions
Cool Spot was developed with the Sega Mega Drive in mind before being ported to other platforms.
As Spot stood as a mascot for 7 Up, Cool Spot was originally intended to help promote the 7 Up soft drink, however curiously most 7 Up branding was removed following its initial North American release. The PAL and subsequent Super NES versions still credit the 7 Up company for the license to use the Spot character, but all branded bottles are replaced with unlabeled alternatives (such as the bottle Spot rides in the introduction).
The PAL Mega Drive versions were partially optimised to have correct music speed, but the gameplay is slower than in the NTSC version. As a result, forcing the game to run at 60Hz causes the music to play too fast.
Most conversions of the game retain the same core gameplay as seen in the Mega Drive version, however in the case of weaker systems such as the Master System and Game Gear, graphics and audio are cut back.
The Super NES version, released several months after the Mega Drive original, offers more colourful (and in some cases, more "animated") graphics, but at the expense of screen resolution. In this case, the assets, designed for the Mega Drive's 320x224 display, were not re-worked for the 256x224 resolution of the Super NES, and subsequently appear wider than originally intended (alongside a reduced field of view). However, the Super NES version is able to make use of semi-transparent sprites which were not achievable on standard Mega Drive hardware.
