Pepsiman (video game)
is an action video game developed by KID, and released on March 4, 1999, in Japan for the PlayStation. It is based on Pepsi's superhero mascot with the same name, and has the player avoiding obstacles by running, dashing, and jumping, while Pepsiman automatically runs forward through each of the game's stages. The game was made on a low budget; this prompted the decision to make videos in-between stages that show an American man drinking Pepsi, as they were cheap to produce. The game also features 3D cutscenes, which the future visual novel writer Kotaro Uchikoshi was the 3D modeler for. While an American publisher did look into acquiring the rights to publish the game in America, it remained a Japan-exclusive game in the end.
Reviewers frequently compared the game to other games, including ''Crash Bandicoot'', and commented on its simplicity and its price, which was thought to be low. A writer for ''Complex'' included it on a list of company-branded games that "didn't suck", commenting that it is not a bad game as long as the player can tolerate the large amount of advertisement in it, while a reviewer at Destructoid said that the game was funny but not great, calling it "charmingly brain-dead". According to Uchikoshi, the game did not sell well.
==Gameplay==
''Pepsiman'' is an action game〔 that consists of four stages, each divided into smaller segments,〔 and each involving the superhero Pepsiman saving a person who is in need of a drink, such as a military man in the middle of a desert, by giving them a can of Pepsi.〔 The stages are all based on real locations, such as San Francisco and the Tokyo subway. The game is played from a third-person perspective, with Pepsiman automatically running forwards through the stage,〔 sometimes running through people's living rooms.〔 The player aims to dodge obstacles, such as cars, construction cranes, and people,〔 as well as Pepsi-branded obstacles, including a Pepsi truck.〔 The player does this by using four different moves: running, dashing, jumping, and super-jumping.〔 The player gains points by collecting Pepsi cans.〔
In some stages, Pepsiman gets a steel drum over his head, which inverts the controls, and in some, he uses a skateboard. Throughout each stage is a number of checkpoints; if the player gets hit by obstacles too many times, they have to restart from the latest checkpoint. Each stage ends with Pepsiman being chased by an object,〔 including a giant Pepsi can.〔 In between stages, the player is shown videos of an American man drinking Pepsi and eating chips and pizza while watching television.〔
