Armadillo (video game)

Armadillo (アルマジロ) is a platform video game, published by IGS in 1991 for the Family Computer.

The player controls a yellow armadillo with a red hat named Billy the Shell.

Between levels, the player moves around on a map screen, similar to Super Mario Bros. 3.

The map screen consists of many small squares, which the player can "capture" one at a time, after which they're crossed out and can be moved across freely.

A sequel called Armadillo Gaiden was also in the making for the Nintendo Game Boy, however it instead got relicensed and sold as Ultraman Ball.
