Sega Genesis Collection - Flicky Cheats and Unlockables (PSP)

Player controls Flicky, a bird which has to save the Chirps (Piopio in Japan) from housecats. The player has to collect all of the Chirps and guide them through the exit. The player has to avoid the cat, Tiger (Nyannan) and the iguana, Iggy (Choro). They can also be killed by throwing items at them.

Players start with two lives and can gain more by acquiring certain scores, however there is a maximum of five lives they can attain. There are 48 proper levels ("rounds") in the game. Completing these yields a "Congratulations" message, followed by the possibility of playing through the game again at a faster speed.

These levels are numbered 49, 50 and so on and levels which previously did not contain the Iggy now do contain it. Furthermore, some throwable items are replaced with different ones. Once the game has been completed a second time (passing level 96 = fast version of 48), the game repeats again, but there is no speed increase (i.e. level 97 is identical to level 49) and the game simply carries on in this fashion until the player loses all his/her lives.

The Flicky birds in the Sonic the Hedgehog games are derived from the bird in the Flicky arcade game. This is most obvious in Sonic 3D Blast (subtitled Flickies' Island in Europe and Japan), where the birds, which not only resemble but are explicitly named Flickies, follow Sonic around after being found in the same way the Chirps would follow Flicky in this game. Other mechanics were also similar, such as losing Flickies that happen to touch an enemy or hazard, or losing them all if Sonic did (though unlike Flicky Sonic could, depending on the circumstances, survive a hit). The point system (extra points awarded for rescuing Flickies/Chirps together instead of one at a time) had the same principle, as well. (Wikipedia)
