Review
Also known as
ピノキオ

Control the wooden puppet in this platformer, running and jump-kicking through levels based on the Disney film to become a real boy.

The SNES version of Pinocchio, developed by Virgin Studios London and published by THQ/Black Pearl Software, was released in North America in November 1996. The legacy year 1995 likely refers to the Genesis version, which was released earlier. The original game on any platform is the SNES version, as it was the first commercial release.
