Only a handful on the site are aware of the series, but Umihara Kawase. It's an indie game that released on the Super Famicom in Japan back in 1994. It's interesting as being one of the few indie games Nintendo legitimately allowed on their system and came before the big indie boom.

That aside though, the game is amazing XD it's a physics platformer in which you control a 19yr old sushi chef who uses her fishing rod to jump across ledges, climb up pencils, and jump over spikes all at the same time avoiding walking fish thatll kill you if you don't daze them and put them in your backpack.

I love the music for the game as well.

If anyone is interested, the game is avaliable on Steam, the entire series. Each game is like $5-10. Or if you're hardcore into the series like me, get the DS version. It's got the SNES version and the PS1 version and it works amazingly. But if not the game is also on eShop and PSN. However, the eShop version is only okay... it doesnt come with the SNES original, runs at 30fps, and is the final game in the series labeled Yumi's Odd Odyssey...

Here's a link to some of the gameplay:

This game is worth playing if you're interested. It's my fave indie game series ever made. I even interviewed the creator in an unreleased VGChartz article I made back in January of 2016 and he's pretty awesome
