ClayFighter (SNES)

Clay Fighter is a fighting game that used claymation for its character graphics. The plot revolves around a bunch of freaks fighting for the title of King of the Circus.

What this has to do with the hilariously-rushed end boss, we don't know.

Disabled Special Move#

I'm the bomb!

Game Genie code 6280-DD6F will re-enable one of The Blob's moves that was disabled in the final version: Blob turns into a bomb, then explodes after a couple of seconds, hurting both himself and the opponent. Kind of a pointless move, which was probably why it was disabled in the first place.
