Doki (bootleg video game)

Doki is a bootleg Mega Drive and SNES game created by Jogos Brasileiros in 2005 starring the primary Discovery Kids mascot at the time and was produced by Ricardo Janeiro. Rumors speculated that the game was a mystery.

Summary
Doki is a platformer featuring assets and mechanics from other games. Doki collects mushrooms to get a 1-up and can't jump on enemies. The BG layer is the same as the FG layer (albeit the colors being semi-transparent and the scrolling speed being slower, in order to create the illusion of 3D, which is known as parallax scrolling). Just like Mario and other classic video games, Doki starts with 3 lives; losing all lives will result in a Game Over. All the sprites (except for Doki) are stolen from Mario Fan Games Galaxy. All The music (except for mm2wood.mid) are stolen from VGMusic and downgraded for playback on the Mega Drive's sound chip, as well as the SNES's SPC700 chip. If there are too many enemies on screen, the game will slow down. Ihe enemies will flicker if there are more than 80 (20 per scanline) sprites on screen, and if there are much more enemies, the game will crash, which was done due to the Mega Drive and SNES's limitations. Since this game was made in Brazil, the game was entirely in Portuguese.

Development
On March 31st, 2005, Ricardo Janeiro's son was watching Discovery Kids and a white dog with a green hat appeared. The son said what is the name of this dog. Ricardo Janeiro did some research and found out that the name of the dog his son was talking about is Doki. They wanted to make a game that his son could enjoy. The result was a Mega Drive and SNES game, simply titled Doki. It was sold at flea markets and kiosks.
