# Jack · the hero who floats

a character of the MBJ (Mighty Bomb Jack, Tecmo 1986/87) game-world — emergence: natural. moniker ⟦Jack:MBJ:6642fe⟧

**character —** a figure of the rescue, rendered from the game (no real-world cast — a game-world carries no .shadow).

**who —** Jack — 'Mighty,' the caped hero who feathers his way up the pyramid to rescue the royal family of Pamera.
**what —** The player's avatar: a one-hit-fragile little figure whose whole power is a gentle, controllable float and a steady refusal of greed.
**where —** Climbing all sixteen levels, action zone to Palace room to the demon at the top.
**why —** Because the game needs a hero defined by restraint as much as reflex — the one who can leave the tenth coin.
**how —** By floating with feathered timing, chaining bombs, cycling suits, and resisting the pyramid's constant temptation.

**the seal —** I don't leap, I float — and the hardest move in the whole pyramid is leaving the coin I don't need.
