Question
I spent an hour or so on gamespot.com going through they list of TurboGrafx-16 games but had no luck.
The game I'm thinking of was for TurboGrafx-16, it was on a credit card style medium, not a cd or cartridge (at least, I don't know if it was available on those or not, but I had the card style).
- It was a side scroller
- As a person, you work your way through a level collecting an item that would let you go into the next level in a mech suit.
- You collected balls while in the mech suit levels to enhance the suit's powers
- The setting was (at least early on) an oriental setting while in person mode and i want to say you could collect golden cat statues
- Mech suit levels were more futuristic looking
- As a person, you had a meelee weapon like a sword or knife and possible throwing stars
- As a mech, you had guns and/or lasers
- You only fought bosses when you were in the mech suit
I'll add additional details as I recall them.
Answer
Keith Courage in Alpha Zones, perhaps?
In the overworld, Keith is a simple adventurous human with a short sword and three heart containers. The overworld, while simple, is where Keith will collect coins and spend those coins to obtain "bolt bombs," health regeneration, and better equipment for the underworld.
Transporting to the underworld places Keith in the Nova Suit, a suit of armor that grants him extra hearts on his health bar and a better sword depending on what was purchased in the overworld. Additionally, Keith is now able to use the "bolt bombs." When used, bolt bombs are similar to bullets that are fired in the eight cardinal directions depending on how many are left.
At the end of each underworld level is a boss.
