The story of Extra Life Bits

Kip's Quest was the cartridge every kid wanted that winter, and Extra Life Bits were the cereal version. Kip, a round kiwi bird with a jetpack and a tiny scarf, flew across the box. Pieces came as stars, hearts and lightning bolts. Eating three hearts in one spoonful meant extra lives, according to playground law.

Fun fact

The box included a cheat code that did absolutely nothing in the actual game, which kids refused to accept.
