Jump to.Pepsiman (Japanese: ペプシマン Hepburn: Pepushiman) is an action video game developed and published by KID for the PlayStation. It was released in Japan in March 1999, and is based on American carbonated soft drink Pepsi’s superhero mascot with the same name, and focuses the player on avoiding obstacles by running, dashing, and jumping, while Pepsiman automatically runs forward through each of the game’s stages.The game was made with a low budget, prompting the decision to make videos in-between stages that show a man drinking Pepsi, as they were cheap to produce. The game also features 3D cutscenes, which the future visual novel writer Kotaro Uchikoshi created 3D models for. While an American publisher did look into acquiring the rights to publish the game in the United States, it ended up being a Japan-exclusive game.ePSXe is a fantastic PlayStation emulator so you can play and enjoy PlayStaion games from your Android.

GameplayPepsiman is an action game that consists of four stages, each divided into smaller segments, and each involving the superhero Pepsiman saving a person who is in need of a drink, such as a military man in the middle of a desert, by giving them a can of Pepsi. The stages are all based on real locations, such as San Francisco and New York City.
Pepsiman’s model is still well designed, despite being a bit pixelated. A lot of references to the Pepsiman commercials are present. The actor Mike Butters reprises his role as the Pepsi addict man in the cutscenes for the AVGN review. He was known to have portrayed as Paul in Saw movies.
The game is played from a third-person perspective, with Pepsiman automatically running forwards through the stage, sometimes running through people’s living rooms. The player aims to dodge obstacles, such as cars, construction cranes, and people, as well as Pepsi-branded obstacles, including a Pepsi truck. The player does this by using four different moves: running, dashing, jumping, and super-jumping.
The player gains points by collecting Pepsi cans.
