Soccer Kid is a video game that was released in 1994 for the Super NES, 3DO Interactive Multiplayer and Amiga. Its title for the Super NES in the United States is The Adventures of Kid Kleets. It was re-released for the Game Boy Advance on September 30, 2002 and the PlayStation on December 13, 2003.

While the title might suggest a sports game, this is in fact a platform game - the goal was to guide a little soccer player boy through various levels, using his soccer ball as the main tool. The player was able to perform runs, shots, bicycle kicks, headers and other sorts of soccer moves to either advance in the level or eliminate enemies.

[edit] 3DO Version

The 3DO version of the game begins when Soccer Kid is waiting for the World Cup to start. However, the alien pirate Scab is scanning for trophies to add to his collection and starts beaming up the World Cup using his spaceship. While he beams the trophy into space, he collides with a meteor, blowing the Cup into five pieces that fall in random places around the world. It is up to Soccer Kid to save the day. The locations of the Cup Pieces are in these five countries, respectively: England, Italy, Russia, Japan, USA.
