Bucky O'Hare was a fairly late release by Konami on the NES, debuting in 1992. In this game you play the role of Bucky who must rescue several of his crew members on different planets. Each of these crew members have unique abilities and when you rescue one you then gain the ability to switch to using that crew member as needed.
The game generally got positive reviews with the one common complaint being that it is a very difficult game. Odd since you would think this character would appeal to younger kids. Being such a late release, the graphics and sound are very good overall and the game plays very much like Mega Man.
Unfortunately, there haven't been any re-releases or sequels. If you do want to give this one a try then you will have to track down an original cartridge or fire up an emulator. If you won't get too frustrated by the difficulty, it is a worthwhile addition to your collection though.

I plan to review this game someday. It gets a lot of mentions in hidden gems videos and articles, but I've never fired it up. I've heard that its really difficult.
Now here's a classic I've been looking for for a long time. I recall it being super fun and I'd love to pick up a copy for myself one day.
I remember watching the cartoon as a kid and collecting the figurines. :)
What a throwback!
I just thought he was the coolest video game character
