Arcade Joe & Mac Returns "2 players" by Pepper-Color in 14:27.655

Published on 8/16/2026
Joe & Mac Returns is a single-screen platforming game that was developed by Data East only for the arcades. It is the fourth game in the Joe & Mac series and differs from the the previous games where instead of being a side-scrolling platformer, it is a combat-focused platformer where the goal is to eliminate every enemy in each level. As the game progresses, both Joe and Mac can earn more points by rescuing damsels who can shower the the heroes with food to collect.
In this run, Pepper-Color plays the game on the Very Hard difficulty with both Joe and Mac and beats all sorts of stereotypical prehistoric humans and animals, including characters and bosses that are anachronistic to the supposedly Cretaceous setting, in record time.
