In their review, GamePro praised the clever usage of Bonk's various forms, the "crisp, cutesy quality" of the graphics, the easy controls, and the numerous bonus rounds, but nonetheless gave Super Bonk an overall negative assessment, concluding that platformer fans in general and Bonk fans in particular would find very little new content about the game.[6] In 1995, Total! ranked Super Bonk 44th on its Top 100 SNES Games summarizing: "Despite slightly awkward controls this is an amusing, well crafted and gripping platformer. It’s also very original in places."[7]
