Rygar
From Wikipedia:
Rygar (アルゴスの戦士 はちゃめちゃ大進撃, Arugosu no Senshi Hachamecha Daishingeki?) is a fantasy-themed action-adventure platform game developed by Tecmo for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was released on April 14, 1987, in Japan for the Famicom as Argos no Senshi and later that year in the United States for the NES. A European release came in 1990. Rygar is a rough adaptation of an earlier arcade game of the same name, but the similarities are few. The main character, his weapon, and much of the enemies remain the same, but the gameplay of the NES version is quite different. While the arcade version is more of a standard side-scrolling action title, the NES Rygar is an open-ended action-adventure game like Metroid, which was also released at the time. At the beginning of the game, Rygar has access to some of the worlds, but as the game progresses, new areas open up as the result of finding items such as the grappling hook, crossbow, and wind pulley, which let him cross previously impassable obstacles.

This tape got worn thin when we were kids – and when rewatched as adults, the musical numbers and little jokes are even more appreciated. Who didn’t cheer for Yogi and Cindy to get together? Who didn’t find themselves surprised that Boo-Boo’s singing voice was so deep? Who didn’t threaten to send their little brother to the San Diego Zoo? (You guys did that, right? …right?)
