Running Boy: Star Soldier no Himitsu

1986

This anime was made by Hudson Soft, which created the "Star Soldier" game. Its designer, Yoichi Takahashi, appeared in a cameo and sang the theme songs. By coincidence, the film was released the same day as "Super Mario Brothers," also based on a video game. The film was a box-office failure in Japan. (Source: bcdb.com/)
