Gator Panic

Gator Panic, also known as Wacky Gator in North America and as Wani Wani Panic (ワニワニパニック, Wani Wani Panic^?) in Japan, is an elemecha redemption game created by Namco in 1989.

Gameplay

Gameplay is similar to that of Whack-A-Mole, but features alligators coming through the wall of the cabinet. The player must hit the incoming alligators with a foam mallet. The game becomes aggressively harder as the player hits more and more gators. If the player forgets to hit an alligator, a light will flash on a molded turtle on the cabinet. The player can lose points if the gators take too many hits on the turtle. The game ends when the time limit runs out, and tickets can emerge based on how many hits on the alligators.
