Flying Hero

3 firemen rescue people and put out fires with standard firefighting equipment in the standard way; flying through the air by bouncing of a trampoline. The game mechanics are a bit odd but are basically a type of breakout/arkanoid style. Each stage consist of a burning building full of trapped civilians. You bounce your fireman up to grab people from their windows or extinguish flames. Catch jumpers to save their lives. The stage is complete when either all the flames are extinguished or all the people are evacuated. Various powerups appear to help. A remote bring a helicopter with various uses. A clock will freeze time. There are 1ups. A trumpet makes it rain to extinguish all flames immediately. A fire extinguisher can be used to extinguish a flaming trampoline.. A power-up lets you put out flames faster.. A trampoline makes you trampoline wider..A shirt grants temporary invincibility. A wand takes you inside the building; which is effectively a bonus stage. There are negative poweeups as well.

The box art and title screen actually give the titles as "フライング 飛ing ヒーロー" which is basicly Flying Flying Hero

The North American version, Blazebusters, was never released but the catalog number can be presumed to be NES-FZ-USA
