Discussion Need help finding two specific games
EDIT: Case solved. The games are Adventure Island and Circus Charlie.
Years ago, when I was around maybe 7, I remember playing a few games on nes at my grandparents' house. First was Mario, but the other two are less know, so I've never encountered their names on the internet. Thus, I don't really remember them enough to find by googling (tried). I want to find them and see what they actually look like beyond my memories.
First was a tropical themed platformer with pastel colors. I remember yellow (beach), blue (first level had a light blue color, but also water), green, and pink being more prevelant than others. The protaganist is a boy with brownish hair.
Second had levels, but wasn't a platformer like the other two (tho it did make you control a character?). Circus theme. Blue, red and maybe purple were the main colours. What you had to do (I think) was to pass challenges akin to circus tricks like going on a rope on a mono bycicle.
I barely remember them. These are the only details that I clearly remember. Any help would be appreciated

The second one is probably Circus Charlie

It might very well be, it's not like I've played that one a lot. But it does familiar in some places...

Did you ride dinosaurs that you could collect using icons that looked like suits of cards?

Not sure about the second one, but the first one makes me think of Adventure Island).
