Pinkie is a 1994 platform video game developed by Data Design Interactive and originally published by Millennium Interactive for the Amiga. A Super Nintendo Entertainment System version was released by Piko Interactive in 2018. In the game, the player assumes the role of Pinkie, who is tasked with collecting dinosaur eggs through the galaxy to prevent their extinction. The player controls Pinkie and his "Pinkie Pod" vehicle across 50 levels featuring their own variety of enemies and obstacles divided into five planets. The Pinkie Pod can perform various actions, and the player can obtain upgrades to augment its features.
Pinkie began production in January 1993 on the Amiga platform when co-designers Stuart Green and Scott Williams discussed what they liked in games, settling to make a game that was playable as Mario with puzzles and "everything in there". The game was developed primarily on the Amiga, although it was being made simultaneously for other systems, which led the team with a "console-ish" thought process and designed it to be console-orientated. The music was scored by Darren Wood and the record label Station 2 Station. Versions for Amiga CD32, Game Gear, and Sega Mega Drive were planned but never released. It garnered average reception from the Amiga gaming press.
