I just looked up and it seems the developer of this game, Phoenix Interactive, only did that game back then, and then did some ubisoft shovelware on Wii and DS many years later.

But if you want another mediocre cartoon-licensed platformer with somewhat interesting but still clearly B-class aesthetics, sounds and controls, try Taz-Mania on Sega Genesis.
I actually loved it as a kid.

This game is just... Off. The ambiance is weird in all the worlds. The psycho strings when climbing the "woah 3D" tree really made me uneasy. Then the western world and Atlantis feel creepy and empty. Also when I got to the mine, the season made the sky in the one screen prelude blood red. Freaking unsettling. After that is just become a less than average platformer.

Taz-mania on the Gameboy was pretty dope.

I remember renting this game as a kid. However, I do not remember ANYTHING about it except for the general setting of the intro level, and a robot boss that I remember not being able to beat no matter how much I tried.

Well, I just watched a playthrough of it. As I was watching the video, I kid you not, fucking NOTHING past the intro level joggled any semblance of a childhood memory. I was beginning to wonder if I didn't make the robot up or it was from another game. It was all foreign to me. Until he got to the last boss, that is. Surprise surprise, it's the robot I remember not being able to beat.

Turns out I actually managed to play through the entire game back then, and for some reason it seems I was too dumb to try going to the left or right to change floors. And I don't remember anything about it other than the beginning and the last boss.

What a trip.

>> No.3208260

>>3208259
Ok, now that I think about it, maybe I didn't play through the whole game myself. There's a good chance my older brother was the one who played through most of it, and he handed me the controller at the last level. I do recall it was pretty late at night and he was asleep when I was struggling with the last boss, and I never played the game again after I got a Game Over, so maybe that's what happened, and why I don't remember much else about the game.

Sorry for posting "e-celeb" shit but whatever, I think they're one of the only guys willing to care about reviewing Tom and Jerry games. It's just like reading a /vr/ thread, retards arguing about shovelware on Sega and Nintendo and discussing about which one is shittier.

Mickey Mania is pretty cool, but I think it's not as good as Sega or Capcom's disney games, but it's still good and has amazing visuals.
