Speedy Gonzales: Los Gatos Bandidos

The best Looney Tunes themed Sonic clone


Genre: action - platform

Publisher: Sunsoft

Year: 1995

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 4

Gameplay Notes:

Another Looney Tunes themed Sonic clone Good camera gives Speedy 80% draw distance making it possible to navigate the levels without much trouble. Good workout for your reflexes but not unfair like so many Sonic clones. You also have a kick but no idea what it's used for. Run and run and collect/rescue mouses from their cages. Then find the exit. Fairly tight controls. Has some floatiness, but no worse than something like SMB


Level Design Score: 4

Level Design Notes:

Levels are mostly devoid of enemies, instead including tons of environmental elements to contend with. Well designed to let you run and run.


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

Of the Looney Tunes gang, Speedy is probably the best candidate to star in a video game.


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

Looks fantastic. Sprites are mercifully smaller than the other WB games, making the game much more playable in the process.


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

What happened to Sunsoft's audio department after the 8 bit era? This music is an assault on the ears. Ok sound effects and voice samples can't make up for this squishy, off-key mess of a soundtrack.


Overall Score: 73

Review ID: 517
