Gameplay

Each event has an explanation given and some advice on how to play it. Why is this the only game in this genre to do this?!
Has a Mario Party-style recap after each event with some bonus points awarded.

Level Design

ICE CREAM THROW - Gallery shooter with a cursor. Hit targets like a at a carnival. Fun with a bit of variety in how the targets move. 3 other players are throwing so you gotta be quick.
CHICKEN DASH - Button mash and then stop before the end of a cliff. Basically just memorize how long to mash and then when to brake. Trial and error.
WEIGHTLIFTING - Another button masher but you have to alternate between A and B. This one will give you carpal tunnel.
SAUCER THROW - Discus. Once again, button mash with A & B.
OBSTACLE COURSE - You and the other contestants all run up the screen by, guess what, button mashing. It's pointless and purely luck based.
BIRDMAN - Once again, button mash. This time you also use the d-pad to steer a bit. My forearm aches at this point.
FREESTYLE SKIING - Easily the best event yet but that's not saying much. It's the first one that involves no mashing.

Theme

Tiny Toons are cute aren't they? This might be Olympic Summer Games but it has an adorable skin pull over it.

Art Style

Lovely artwork. Nice job Konami.

Audio

Again, great sound and music. Konami at its peak.

Hey gamers. I first published this blog in July 2024. That initial release included my thoughts about every game that was released in North America during the 16-bit era.  At the time I was underway with the second, and final, phase of this project - to play and review every 16-bit title playable by an English speaker, regardless of region. As of right now, that goal has been reached. What lies before you is a heap of reviews for every game I could play on the following consoles: Super Nintendo/Super Famicom (1204 total) North America (716) Japan (450) Europe/PAL (38)  Sega Genesis/Mega Drive (849) North America (704) Japan (94) Europe/PAL (51) Sega CD/Mega Drive CD (158) North America (141) Japan (12) Europe/PAL (5) TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine (255) North America (95) Japan (160) TurboGrafx-16 CD/PC Engine CD (163) North America (44) Japan (119) ...

Super Hydlide for Genesis

Review #4565 Super Hydlide Easily the worst game of the 16 bit era Genesis 1990 Seismic Adventure Adventure › Overhead X 2 / 100 You've been warned Screenshot used for review/reference purposes. 0 / 5 Gameplay Zelda clone... in theory. Includes an unbelievably annoying weight system, limiting both what you can carry and what your character can use as a weapon. If you’re overloaded, you are unable to move. After buying a few things at the weapons shop I thought the game was broken. I had to Google it and read about this weight mechanic. So stupid. It makes the game nigh unplayable. Even with a minimal inventory of a knife, a helm, and two food rations I could barely walk. The game has a clock and calendar and it took me 12 game hours to walk from the Shop to the exit to attempt combat. By that...

Review #109 Chrono Trigger Only by mastering time itself do you stand a chance against Lavos. SNES 1995 Square RPG RPG › Japanese A 100 / 100 Classic Screenshot used for review/reference purposes. 5 / 5 Gameplay Battle system is special. There's an optional Active Battle System and an innovative Single and Team techniques system. No grinding necessary. An assortment of sidequests and minigames like the actions you take at the Millennial Fair which influence how the trial plays out. One thing that I greatly appreciate is that you are never alone in a one-character party. You are joined by 3 other playable characters within the first hour of play. Being able to switch your party members on the fly is also a welcome quality of life feature. No random battles. The Game+ feature! What an awes...
