3 / 5

Gameplay

Passable Sonic and/or Adv Island clone - gotta continuously collect clocks to maintain time remaining
No attack, just jump and bob enemies who are only the obstacles
Tons of collectables - the main draw is to get a high score
Decent controls although there's a delay stopping as it completes the run animation.

3 / 5

Level Design

Just get to the end of the level. Follows DKC model of tons of optional collectables.
Lots of blind jumps
Easy to spot platforms
Collectables include picnic baskets you can bounce off one before they disappear. These are arranged in a line or in a pattern and challenge is to collect them all.
Repetitive use of the same picnic basket arrangements.
Better than the standard "collect all keys before exiting" design of so many licensed titles.

3 / 5

Theme

Just collect stuff

5 / 5

Art Style

Very nice. Everything looks great, cartoony, and not flat like the THQ crap. Extra parallax scrolling compared to the SNES version. Not fram drops either.

3 / 5

Audio

Nice music and sound for the genre and matches the game well. A slight step down from the SNES version but still good.

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...

Chrono Trigger for SNES

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...
