This game is so straightforward conceptually that it’s really hard to say much about it. The whole point of Taz-Mania is to have Taz run down a road, grab and eat Kiwis while avoiding many obstacles on the road. That’s it. There’s nothing more to it. Everything is shown from a limited behind the back perspective as Taz traverses 15 levels (plus 4 bonus stages) in Mode 7 levels. The number of Kiwis you have to eat increases as well as the obstacles. Many of them are pulled from the 90’s cartoon show. Fans will recognize characters such as Bull and Axl, Digeri Dingo and Wendal T. Wolf. The game is extremely repetitive in the obstacles you will have to overcome, which also include pits, chasms, she-devils and flying dinosaurs. These obstacles are amplified by a camera system that makes looking over hills very treacherous and can lead to some unfair incidents. The kiwis themselves are irritating and prone to strange behavior and their hitboxes are dodgy at times. Dodgy is a good word for the game in general. It has pretty visuals, a semi-decent soundtrack, and a game that goes out of its way to be frustrating. The good news is it doesn’t go any longer than it has to. How could it?
