Playing through Act 1 of Taz-Mania on the Super Nintendo (SNES). Release Date: 1993

A friend of mine had this when I was growing up and we tried valiantly on a few occasions to beat it but we always fell short.

Thanks to the great visuals and sound I still get a nice nostalgia hit booting this up and it's fun too, for awhile.

It pains me to say that I'm not a huge fan of the actual gameplay these days. Probably partially because I'm bad at the game but after Act 1 it gets pretty tedious. It starts off really easy, the yellow kiwis you're supposed to catch to progress are slow and obey the rules for the most part.

But after a few lvls the kiwis turn into total trolls, out maneuvering you, zooming ahead and instantly stopping at will and I SWEAR they straight up vanish sometimes. And they add so many more to catch each level... its exhausting.

I end up just mashing the grab button like a madman. Not to mention all the other obstacles they start throwing at you in rapid succession just slow the game to a crawl.

If you get hit by a vehicle, or run into a tree you have to button mash specific buttons like the d-pad when you are squished into an accordion shape. The other drivers are heat seeking missiles too, crossing over into your lane at the last second to ruin your day.

I wasn't able to jump over any of the vehicles either, the hit boxes are just too massive. Act 2 introduce a new threat of a pterodactyl that will grab you if you jump and carry you back down the road as well. I shudder to think of what other time wasting obstacles are introduced later lol

I did play through act two but it was a disaster and would have been painful to watch.

All that complaining out of the way, I do actually like this game. I have some great memories of it and I'm certain anyone would enjoy it on pure charm alone.

Anyway, sorry for the book, I've been contemplating doing more commentated videos to explain my thoughts during gameplay. I just don't have an ideal setup for it right now.

What do you think of Taz-Mania? Do you have any memories of this game? Please share in the comments below, I love reading that stuff.

Thanks for Watching!
