Acho que foi um dos games que eu mais joguei na infância no meu Polystation já comentado aqui em outro review e foi o primeiro jogo que eu zerei na vida. É aquele jogo bom pra se divertir e relaxar quando você não quer jogar algo mais complexo ou pra fugir um pouco e desestressar daquele jogo difícil que tá te matando por dentro por não conseguir passar de algum boss chato ou de certa fase. É um jogo bem curto, com pixel art bonitinha e musiquinha feliz. Um bom jogo.


Another Konami game on the Famicom I picked up for quite cheap, this is one I'd heard good things about aaaages ago, but have just never got around to trying. I remember hearing it framed as some sort of Mario 3 wannabee that was also pretty good, so "something Mario 3-ish, I guess" is what I went in expecting. What I got was a bit more Konami than that, but I can certainly see where the comparisons come from aesthetically. It took me about 1.5 hours to beat the game on original hardware.

The story for the game is pretty simple. Buster Bunny goes to his TV one day to see Montana Max broadcasting a message to him. He's kidnapped Babs! The only way to get her back is for Buster to collect all the keys to Max's mansions scattered around the land. But that's easier said than done, as they're all guarded (in some respect) by Max's goons! It's a very cut and dry story, but it does the job fine of setting the stakes.

This is one of the many Konami-made action platformers of the era with changeable characters as a mechanic to help add more depth to the game without the need for more buttons. When you enter one of the game's six stages, you have the choice to pick between Plucky Duck (who can hover by mashing the button, just like tanuki Mario), Dizzy Devil (who gets an attack by pressing the button that kills things he touches), or Furrball the cat (who can wall climb) to be your partner through the stage. However, you can't just swap between them at will, and you need to find the star powerup in a stage to swap between characters. Thankfully, you can just scroll the balloon it came out of off the screen to get another if you change your mind, but it feels a bit needlessly awkward.

The stages themselves are pretty hard, and a lot of that comes down to the fact that it's one hit between you and death. Though you can find a heart powerup in a stage to give you an extra hit, they're increasingly rare as you go through the game so you can't rely on them to save you (I'm not sure stages 5 and 6 have one in them at all). The stage design is usually pretty good and fair, but especially in later stages projectiles or enemies that appear suddenly from the scenery or from the screen scrolling too fast can kill you in ways that are hardly fair. It's a mix of good challenge and "just memorize it" challenge, with the entirety of the (admittedly fairly short) final stage being a long sequence of "just do it nearly perfect" platforming sections that send you back to the start of the stage should you fail. At the very least the bosses are pretty good and not too hard, but dang can the stages be mean.

The presentation is a mixed bag but overall quite nice. On the more positive end, this is a very pretty looking Famicom game, with sprites that are well detailed while not being too big, albeit the enemy variety isn't terribly large (not that it really needs to be). The less positive side is that while the music there is well done, there isn't very much of it, and a nice rendition of the Tiny Toons theme song plays through at least half of the game's stages.


Verdict: Recommended. It's on the harder side, but this is a really solid Famicom action platformer. If you use save states, it'll make this a much more manageable and easy time, I imagine, but even if you don't, it's something that can likely be conquered in an evening if you put the time and energy in. It certainly ain't Mario 3 beyond how the color palette and sprite quality looks, but it's still a quite solid Famicom game worth looking into.

The first game I decided to rate here; It was the one who made me most curious one I was a child and used to watch my aunt and uncle break their heads trying to finish it up on a tape of a pirate Nes, and me and my other aunt who were much younger would play from time to time just to fall at a pit. But yet, the scenarios, the songs, the gameplay of it were still so fun, dynamic and vivid when I went back for it on a pc emulator. This game, unlikely said bellow, it isn't a generic plataform game, it may seem simpler then mario and others but it is still so unique and fun to emerge yourself in. My only complain are the last levels, after the alien world, they are very harsh in did but not in a fun way, it seems harsh and rushed, and for that I would give a 3.5, but thats something my heart won't allow, maybe for the nostalgia of playing my aunts and uncle, nor maybe just because it's a dammn good game until the final stages of it ( a little bit like crash twin sanity), so I'll give it a 5 cause this is a game that is def worth more then 3,4.

Very fun game, and definitely a noticable sparkle in quality over the many other licensed NES games. That being said, it really is just Tiny Toon themed SMB3, with some added difficulty from some of the lack of QoL aspects, like only having 1-2 lives and not really having control on when you can change character powers. Speaking of which, I solely used the green duck (can you tell I've never seen the show lol) until the final level which I then relied on the pink Tasmanian devil to blow up everything in my path. I never used the cat because why would you! The duck flies and swims, whats more useful than that! I would literally switch to the duck and then AVOID the balls that make you switch back to little Bugs Bunny because I didn't want to lose the flying ability!

Very enjoyable and very short platformer, with its last level being way more cruel than I expected, but I had fun! I recommend it to people looking for fun NES platformers, but I agree with an earlier reviewer here that Tiny Toon Adventures isn't necessarily a "Hidden Gem", but still a fairly good time.

3/5
