A decent Sonic clone that suffers with shoddy enemy placement in the back half. Buster can run like Sonic but once you hit the forest, there's no real chance to do so. There's good music, good graphics, and good difficulty. It's good, nothing more.

I will never understand the unreasonable difficulty of the last levels in old games, because in the beginning they are quite simple and fun. One of the simple mechanics of running - acceleration, turns into a dangerous one, because the further you go through the levels, the more various obstacles you come across that kill you the first time and you can’t do anything about it.

Никогда не пойму необоснованную сложность последних уровней в старых играх, ведь в начале они достаточно просты и веселые. Одна из простых механик бега - ускорение, превращается в опасную, ведь чем дальше проходишь уровни, тем больше попадаются разнообразные препятствия которые убивают тебя с первого раза и ты ничего не можешь поделать с этим.

Juego visualmente agradable, buena música, buenos controles, divertido, de una dificultas baja, buen juego para pasar el rato.

Me blames this game for my thalasophobia. Stupid sharks

one of the best retro games ever and the best sega genesis game


It was a big game for the Mega Drive to be honest.

Side scrolling platformer, varied levels with new enemies and traps in each area. Controls well enough. Not as detailed as the SNES game that released the year before but looks good for a Genesis game. You can build up speed and do slide attacks but the amount of time and obstacles make it unlikely to make use of this without advance level knowledge. Can jump off walls though most levels don't make use of it. Collecting 50 carrots let you summon friends to kill all enemies on the screen but there is almost no real reason to use this and when it might have helped I wouldn't have been able to get 50 carrots. Hit detection can be a bit off. Poor story doesn't make good use of license. Can move your head up but can't look up.

Konami never misses but the last eight levels suck donkey dick

The game is surprisingly good and manages to be quite memorable ...especially for what it seems to be a typical platformer with suspicious winks at Sonic and Mario.

The momentum and acceleration feels inventive and natural, and while the level design is nowhere near Sonic-quality, you can still find little pockets of streamlined speedrun potential that feel satisfying.

One of the best Tiny Toons games. Very fun and charming, and the graphics look awesome.

It could be the whole "childhood game" thing clouding my judgement and giving me a bias towards this game, but I think Buster's Hidden Treasure is an underrated classic for the Sega Genesis and probably the closest us Sega kids got to a Super Mario World on the system. Yes, you do have to deal with the unwieldy password system to save your progress, but exploring the levels and finding the secret levels was, as they said in the 90's, "awesome as hell", and the soundtrack is incredible.

it tries being sonic and mario at the same time and feels hideous
