I never reviewed the first Tiny Toon Adventures game on Famicom, it was actually quite good. Though that was probably because Konami stole code from Nintendo's game Super Mario Bros. 3. Still despite their questionable way of developing that game, it was fun and I liked it. The sequel however is a significant downgrade. In fact a video I watched last night said it was "The most disappointing game on the Famicom."
This game goes all in with the gimmicks with there only being 5 levels in the whole game. You spend tickets to get on the 4 levels available which involve stuff like riding a log on a river, bumper cars, moving on top of a moving train, and riding a rollercoaster. Sadly none of them are good and only the train level isn't too terrible. The rollercoaster is seriously bad trial and error nonsense and the bumper car one is so frustrating while trying to give me a goddamn seizure!
The final level is a platformer with Buster and it's okay but the controls aren't as good probably because it's not doing what the first game did. It's trying to be a maze but I didn't have much trouble with it. It also has the final boss which there were only 2 in the game. Both are pretty easy and nothing special.
The game looks and sounds great but the game is nothing but great. I don't really know what Konami was thinking with this one. Usually they can at least make a decent game by this era and this was the 2nd to last game they would do for the system with F-1 Sensation being the last and no I'm not counting the rereleases of Akumajou Dracula, Moero Twinbee, and Upa. Oddly Tiny Toon Adventures would still get games on the Super Famicom even though the show would end right around when this game came out. Still at the end of the day, it's best to avoid this one.
Hmm? What made this one the most disappointing game on the system? Oh right I should explain that. You see in Japan, this game uses the same VRC7 chip that Lagrange Point used. That chip is what made that RPG really impressive for the Famicom. But it also just isn't used for anything special for this Tiny Toon game. In fact it seems to only be used for the memory mapping. So yeah it's not even about the actual game.
