Item Description

Hanna-Barbera's The Pirates of Dark Water was one of the more ambitious cartoons of the early '90s, a serialized fantasy quest across the alien ocean world of Mer, and Sunsoft's Super Nintendo adaptation turns that quest into a sturdy side-scrolling brawler. Prince Ren, the resourceful Tula and the gruff pirate Ioz set out to stop the villain Bloth and the spreading Dark Water in search of the lost Treasures of Rule, and a second player can join in for co-op.

It plays in the tradition of Final Fight and Streets of Rage, with a few smart touches. The three heroes differ in strength and agility but share the same core toolkit: a fast attack for combos, a single heavy strike, blocking, grabs and throws, dash attacks on the run and a crowd-clearing special that costs a slice of life energy to use. Many stages also throw hazards into the mix, from chasms and falling rocks to spikes shooting out of the ground, so you are watching your footing as well as your back.

Fans of the show should know this is the SNES's own take on the license, a separate game from the Genesis release, which came from a different developer and went in its own direction. The cartoon's run was short, which makes its games a rare chance to spend more time in its world, and this is the version built around couch co-op. It is a natural pick for a shelf of '90s cartoon tie-ins and a less obvious addition to a lineup of SNES beat 'em ups.

About the game

Based on a cartoon series by the same name, The Pirates of Dark Water is a side scrolling fighting game similar to Final Fight or Streets of Rage. The player chooses a character, from among Prince Ren and his two companions Tula and Ioz, who differ in strength and agility, but who use the same basic attacks. There are two attack buttons, one for fast attacks and combinations and one for a single heavy attack. Other controls include: blocking attacks, grabbing and throwing opponents, dash attacks while running, and a special attack that hits multiple enemies consuming life energy at the same time. Most levels also require you to avoid obstacles like chasms, falling rocks or spikes that shoot out of the ground.
