Item Description

Taz eats everything, and that simple fact drives Taz-Mania on the Genesis. Inspired by a tale his father told him, the Tasmanian Devil sets off to find the egg of a giant prehistoric seabird, spinning, chomping and wrecking his way across the island over sixteen levels. Recreational Brainware built it for Sega in 1992, when the Taz-Mania cartoon was a fresh Fox Kids hit, and it captures the character's whirlwind energy in big, lively sprite animation.

His trademark spin is both weapon and transport: once Taz whips himself into a tornado, he can knock out most enemies in his path. The eating mechanic turns every pickup into a comic gamble. Most food restores health, hot peppers give him a fire-breath attack, stars make him briefly invincible, and bombs are best thrown at enemies rather than swallowed. The trip takes him through a desert, a jungle, a factory, a mine and ancient ruins, each with its own hazards.

The Genesis game shares its story with Sega's other Taz-Mania releases but has its own design and levels, so these stages belong to this cartridge. The animation and the sense of speed are the stars, giving Taz the same frantic, unpredictable personality he has on screen, while the platforming asks for more care than a cartoon license might suggest.

It is a bright, noisy snapshot of early-'90s cartoon television and a reminder of how much personality Sega's licensed platformers carried in their heyday, the kind of game that is as much fun to watch as it is to play.

About the game

A video game adaptation of the Taz-Mania cartoon, starring the Tasmanian Devil. One of several games based on the license, the Sega versions features the same story, but has a unique design and set of levels in the different platforms. Inspired by a tale his father told, Taz goes on a quest for the egg of a giant prehistoric seabird, which will lead him across the whole of Taz-Mania through 16 levels of platforming action. He must survive a desert, a jungle, a car factory, a mine and ancient ruins. Taz is able to run, jump, and spin fast to turn into his trademark whirlwind. While spinning, he can knock out most enemies he comes across. He can also pick up many different items and try to eat them or use them in another way. Most foods replenish his health, while eating hot peppers gives him a fire breath attack. Stars grant temporal invulnerability, while bombs should be thrown at enemies (and definitely not be eaten!).
