Get ready for an epic adventure of bloodthirsty pirates and buried treasure. Treasure Planet brings Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island not just right up-to-date but into the future--one in which the spaceship Legacy is overrun by mutinous pirates, led by the cyborg John Silver. You'll take on the role of Jim as he solar-surfs and performs action moves with the help of Morph, who can transform into various items. Embark on a voyage through 10 levels, minigames, and boss challenges as you view original artwork, behind-the-scenes game footage, and stored movie clips.

As someone who’s a huge fan of the movie this game is just alright.
It really skims the plot of the movie which is fine since it’s a GBA game but it was kinda funny to me how sections of this played out.
Aesthetically I like how the game looks and the isometric camera is something I’m weirdly nostalgic for. Levels have a variety of designs and you unlock new powers at a pretty good rate. There’s even some optional exploration but it’s really just to collect coins to earn extra lives so it’s not really worth it.
Gameplay is kinda hit or miss, there’s some pretty good puzzles and most platform sections aren’t too bad. However by the end of the game there’s some spots that are just super unfair. The Solar Surfer levels are a huge pain to play to the point that I imagine a bunch of kids who played this gave up when they got to these levels.
While I wouldn’t play it again it was neat to play a video game adaptation of one of my favourite movies!

I liked this as a kid but don't know how well it holds up today. I lowkey really like isometric platformers and shit, they're real fun.
Speaking of, go play Landstalker
