Too stiff and frustrating.
Its a great little game. Quick to beat and fun to master! I love the music but I might be a little broken! Need to do a speedrun and put it up on Speedrun.com
This Christmas morning I made a big mistake, I got out of bed.
Some kids were over for the afternoon and spotted my CRT setup and asked to play something, it was then I subconsciously went to turn on my Sega Genesis and moved the cursor of my MegaEverdrive's menu to Taz-Mania. I could've simply just put on Sonic 2 or even Rocket Knight Adventures as a form of kid friendly entertainment, but somewhere in my mind I was bent on destruction.
The joke was on me however, as after about ten minutes of them floundering about on the second stage not knowing how to traverse Taz-Mania's leap of faith style platforming, the controller found it's way back to it's owner. They had the time of their life after that, watching me immediately get flattened into the ground by the truck boss entering the stage without warning, and bursting into laughter at the hundreds of times I slammed into obstacles on the minecart stage that could potentially get Battletoads to respond to it's cacophonous mating calls that make up it's poor attempt at a dynamic soundtrack. It's a bit hard to describe, it's kind of like if the world's most flaccid digitized slide whistle accompanied your every movement. It's a far cry from Desert Demolition's masterful attempt on the same system.
I felled Taz-Mania this day, but at what cost? My stomach has exploded so many times from mean-spirited bomb placement, I've gotten hypothermia in real life from the amount of times I fell in frozen water, and have been zapped dozens of times by pulling the wrong lever.
Well... at least they had a good time.

If you like mediocre plataformers and Frank Zappa's "Jazz from Hell" album, then this is the perfect game for you!
Taz-Mania (1992): Sólo tiene un problema, pero a su vez es lo peor que puede ser un juego de esta época: Es aburrido, mucho. Un plataformas 2D simplón, de tirar para adelante y repetir el mismo patrón. Al menos no se alarga demasiado y no se hace pesado (4,95)
Joguei pouco porém joguei o suficiente pra perceber que esse jogo não iria ser interessante, a trilha sonora não me pegou nenhum pouco e a arte é bem da ruinzinha.
Simple but pleasing platformer. Nice graphics, a little difficult to control, but it has its charms. Jump about the place, eating everything in sight. Remember the Taz cartoon show from the 90s? Yeah, that one.
It's fine.
In 1992, some gaming company managed to squeeze an actual garbage fire onto a Game Gear cartridge. The framerate of a first grader's flip book meets the sound of tying catnip to a cat's face and throwing it at a piano to present 9 painful levels (mostly auto-scrollers) featuring everyone's 10th favorite Looney Tunes character. Taz-Mania is a game with zero redeeming qualities, and is best left forgotten, much like how the developers forgot to add "fun" to their video game for children.
