There's something special about the era of gaming where some small Japanese studio is hired to make a licensed video game about a C-grade 90's movie and they make an incoherent anime-eyed pile of garbage that bears nothing in common with the source material. I play this and think to myself "I bet this is what Yuji Naka would feel if he watched an episode of Sonic Underground".
As far as 2D platformers on the SNES go, this is certainly one of them. Stiff controls, cheap enemy placement that relies on memorization (this game loves dropping enemies from the ceiling), mediocre level themes, a difficulty curve so steep that cheat codes feel like a necessity, a long password system...this game truly has it all. It's also been a long time since I've played a game that actively punishes you if you pick the wrong character. Do not pick the T-Rex. God help you if you do.
I do have one nice thing to say about this game: I like that the final boss is a dragon with his hands permanently tucked in his cool letterman jacket named "Mr. Big".
