Animaniacs is a video game released in 1994 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. The game is based on the animated series with the same name and, unlike other platformers, the player has to run from the enemies instead of fighting them. Most of the main characters and supporting cast from the animated series are featured in the game as well, including Yakko, Wakko, Dot and Pinky and the Brain. The game was developed and published by Konami. The Game Boy version was released one year after the first installment, in 1995.
The game for Sega Mega Drive/Genesis begins with the Warner Brothers and Sister welcoming you to their videogame. The main story is that the Warner Brothers and Sister want to be closer to their favorite movie stars, so Yakko tells them to open a shop and sell a movie there.
There were four different levels in the game, which can be entered in any order. The player must reach the end of the level and beat the boss if he wants to obtain a piece of the movie. After he clears all four levels, the player must travel and beat the final boss of the game, Pinky and the Brain.
The player controls Yakko, Wakko and Dot, and switches the control between them to use their skills at maximum. Yakko has a paddleball to stun enemies and can push objects, including crates, while Wakko uses a mallet to hit switches, break objects and light fuses. The third character, Dot, is able to trigger actions needed to progress by blowing kisses.
The characters have their own health indicators and a fixed number of lives, which can be increased by obtaining 100 stars or a small golden form of their faces.
The SNES version is different and features another type of movement: forwards, backwards and from side to side. This type of movement is usually featured in beat ‘em ups, but this time Animaniacs has it. Pinky and the Brain have a plan to conquer the world by deciding to steal the script to the Greatest Movie. The player has to retrieve the 24 pages of the script, as his final target. Characters have no health bar, no lives or special abilities. The game for SNES is more difficult than the one for Super Farmicon, as the Genesis is called in Japan.
The version for SNES received good feedback from the audience, being voted with 7.3 out of 10, while the one for Genesis was rated with 7.4 on the same scale.
Game Reviews
Animaniacs is a side-scrolling action game with easy puzzles based on the animated TV series. The Warner kids, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot have escaped the water tower again and are on a quest to retrieve movie memorabilia from the Warner Bros. studio lot.
There are 4 stages in the game, and in each stage the Animaniacs must work as a team to get past obstacles and enemies. Wakko can use his hammer to smash things, Dot can blow kisses to charm simple minded enemies and Yakko can pull or push boxes.
Feel a little wacky. Then join Yakko, Wakko, and Dot in Animaniacs. This 1994-1995 release, developed by Konami, became a popular franchise of video games following the wacked out cartoon series on television. This single player, platform style game, developed for SNES and Sega Mega Drive / Genesis gaming systems, have very different gamplays for the systems. In the Genesis version, the Warner Brothers and Sister are attempting to try to get closer to their all time favorite movie stars by opening a movie memorabilia store. However, they must first obtain four objects form different movie sets. There are seven stages in this game with each level containing an object at the ending after defeating the level boss. Each level has a specific time limit and the characters can move forward, backwards, and side to side. The movements display the true uniqueness in this side-scrolling game. There are health indicators and a number of lives that increase by obtaining either a hundred stars or a small golden form of the character’s face. Their health indicators are located at the top of the screen. Another portion of the game shows Pinky and the Brain plotting to conquer the world by deciding to steal the script of the “Greatest Movie ever” while it was under development. The CEO, however, asks the Warner Brothers and Sister to retrieve all 24 pages of the script.
The SNES version of Animaniacs does not have a health bar, lives, or special abilities. The game ends when all the characters are captured. The game also offers power ups in a slot machine style at the bottom of the screen. Once the player receives enough coins it can be used to make the character invincible or back to life. During the game, you will come across small robots with white block heads, red bodies, and yellow appendages. These robots work for Pinky and the Brain. This single player, Konami creation consists of six levels: Fantasy Studio, Sci-Fi Studio, Aquatic Studio, Adventure Studio, the Water Tower, and the Editing Room.
