Now as for the SNES version, it’s sort of a challenge to really describe the way that it plays. While the controls are fine, the relentless tediousness of the level design really brings them both down, ESPECIALLY in the Game Boy version. Getting the Genesis and Game Boy versions out of the way, they can best be summed up as dull, mediocre platformers that don’t really bring anything new to the table. With that said, the GENESIS wins this one.Īfter a temporary victory by the Genesis, the SNES has managed to come back with a vengeance. Heck, in some cases they even mix up tunes from the show! As for the Game Boy version’s soundtrack, it’s alright, though it’s more or less a downgraded edition of the one from the Genesis. The Genesis version on the other hand takes those verbs with profound grace, being pure ear candy in every sense of the word, with the music fitting each and every stage that you’ll find yourself in. Don’t get me wrong, the SNES version still has a good amount of decently catchy tunes, but none that I would really classify as “memorable”. And in this case, the Genesis version easily has the best sound.

While the SNES may have won with great success in the previous round, that doesn’t mean it’ll carry over to the other ones. So, I’ll be crowning the SNES as the victor. Despite some smoother and arguably more detailed animations and backgrounds, they kind of lack the charm of the SNES version. The Genesis and Game Boy versions, while still good-looking, don’t exactly manage to hold a candle. Not only is the spritework of the characters 100% spot-on, but the backgrounds are delightfully varied and vibrant, offering one of the most lively games to ever come out on the SNES. In what seems to be a running gag whenever I do a Konami game in these articles, the SNES version offers the best translation of the show’s style into a video game format. Seeing as how I’ve already covered a fair share of licensed Konami titles, some good, and some bad, how does this one stack up? Let’s find out, shall we? And seeing as how I already covered a few games by them in the past, I thought it wouldn’t hurt to take a look at yet another one, that of which being a game based off of the most beloved cartoons to ever come out of the nineties, Animaniacs. However, like many other video game corporations, they also had their fair share of licensed games, some of them good, and others being throughly mediocre.

Back when they actually gave two craps about the industry, Konami were one of the most beloved developers/publishers of the classic age, with a resume of titles such as Metal Gear, Contra, and Rocket Knight Adventures.
