Tasmanian Devil: Munching Madness (Nintendo Game Boy Color, 1999)

Product Specs

Description

The Tasmanian Devil's best friend, Wendel T. Wolf, has been wolf-napped by Bull and Axl. Help Taz rescue his pal by whirling your way across nine themed levels. Your journey will take you through Taz's home island of Tasmania, the heart of Australia's outback, the Great Wall of China, down the slippery slopes of Switzerland, and other adventurous locations. As in the famous Warner Bros. cartoons, this video game version of Taz is an eating machine. You must gobble all the food in a level before you can proceed to the next. Other items include Energy Hearts, which increase your energy; Orange Juice, which gives you temporary invulnerability; Chili Peppers, which enable you to spit three homing missiles; Turbo, which gives you temporary super speed; and 1-Ups, which earn you extra tries. Each level also has five Gold Medallions to collect, some of which are guarded by bosses. Each level is viewed from an angled, overhead perspective. As you run and jump around the various locales, enemies such as pesky crabs, natives, giant snowmen, acrobatic warriors, piranhas, and tourists will get in your way. You can whirl them into oblivion, spit on them (as long as you have food in storage), or simply avoid them. Other dangers include quicksand, molten lava, spike pits, barge-filled canals, and more. To help you in your cause, you can get tips from friends that appear throughout the game.
