Released: 1994
The Smurfs is a platformer that was only released in Europe.
+ Includes auto-scrolling levels to switch things up that are seemingly inspired by Donkey Kong Country (1994, SNES).
+ Catchy music tracks that range from upbeat to more serious / sombre depending on the stage setting.
- With only ten brief stages and three pedestrian boss fights, it won't be long before you're watching the end credits.
- Despite the cutesy exterior, the action is surprisingly tough from the outset and the difficulty curve is almost back-to-front.
- The collision detection is wonky and you'll likely lose many lives by falling straight through platform objects.
- Colour scheme throughout is generally drab and unappealing, with little in the way of graphical tile detail.
