Taz-Mania is an action-platformer that's exclusive to Sega's 8-bit console.
+ Stage 3-2 features some tricky platforming in treacherous caves, along with excellent use of verticality to test your skills.
+ Taz's spin attack is effective in all situations and the momentum-based physics (e.g. walking down slopes) are impressive.
- Controls aren't tight enough and Taz reacts rather sensitively and unpredictably to your inputs, especially when in mid-air.
- Collecting a star for temporary invincibility isn't as carefree as you'd expect, as you can still take damage from stray bombs.
- Bosses are armed with extremely simple attack patterns that can be spotted (and exploited) within a handful of seconds.
- Between stage text attempts to create a back story for your adventure, but it transitions away before it can be fully read.
