Daffy Duck in Hollywood (Sega Master System review)

Developer: Probe Software
Publisher: Sega
Released: 1994

Daffy Duck in Hollywood is an action-platformer that was also released on the Sega Game Gear (1994) and Sega Genesis (1995).

+ Tight level design breaks down each stage into three smaller areas to minimise backtracking and help you stay orientated.

+ Combat has a Bubble Bobble (1986, Arcade) vibe and quickly trying to capture / pop foes to eliminate them is entertaining.

+ Arms you with an impressive array of weaponry, and the game allows you to choose from multiple levels at any time.

+ Hidden areas are fun to locate, and managing to collect all nine Daffy Duck letters for an extra life is gratifying.

- Has some unavoidable trial-and-error, and unlike the 16-bit version this suffers from irritating one-hit deaths. 

- Assault and Peppered stage removes your bubble gun in favour of brawling and throwing stars, but the variety is marginal.

- Not always clear which foes are immune, and like Cool Spot (1993, Sega Master System) boss battles are entirely absent.
