Description
Platformer featuring characters from the Animaniacs animated series across varied levels. Published by Konami, released in Japan in 1994. Yakko, Wakko and Dot running through film studio, city and forest settings to recover stolen scripts, cartoon humor and quips, colorful visuals faithful to the series. Adaptation of the animated TV series on Super Nintendo.
Super Famicom release of a Konami tie-in drawn from the Warner series. As the Japanese edition of a platformer that stayed home, it appeals mainly to 16-bit cartoon-licence collectors and Konami completists, a quiet corner of the publisher's catalogue. An intact SFC cardboard box with spine card is what sets a copy apart, since bare carts remain easy to find. A modest niche piece prized for its animated-show charm rather than any strong market pull.
Is Animaniacs still worth playing in 2026?
A platformer from Konami, Animaniacs draws on the zany world of the Warner cartoon with the three Warners and a cooperation system between characters with complementary abilities. The cartoon humour, the expressive animations and the collect the items level structure stay charming. The slightly peculiar handling and uneven difficulty can throw players. An endearing platformer that will delight nostalgics of the animated series and fans of Konami's 16 bit craft.
