The US NTSC edition of the squirrel platformer, European in origin then distributed on the flagship US market. The colourful, briskly animated platformer enjoys better exposure here, yet the US version stays low-key beside the era's in-house mascots. Collecting interest turns on a non-warped card box and a sealed copy, the bare cartridge remaining common; a likeable piece to round out a shelf of second-tier SNES platformers rather than a trophy.
Is Mr. Nutz still worth playing in 2026?
A platformer starring a plucky squirrel who clobbers enemies with his tail across colourful, varied stages. The tidy presentation and decent handling make it an honest platform game, but without the spark that sets the console's greats apart. Today it is played for its good-natured charm and reassuring feel rather than striking originality. A pleasant, accessible platformer, perfect in measured doses for the nostalgic.
