Story
★★★★★
"Classic"
The Tasmanian devil whirls in a continuous animation that stays readable despite the speed, and his expression changes with every object swallowed. The Martian scenery, red craters, ships, ice caves, is painted in bright flats with thick outlines faithful to the original cartoon.

Taz in Escape from Mars (Mega Drive) price, value & rarity
Is Taz in Escape from Mars still worth playing in 2026?
A Sega platformer, Taz in Escape from Mars has the Tasmanian Devil flee the red planet by spinning through colorful, inventive levels, a more accomplished sequel to Taz-Mania. The spin attack, the cartoon humor and the careful art direction make it a pleasant, well-paced mascot platformer. The difficulty stays measured and the length decent. A nice pick for fans of retro cartoon platforming and Looney Tunes nostalgics on the Mega Drive.
