Description
Taz the Tasmanian Devil battles enemies by spinning in this Sega Mega Drive platformer. Published by Sega, released in the United States in October 1992. Colourful platformer with Taz spinning to attack, varied jungle and city levels and enemy bosses.
A Sega platformer, Taz-Mania has the Tasmanian Devil spin through a jungle full of enemies in search of giant eggs, in an adaptation of the cartoon. The spin attack and the cartoon humor make its charm, but the repetitive level design and a presentation less polished than its sequel place it below. The pace stays decent for short sessions. A curiosity for fans of retro cartoon platforming and Taz nostalgics, especially as a milestone before Escape from Mars.
