Hey Mike, I've got some tips that will help you. You might want to take a picture of this post unless you think you can remember it all. 1. Dorothy can kill those mice with her kick. 2. Doors that lead to small rooms with a brick can be taken advantage of, because the brick will respawn every time you enter. 3. You do not lose the bricks you've collected when you die, but the bricks will respawn in the level. 4. You can see how many tickets of each color you have in the HUD next to where Dorothy's shoes are. See the colored lines? Each one is a ticket you've collected, and you need 6 of each of these to enter the final level. 5. The Toto arrow maze puzzle works like this: When you land on an arrow, you *have* to move in the arrow's direction until you land on another arrow, then you have to go in that arrows direction instead. If you land on a multi-directional space, you can go in any direction until you land on another arrow. Once you do you'll once again be forced to go in that arrows direction. You have to figure out how to get to the end space. 6. You've already figured out the dice puzzle. The game ends in failure if you roll a number that you can no longer add up to, since you've taken out those numbers. Beating it seems to require luck with your rolls. You just have to hope you still have the right numbers in play. Yes, it's kind of bullshit. 7. There is a vertical scrolling level towards the end of the game that you *need* to have the winged slippers to beat, otherwise you will not be able to make a jump. There are no winged slippers available in that level that I know of, so you'll have to get them from another level. 8. Tin Man is immune to fire 9. Cowardly Lion can climb trees I haven't quite watched this entire video yet, so disregard the stuff you've already figured out.
I wanted to timestamp all of the times he does his Gadget impression. I thought he'd be doing it a lot with the yellow bricks being such a big part of this game, but so far he hasn't done it :(
I literally had tears my eyes, and my stomach was in knots, while watching this. I only have 15 mins to watch tv in the morning before having to go to work and this has been cheering me up and making me laugh every morning for about a week now. It's like the most hilarious saga I've ever watched, Lol. What gamer has not experienced frustration such as this ?!?!
The funniest shit was when he had the wing slippers and didn't realise. Then he put himself through all this pain and torment trying to get the wing slippers again for no reason. I literally couldn't stop laughing.
Honestly mike thanks for addressing right away why you're playing this, because the first thing I thought when this vid loaded up was, in fact, "whyyy the f would you do this to yourself, playing this damn game". Respect man, you're doing the lord's work 🤟
4:47:48 When Mike realizes you do not lose the slippers when you die, and makes a sad face, entering the ever so long password in sadness is one of the funniest moments in this video 🤣.
Mike getting that password at the end was so satisfying to see. It all worked out fine in the end... at least until he continues to the next part of the game.
These are the kind of games I'd rent as a kid with no knowledge of it and be so pissed I wasted the rental, and you could exchange them, but parents wouldn't take you back!
I would say it's even worse(I played both as well). You pass through huge platforms in Wizard of Oz which doesn't make sense since there's no way you can actually pass through how big they are.
You know... while it is true we all like to laugh at Mike's pain... can we take a moment to acknowledge the fact that he has given anyone who watches this video a functional 9 lives password? like, if you look up "codes" they seem to be all about "x character already joined" or "x stage already beaten"... but there's no clear indicator that those are for a good ammount of bricks, tickets, OR lives... but Mike? he went as far as to get A CODE for NINE LIVES. and that's something
To be fair he is playing really badly around an hour later when he's trying to farm lives. I feel bad because it's actually really simple to do but he's focused on other things instead of getting lives the easy way.
When I was a little kid, like 6 or 7 I saw a play of the Wizard of Oz with my whole family at the high school where my grandparents worked. Shortly after my grandpa was shot and killed in a hunting accident and my family totally fell apart. That play made me want to become an actor which led to me becoming a writer and now I've written a book and a couple screenplays. The music in this video really took me back to that part of my childhood when things were a lot simpler. Thanks Mike, hah, I'm gonna have to watch the Wizard of Oz again sometime soon. Maybe I'll watch it with my mom and Gramma
@@mikematei I hope you know I say that with affection, I know I'm at least partially crazy as well. You're a very entertaining and genuine man. Thank you for everything
This mite be my new favorite stream just watching Mike do the corn stock level lol you and James should seriously do a James and Mike Monday on just that level. This is the funniest thing I've seen
Little did Mike know, but all he had to do was click his heels together three times and repeat "I beat this fucking game." Sadly, the good witch failed to tell Mike this, and so off on his adventure he went.
I love how you were getting legit pissed, that's exactly how I felt as a kid when I had this game I would try to play it I would get so frustrated and yell at the TV.
Something I admire about you Mike, is that no matter how you may feel about the game, you still stick with it to the end. I hardly gave you a fair shake when I'd watch you on James and Mike, but with how many episodes you guys record a day, it's hard to actually sit down and attempt to beat a game like this. So watching these vods or even the times I catch your streams, it feels like a 'homey' experience -- it reminds me of me and my brother doing the same as kids, just trying to beat our rental for the weekend or whatever game we picked up from the flea market. It's a great nostalgia boost, even if sometimes I scream at the screen for you to find something or pay attention to something! So, thanks for these videos, guy.
Faxctz at 1st I would just watch nerd vids then James and Mike and after seeing him play this on James and Mike I started watching his streams he earned every sub
interestingly, in the demo that plays when you're looking up the manual, there's apparently an extra life for the lion in level 2. I guess the extra lives for a character don't show up until after you get the character.
I actually bought this game when it first came out. I remember having to play each level twice in order to earn enough bricks to proceed. The platforming is terrible. Sometimes, one will find oneself achieving a foothold on certain things only to fall senselessly through identical graphics later. I still liked the game because The Wizard of Oz is so awesome that even LJN couldn't ruin it for me no matter what.
This game has a couple of really cool ideas. If the hit detection was good and they made a few tweaks here and there, this would have been a pretty dang good game. My guess is that they just ran out of time, otherwise I'm sure it would have been polished up. I really like the idea of slowly acquiring new characters and each playing differently, although they didn't quite make them different enough. They should have made certain ones walk faster or jump higher, but all they did was mostly just give each a unique attack. I feel like the cowardly lion should have been able to climb up certain things(such as trees.) They did pretty good with tin man, though. Not being able to jump is a huge drawback to using him, but it makes perfect sense, and he makes up for it by having 2 moves and strong defense.
Sometimes when i can't sleep, i will put on these live streams to help. Can't say this one helped much 🤣 FUUUUCk ! JEAYSSSUSS ! God I fuckin HAYTE THISS !! 10/10 would lol again
So did James actually beat this back in the day for the Nerd video? Impressive if he did. Love that episode. One of Mike's many great performances. One game I hope Mike plays eventually is the NES Friday The 13th game. I know on the episode of James and Mike Mondays he really didn't seem to care for it, but I'll bet that's one he could beat if he went back to it.
I actually feel bad for Mike suffering through this. One thing it did prompt me to do however, was go watch the Wizard Of Oz movie that I haven't seen for about 30 years. And I really enjoyed it. Thanks Mike!
It'd actually be kinda awesome if they used Return to Oz as a basis for a game. It could start off with a MGS style torture sequence where Dorothy has to resist the electroshock therapy, followed by an intense escape from the asylum/hospital with Ozma helping. The Nome King boss fight could rival Giygas in pure kid-inappropriate creepiness. Then you could have an ultra dark Game Over where Mombi turns around revealing that she's now wearing YOUR head on her body. Also mandatory: "DOROTHY GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALE!!!"
Mike is a legend compared to most Twitch Streamers! I appreciate taking a trip back to the past and watch someone stream a nostalgic game that was in my generation. Thanks Cinemassacre! You rule!!!!
I’ve been playing this game for a few hours and it just seems like the developers were intentionally trying not to make an easy game by making it unnecessarily difficult. It’s best to play the game with save states.
I give you mad respect for playing this game it looked brutally painful and thanks for the laugh bro👌🏾👍🏾✌🏾 not sure if you realized it already but at 32:12 that spring is how you get that other item
I always come back to the stream .. The way he sticks with it and beats the game almost feels like I did but I didn't have to go through the torture hence why I watch Mikes streams.
I'll never understand why devs of games like this never thought that they should let you continue from your game when you lose all your lives without putting in a password. . It's ridiculous whenever you get a game over you cant just choose to continue you have to enter in a password every time, that is so stupid.
*51:27*
"They threw my legs over here...
and my arms over there..."

Mike is masochistic for these games, he says he hates it, but he actually enjoys it.

Wait. We need 5 / 6 to enter? So we DON'T have to get them all?
@@Toomnyusernae You need 6 tickets of each color. I think some worlds have a couple more then you need so there is a little bit of leeway.
This is why I watch Mike, such dedication on completing such a crappy game without any assistance with passwords with more lives.
Thanks
Well if Mike just cheated then he wouldn't get so upset when he loses over and over again. Much higher stakes equals much higher freak out haha

"....... you son of a bitch.."
Haha wow I actually considered how long it would take him to have a meltdown playing this shyte and clicked to 1:09:10 first try!
I wanted to timestamp all of the times he does his Gadget impression. I thought he'd be doing it a lot with the yellow bricks being such a big part of this game, but so far he hasn't done it :(
2:44:06 He FINALLY does his inspector gadget
So a mouse can kill Dorothy but she can kick a saw blade. Brilliant
This has to be just about the only game, ever, where you can destroy buzzsaw hazards.
I literally had tears my eyes, and my stomach was in knots, while watching this.

The look of agony on Mike's face throughout this video ... priceless.
This is truly unique content and I love it.
Omg this was such a joy to watch, I couldn't stop laughing!!! Thank you for playing it so I never have to suffer myself hahaa
The funniest shit was when he had the wing slippers and didn't realise. Then he put himself through all this pain and torment trying to get the wing slippers again for no reason. I literally couldn't stop laughing.
Watch Mike fall into a spiral of madness.
Games like this one make the Carebears cry.
Started watching this video before I began my cardio workout and when I finished, I also got an abdominal workout in from laughing so hard!
How much you bench bro?
Don't let anyone ever tell you that you pick bad games to stream, I love watching you play any game it's always entertaining
Mike saying "damn it "is one of my favorite things.
"And i'm Hay."
I don't understand why they had to have such random, crappy enemies. The Oz books are full of all kinds of bizarre creatures they could have used.
602 Two hours in and i have to tell you. This is a classic playthrough.
It's still a classic
When Mike gets to control the cowardly lion. He should dress in his Lion Costume like in the Angry Video Game Nerd Episode🦁👍🤣
It would have been so funny seeing him rage in that costume
Honestly mike thanks for addressing right away why you're playing this, because the first thing I thought when this vid loaded up was, in fact, "whyyy the f would you do this to yourself, playing this damn game". Respect man, you're doing the lord's work 🤟
In Hell, you have only one game to play. The wizard of Oz for SNES.
And only one movie to watch- the last airbender.
Also Bart's nightmare, king's knight, does em all

4:47:48 When Mike realizes you do not lose the slippers when you die, and makes a sad face, entering the ever so long password in sadness is one of the funniest moments in this video 🤣.

Mike getting that password at the end was so satisfying to see.
It all worked out fine in the end... at least until he continues to the next part of the game.
These are the kind of games I'd rent as a kid with no knowledge of it and be so pissed I wasted the rental, and you could exchange them, but parents wouldn't take you back!
Same thing happened with me, except it was Total Recall on the NES
Yeah i remember having that happen but I used to rent the games by myself so I'd walk back to the store if I needed.
That opening shot of Dorothy lying on the ground is so unsettling.
she looks like a corpse
Blah Uhm she is
It’s a harbinger of things to come.
Your part as the Lion in the AVGN episodi was one of the funniest things I have EVER seen!
The jumping reminds me of that terminator game for NES. It's just so precise and you end up passing through the platforms half the time.
I would say it's even worse(I played both as well). You pass through huge platforms in Wizard of Oz which doesn't make sense since there's no way you can actually pass through how big they are.
You know... while it is true we all like to laugh at Mike's pain... can we take a moment to acknowledge the fact that he has given anyone who watches this video a functional 9 lives password? like, if you look up "codes" they seem to be all about "x character already joined" or "x stage already beaten"... but there's no clear indicator that those are for a good ammount of bricks, tickets, OR lives... but Mike? he went as far as to get A CODE for NINE LIVES. and that's something

To be fair he is playing really badly around an hour later when he's trying to farm lives. I feel bad because it's actually really simple to do but he's focused on other things instead of getting lives the easy way.
I love watching you play bad games its so funny

The patience of this man is quite something. I would have quit on stage 1. What a champ!
Watching Dorothy kick a giant saw blade to death is pretty cool
I re-watch this playthru yearly and it never gets old. I think one of my favorite parts of this game is the sound when you take damage
Same lol
Mike is completely insane and I love every minute of it
At least partially. Probably completely.
@@mikematei I hope you know I say that with affection, I know I'm at least partially crazy as well. You're a very entertaining and genuine man. Thank you for everything
I know its mean, but the more frustration and despair Mike exudes, the more I laugh! >=)
You played five and a half hours of this game willingly? The punishments in Singapore for certain felonies are more lenient than this.
