Oh My God, I remember playing this game when I was little! I tried beat it several times but I never did. I've gotten so mad at it, so I just toss it out in the sewer!! 😝😂
I had this when I was a kid. I got stuck on the tank thing over and over. It was so bad I traded with someone at school for a pager that received the football results each week. Best trade I ever did.
Taz-Mania 2, the sequel to Taz-Mania is the second game, based on the Warner Bros. animated cartoon TV show of the same name, look like NES. Also the copyright notice, menu, and the life and score look like the Game Boy version of Tom & Jerry.
I’ve watched the first from you earlier. These games lack any kind of continuity. Like even if you noticed the Taz titles on Genesis alone. I did grew with this one and the others I mentioned. Never have beaten it. But recently seen a full play through just this year. This game is strange in that it acts in the vain of the Sega Genesis Taz Mania while the other Taz Mania on GameBoy acts as the portable version of the SNES Taz Mania. I’ll give GB Taz credit in that it was what the SNES Taz should have been. A side scroller gameplay. Funny how vastly different graphics are each game. Reminds me of Tom and Jerry on GB.
I love the SNES version. When I learned later on that it has a bad reputation, I was completely baffled: I guess people just wanted another platformer? The other Game Boy Taz-Mania is nothing like the SNES game, though, except for those road levels which are only similar in appearance anyway.
handsomebrick The reason the SNES was disfavored because the road running gameplay was too redundant. And the gameplay can get frustratingly annoying as it got on. It was just an odd gameplay to be the central focus for the entirety of the game. But on the opposite end some might like it for being different even though the game was still repetitive in it’s own right. That’s why I appreciate the GameBoy one more for not replicating but rather keep it to minimum as a bonus level. It’s funny how they share the same cover yet there different for more obvious reasons.
Interesting little back story about this one, this game is a "redress" of another game by the same developer and I think it was used again for another game. They only changed the graphics but most of the level designs, controls etc are the same. There is a description for these types of games but I can't recall it right now. Something similar happened on the Wii, one company just reusing a game and just giving it a different "paint job".
Had this game as a kid. Always liked the menu music. Gameplay meh. I always found it weird that in a Tasmanian Devil game the power meter of the signature whirlwind attack went empty so quickly. So you barely got to do a proper whirlwind spin during the game.
I purchased this game when I was 15 years old. I'm 37 now. Haha . I remember clearly there was a bug in this game at a boss level and I could never continue. It's a boss in a pit ?
Ah, yes, the third one. If he managed to hit you RIGHT before the game registered you'd won (because his projectile attack could still hit you after he'd been defeated), the game would seriously glitch out.
@@MrSmegheneghan In PAL regions the game was simply known as Taz-Mania. What people in the US know as Taz-Mania for Game Boy, the PAL users know the game as Tasmanian Devil in Island Chase. So when Taz-Mania 2 came to PAL regions, they probably thought it would be weird to skip straight to a second game without a first so they removed the '2' leaving it just Taz-Mania
I had the first gas game! It was one of my very first Gameboy games! I honestly think this 2nd game is a down grade both game play and graphic wise compared to the first Taz gameboy game!

Good longplayer I gotta say. Lots of subtle charm

When it came to score, it was almost the same like Tom and Jerry.

Different to the first game although closer to the source material it seems.

What is the name of this game?
@@mariowario5945Baby T-Rex which eventually later became Radical Rex
Taz-Mania 2 borrows the game engine from the Game Boy version of Tom & Jerry.
I was today years old that I realized they made a sequel...
I can remember having this on my old game boy as a kid. This was not an easy game! I dont think I ever got round to completing it
Compared to the first one, this has more to do with the show, since it has characters from the series.
I can't remember any other Taz-Mania game that does this, on any platform.
@@handsomebrick I think the SNES Taz-Mania actually had characters from the show appear.
Perfect game
Really?
Yeah
In Japanese Games is Looney Tunes Series: Taz Mania 2
Got it
25:50 was this wall clip a new discovery by accident or did you know about it already?
It only says "Taz Mania" on my copy
is because in europe, it was called as taz mania

Curiously, in the UK, it was just called "Taz Mania", without the "2".

USA and Europe Taz-Mania 2 by THQ Hudson Soft
Wait this was a _sequel?_ Colour me surprised - I had a copy of this years ago and it never had a 2 at the end of it!
That’s what I thought, but there actually is a 2 on the cartridge
@@darkartsdabbler2407 I'll need to see if I can dig up my copy - I'm in the PAL region so that'd probably be what changed things!

@@CrazyGmod21 I was wondering too

25:49 What was that? O_O
Visually this is such a massive drop from the first Taz-Mania on Game Boy and the level design is incredibly generic. What a shame.
At least the sprite looks like Taz this time.
Beam Software? More like Busted Software or Worst Software
Anyone remember a password for this?
this game is a piece of trash
