Taz-Mania

A video game adaptation of the animated film "Taz-Mania" starring the Tasmanian Devil. As one of several games based on this license, the Sega version has the same story but a unique design and different levels on the different platforms. Inspired by a story his father told him, Taz sets out to find the egg of a giant prehistoric sea bird, which takes him across Taz-Mania in 16 levels full of platform action. He must survive a desert, a jungle, a car factory, a mine, and ancient ruins. Taz can run, jump, and spin rapidly to transform into his signature whirlwind. While spinning, he can take out most of the enemies he encounters. He can also pick up many different items and try to eat them or use them in other ways. Most foods replenish his health, while eating chili peppers gives him a fire-breathing attack. Stars grant him temporary invulnerability, while bombs should be thrown at enemies (and definitely not eaten!).
