Play Animaniacs (Europe) on gb Online

Konami released Animaniacs for the Game Boy in 1995, a time when licensed platformers were common on handhelds. It arrived with little fanfare, just another cartoon adaptation vying for attention among a sea of similar titles.

You control the Warner siblings, switching between Yakko, Wakko, and Dot on the fly to use their unique moves. Dot can hover briefly, Wakko smashes blocks with his head, and Yakko attacks with a swift slap. The goal is to rescue the studio’s missing film reels by navigating side scrolling stages filled with enemies and environmental puzzles. The level design encourages backtracking once new abilities are unlocked, though the controls feel slightly stiff and the difficulty spikes unexpectedly in later stages. Playing it feels like managing a cheerful, slightly uncooperative team through a series of unpredictable challenges.
