Play Pink Goes to Hollywood Online

Pink Goes to Hollywood came out for the Sega Genesis in 1993, developed by Magic Fields and published by TecMagik. It was one of those licensed platformers that felt right at home in an era crowded with mascots trying to stand out. The game puts you in the role of the Pink Panther, not as a detective but as a star trying to make it in Hollywood, which gives it a slightly different flavor than some of the other cartoon adaptations of the time.

You control the Panther through side-scrolling stages, each designed as a movie set, from westerns to horror scenes. Your main goal is to reach the end of each level while collecting film reels and avoiding or dispatching enemies. The Panther has a few moves to help him; he can punch with a spring-loaded boxing glove, use an umbrella to float down safely from heights, and sneak under low obstacles. The level themes change abruptly, keeping the action from getting too repetitive, though the difficulty can spike in some areas. It feels like a straightforward, occasionally quirky platformer that doesn’t overstay its welcome.
