Play Speedy Gonzales (USA, Europe) Online

Speedy Gonzales on the Game Boy came out in 1993, developed by Sunsoft and published by Konami. It was one of those platformers that felt right at home on the handheld, a straightforward action game you could pick up between bus stops or before class. The graphics were simple but colorful, and it captured the Looney Tunes energy without trying to be more than it was.

You control Speedy Gonzales, the fastest mouse in Mexico, running and jumping through multi-tiered levels to collect cheese and rescue your captured mouse friends. The main objective is to find the exit in each stage, but you’ll spend most of your time dodging enemies like Sylvester and other cats, bouncing off tequila bottles to reach higher platforms, and discovering hidden tunnels that lead to bonus areas. The pacing is fast, and the difficulty ramps up quickly, demanding quick reflexes and good timing. It feels frantic and silly in the best way, like a cartoon come to life in your hands.
