Play Taz-Mania Online

Taz-Mania came out for the Sega Genesis in 1992, developed and published by Sega. It was part of that wave of licensed platformers that tried to capture the energy of a cartoon, and it stood out with its fast, destructive gameplay. You don't get a lot of story; you're just Taz, and things are in your way.

You control the Tasmanian Devil, spinning through levels to smash enemies and tear apart the scenery. The main goal is simply to reach the end of each stage, but you're constantly eating everything you can to keep your health up. Your spin attack is your main tool, letting you plow through obstacles and foes, while eating certain items like hot peppers temporarily turns you into a fire-breathing tornado. The game moves quickly and can get pretty tough with enemy swarms and tricky platforming. It feels frantic and silly, like you're causing a happy disaster.
