Play Wizard of Oz, The Online

Wizard of Oz on the Super Nintendo came out in 1993, developed by Manley & Associates. It was one of those licensed platformers that tried to stand out in a crowded field, based on the classic story but with its own take on the action. It didn't get a lot of attention at the time, but it had some interesting ideas for players willing to give it a shot.

You control Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man, switching between them to use their unique abilities. Dorothy can jump on enemies, the Scarecrow floats slowly to cross gaps, and the Tin Man swings an axe to break obstacles. The goal is to navigate through screen by screen levels, avoiding enemies like flying monkeys and collecting ruby slippers to progress. The pacing is methodical, and the difficulty can be unforgiving with precise platforming required. It feels like a strange, sometimes frustrating trip through a familiar world that demands patience.
