Bea and Felix usually appeared in 2-minute roles throughout the episodes. It would have made more sense if you could play as Max, Norman, and Virgil the talking chicken. Virgil: "I'm a fowl, actually."
Reminds me of the game "Dream TV" on the SNES, that's a bizzare platform game with split screen like this. But Mighty Max was really Polly Pocket for boys.
@@DangerDave-e7u I could see a second loop cartoon working: make Max uncannily competent and way ahead of everything because he's already done it before but his cockiness on the matter ends up making things worse half the time. Fortunately this could drastically alter his first attack on Skullmaster
Trust me. The cartoon show will BLOW YOU AWAY. One of the biggest American cartoon shows of all-time. And it came out in a Golden Age of awesome American cartoons such as Batman the Animated Series, X-Men, Spiderman and Gargoyles. And still managed to stand out.
This show was a child hood favorite. Show was awesome. Never had the toys...but the fact they made a polly pocket for boys is pretty cool. Game does look pretty meh though
@@lonewolffang lmao seriously. It also looks like it doesn't take much from the show, other than the main characters. The show had some good ass stories/villains, that could make for a great game.
All I remember about the show was the janitor guy getting attacked by a werewolf and Max find a chalk outline of his body later on. And a little bit of blood.
I used to watch it & had a select few of the figure sets! I LOVED IT!! I had the magma monster guy & a gargoyle, Max had to defeat! The 90s were AWESOME!!!
My little brother loved those toys, anything ‘micro’ sized was a hit in our house somehow. Mighty max, tmnt made really little things at one point, micro machines from hot wheels. Idk what it was about choking hazards, but they were popular lol. They also got lost So easily, ofc.
I vaguely remember the toys. Like a 90's heavy metal polly pocket. The cartoon adaption was surprisingly good (though I've only seen a little bit of it).
For someone who loved anything with monsters this toy line was incredible to me. I also had a Tiger lcd game of Mighty Max that looks like it blows this version completely away
I love the part near the beginning where there's a really tall ladder and you can just jump up to the platform it leads to, even though it's past the upper limit of the viewable area.
@@corneliusfarrell8673 technically listed out of order as episodes 36 and 37, the intended series finale was the two-parter Armageddon Closer and Armageddon Outta Here without too much spoiling: all of the prophecies come true
I remember this game, mostly because the gaming magazine I was reading at the time gave this one of the lowest score I think they ever gave out, and their entire review was just complaining about how bad it was. Granted, they also seem to have only played the volcano level, as that was where all their screenshots came from, and one of their big complaints was that everything looked exactly the same, so I guess it was not the best gaming magazine... (The same magazine also spent a large chunk of their review of the SNES version of Syndicate complaining about how bad PC games were, and they had someone who hated pinball review a lot of pinball games, so every pinball game received a poor review score)
To me this game was unplayable, but I loved the show. It was awful sometimes, but it balanced that out with being pretty amazing sometimes too. Tim Curry as Skullmaster was just leagues beyond the average super villain on tv back then. I don’t know how he’s doing these days, but I know a little. I hope people send him well wishes and praise for his part in this while they still can.
Heya mate, how are you doing? It’s been a couple of weeks and we miss you. Be safe, be strong and we love you. Hope to see you in my feed when the time is right
The Mighty Max toys were actually really awesome. They were here in the US, too. They were pocket-sized and you usually had Max and at least one enemy.
There wasn't a SNES drunk video uploaded on Thursday this week. I've lost track the last time I didn't see some new material on a Tuesday and Thursday...I feel lost! I hope he's OK!!
The show and the toys, were AWESOME. I loved the show and the toys. I'm surprised it was only 40 episodes. I loved it. I never played the game though. Maybe a fan will do the show justice and make a better game one day.
Here's something fun, though: If you put the first run in on SpeedRun, you're defaulted to the moderator of that game. You can put your run in an insane category (e.g. drunk%, where you have to be drinking the whole time), and if no one wants to take your challenge up, you can have a world record forever. Granted, it's for something no one cares about or cares to beat. But hey, you can say you have a world record in something.
I was a big fan of the cartoon and toy line when I was a child, and was always curious about the SNES game (though, based on this review, thankfully I never picked it up!).
Unfortunately I no longer have the manual itself (the only good thing about the game lol) but yes, Snes version of the game does in fact come with a manual that has a comic inside of it. I remember taking xerox copies of it as a child right before trading the game away, lol.
i remember renting this back in the day… knew the jump was going to be eviscerated (rightly so) in this review before i even clicked, it really is horrendous
I remeber owning this game as a kid, and I tall ya: if you think moving around and jumping is akward in this game, try playing it split-screen co-up with a friend. It's... it's not good o_o
xexxex or treasure of the rudras would be awesome to see what you think of those games, I dont have money to give you but I mod gameboy's and I have one with a clear blue shell and red backlight I'd be willing to send you. love you snes drunk!!!
So glad to see this video! I was just setting up my SNES last week and was wondering if it was worth picking it up (it was among some other games that were stolen)
Growing up I loved the toys, loved the show and figured I would love the game too. I think I played it for maybe five minutes before I ripped the label off the cartridge in frustration.
those aren't SNES. They're not even 4th console generation and while you could argue that it's inspired by Maze of Galious, MoG came out long before the SNES but yeah, could probably be added to any future Games- Like Metroid video
At 4:03 you actually perform a short, manageable jump. This does lead me to question if this is a case where you missed a key part of the controls (like in other reviews you criticized a game for only having 1 playable character but didn't realize that you can press L or R to change between characters in the roster, etc.) You also didn't tell us if the stages have bosses or not - presumably you didn't make it that far in any stage? Given the Mega Man style of stage selection, perhaps beating a boss or stage unlocks more movement options that could make gameplay much smoother.
To anyone who ever wanted to play this game Beware the game over screen is kinda scary. I mean it's just the main bad guy smiling at you but the coloring and lighting make it really scary, the music for that screen doesn't help. :P Same screen on genesis too.
Weird to hear Ocean getting a bad rep these days. When I was a kid they were loved by most people I knew, but that was more the 8 and 16 bit home computers in Europe. They were hardly considered when it came to consoles.
I remember the show from when I was a kid, it was awesome. I started looking up episodes online nearly a year ago, and man, that show was darker than I remember. I never did play this game, and from the looks of it, I'm glad I didn't. Although to be honest the music they were playing on here sounded pretty good. I think this game should get reviewed (and destroyed) by the AVGN next.
Ah a shame, I used to love the toy series and the tv show for Might Max But lord knows I'm glad I'm just learning of this game, watching that jumping gave me a headache
Thankyou for your honest opinion on this game I’m a big fan of the mighty max toys so it’s a shame the company that made this couldn’t get the jumping controls correct for this lll avoid it plus this title is not cheap so that’s win for me 😎👍🏻
Hello Mr. Drunk, do you know of a 2d action sidescroller where you can attack while moving? I love what it did to the pace of gameplay in hollow knight and I want more. Of course Metroid lets you do it, but the castlevanias of this world make you stop in place...
Everytime I think about Ocean Software, I keep wishing they actually sank IN the ocean. I used to play most of their crummy games as I was growing up, and I really wish I could get that time back.
I always wondered if the game was bad because it never got rented at the movie/game rentals when I was a kid after watching the cartoon a few times. Thanks to you for reviewing this garbage of a game tossed into a volcano, I can now safely say I dodged a bullet.
Bea and Felix usually appeared in 2-minute roles throughout the episodes. It would have made more sense if you could play as Max, Norman, and Virgil the talking chicken.
Virgil: "I'm a fowl, actually."
I like your style! Mighty max was the shit!
like Vergil from devil may cry? Man that's cool
I owned this one as a kid, and I remember the comic being in the SNES manual.
F

McDonald's also offered them as a toy alongside a mini Polly Pocket for girls. The authentic toy line was essentially Polly Pocket for boys.
Likewise.
This was my request, thanks so much for doing it! I feel honored to have my name mentioned in the description of a SNESdrunk video. Haha
Reminds me of the game "Dream TV" on the SNES, that's a bizzare platform game with split screen like this.
But Mighty Max was really Polly Pocket for boys.
Weird, i was thinking the same thing.
The manual for the SNES version did have a comic book. In it Mighty Max and crew are fighting on Easter Island (or probably an Easter Island proxy).
The Mighty Max show was awesome. Crazy how this game turned out.
Time for a reboot?
@@DangerDave-e7u as long as the reboot is quality~

I guess you could say "avoid this any way you can"
Done and done
This show was a child hood favorite. Show was awesome. Never had the toys...but the fact they made a polly pocket for boys is pretty cool. Game does look pretty meh though
Same. I figured they couldn't make a bad game given it's premise, but man was I wrong.

The CunninLynguist agreed💀

Good show, bad game.
I remember the toys. I had a few. One of those interesting 90s toy idea.
I used to watch it & had a select few of the figure sets! I LOVED IT!! I had the magma monster guy & a gargoyle, Max had to defeat! The 90s were AWESOME!!!
mighty max was my favorite cartoon show when i was the kid. i had the toys and everything,

I loved the cartoon Mighty Max. Tim Curry's voice is amazing.

Mighty Max is actually a great cartoon though 😭 I miss my childhood
I enjoyed the Mighty Max series. Virgil was my favorite. 🖤
The last episode of Mighty Max has to be the darkest ending to a kid's show ever. Loll
Which episode was it I haven’t seen dat one
100% agree
Yes but then it restarts again so it kinda erases the dark ending
@@corneliusfarrell8673

IKR. Never have I felt so at the edge of my seat and deeply saddened at the same time.
Check out the show if you have a chance. I remember it being a great show as a kid that I watched every episode of.
I loved the show as well as the game.
I remember this game, mostly because the gaming magazine I was reading at the time gave this one of the lowest score I think they ever gave out, and their entire review was just complaining about how bad it was.

game journalism, game journalism never changes
a magazine that shat on Syndicate? I don't care if it was the SNES version, no credibility
That jump is insane 😂😂
It's making me dizzy ngl
Loved the cartoon as a kid. Glad I didn’t see this turd on shelves or I would’ve bought it for my Genesis.
To me this game was unplayable, but I loved the show. It was awful sometimes, but it balanced that out with being pretty amazing sometimes too. Tim Curry as Skullmaster was just leagues beyond the average super villain on tv back then. I don’t know how he’s doing these days, but I know a little.

What was awful??

Had the SNES version of this game as a kid. To answer your question, yes, the SNES manual does have the same comic.
Hey SNESDRUNK...haven't heard from you in a while. Everything good?
Looks a perfect game to speedrun at AGDQ
I remember the might max toy line when I was a kid. 😀👍
I had a 1 or 2 of the little Mighty Max sets, There was also a big rock castle set that was really cool.
You finally did it! This was a game that I got as a child that I didn't ask for but I ended up loving
There wasn't a SNES drunk video uploaded on Thursday this week. I've lost track the last time I didn't see some new material on a Tuesday and Thursday...I feel lost! I hope he's OK!!
This REALLY reminded me about Kid Chameleon on Mega Drive/Genesis when you talk about the controls... I've tried a lot but never got into that game.
I remember the toys. They were popular here in Australia when I was a kid.
Any chance of a review for Katana Zero for Steam?
One of my favorite cartoons of the 90s! Sadly I didn't have any of the toys back then. Could never figure out the game.
We miss you man, hope everything is allright!
The show and the toys, were AWESOME. I loved the show and the toys. I'm surprised it was only 40 episodes. I loved it. I never played the game though. Maybe a fan will do the show justice and make a better game one day.
My brother loved the show so much he named his cat Norman.
0:07 right away roast bro

hope everything is ok love you snes drunk
There are some speed runs, I found one looking for the show's ending video. And the video was 4 years old Lol
I was a big fan of the cartoon and toy line when I was a child, and was always curious about the SNES game (though, based on this review, thankfully I never picked it up!).
That music in the background sounds like "Let's Work Together" by Canned Heat.
Speaking of Flintstones... A Sega drunk review of that game would be cool I love it as a platformer ❤️
Don't remember this one growing up, watched the show all the time and even had a few of the Polly pocket style toy sets.
Unfortunately I no longer have the manual itself (the only good thing about the game lol) but yes, Snes version of the game does in fact come with a manual that has a comic inside of it. I remember taking xerox copies of it as a child right before trading the game away, lol.
Cool!
I used to watch mighty max as a kid, I'm so glad I never wasted a trip to blockbuster on this!
Jesus wept, that jump arc!
i remember renting this back in the day… knew the jump was going to be eviscerated (rightly so) in this review before i even clicked, it really is horrendous
LOL, I was just listening to the soundtrack for this game yesterday, and today you do a review on! Cool coincidence!
i actually beat this game as a kid, i did for what i thought was a fight with the skull master..... i didn't even give me that.
I remeber owning this game as a kid, and I tall ya: if you think moving around and jumping is akward in this game, try playing it split-screen co-up with a friend. It's... it's not good o_o
Didn't make it to 2:36?
Watch the video asswipe
The idea of co-op in a game like this would have been amazing if the game was actually good!
xexxex or treasure of the rudras would be awesome to see what you think of those games, I dont have money to give you but I mod gameboy's and I have one with a clear blue shell and red backlight I'd be willing to send you. love you snes drunk!!!
I watched a documentary about a guy who was obsessed with making a game about running fast and jumping really high. He might dig this game.
I never saw the cartoon, but they had pretty cool ads for the toys as a kid.
Had this as a kid. One of those 'because I got it as a gift' games...
The jump physics are giving me flashbacks to when I programmed my own 2D platformers in high school...
So glad to see this video! I was just setting up my SNES last week and was wondering if it was worth picking it up (it was among some other games that were stolen)
Growing up I loved the toys, loved the show and figured I would love the game too. I think I played it for maybe five minutes before I ripped the label off the cartridge in frustration.
Hasnt been a new SNESdrunk video for a few weeks. hope youre allright my man
I really like your style for reviews.
Hey, SD, you should totally do a video on one or all of the La Mulana games...
those aren't SNES. They're not even 4th console generation
and while you could argue that it's inspired by Maze of Galious, MoG came out long before the SNES
but yeah, could probably be added to any future Games- Like Metroid video

Loved this show as a kid. Tim Curry was the voice of the villain!
I actually have two copies of the manual. One the American manual and the other is the European manual. I'll have to look when I get home.
The first thing I always remember about this game is "that jump is ridiculous"
To anyone who ever wanted to play this game Beware the game over screen is kinda scary. I mean it's just the main bad guy smiling at you but the coloring and lighting make it really scary, the music for that screen doesn't help. :P Same screen on genesis too.
that's not just the bad guy, that's Tim Curry smiling at you
The box art vampire thing looks like the Yowie Yahoo from that one scooby doo movie
Weird to hear Ocean getting a bad rep these days. When I was a kid they were loved by most people I knew, but that was more the 8 and 16 bit home computers in Europe. They were hardly considered when it came to consoles.
i remember back then looking at this game's cover on a magazine and thinking "isn't that the vampire guy from spiderman?"
Also, this is one of those SNES games that have a particular visual style and sound to the music that I find pretty repulsive.
I think the only SNES game that made this visual style work was Alfred Chicken, and even then only barely.
Nobody In particular Yeah, the style reminds me of Commander Keen.
When I was a kid I loved the toys and the show
The background scrolling in the fire level looks pretty cool!
It seems all objects are regular sized. I thought Mighty Max was a miniature person?
No he just had tiny playsets.
With all of the snarky esoterica I’m quite eager to see a 3 Ninjas Knuckle Up review just to hear some movie references...
You should make a video for the cyber knight
The weird thing about this video popping up today is my mum just brought me up all of my mighty max toys from when I was a kid last night 😂
Without even pressing play yet, I remember old magazines saying how "red" this game, or a certain level was.
It’s the speed of the jump that gets me not the height! The kids rockets up at 300mph!
Thank you!
01:40 a penguin enemy in a volcano setting?
Watch the show. Epic ending!!
