If anybody is curious, the channel Coding Secrets is run by the dude who programmed this game. He has a two videos on how he achieved some of the 3D effects in this game (one for the 3D section and one for the 2D sections).
Traveler's Tales under him certainly had a knack for interesting technical achievements. Even one of their more infamous games, Rascal, was something of a technical marvel for the PS1 due to it having some pretty detailed visuals for the hardware and being able to run at 60 FPS, a rarity in console (and hell even some PC games) of the era (though it's worth noting Rascal's infamy mostly comes down to bad meddling from the publisher who, rather than use the producer's ideas of making the game play more like Mario 64, forced him to use Tomb Raider styled controls, which hurt the level design too). They also made a game on the PS2 called "Haven" which featured No Man's Sky styled space and planetary travel back in 2002.

Another thing I find interesting is the first Buzz boss battle is loosely based on a deleted scene where Woody has a nightmare of Andy keeping Buzz and he throws out Woody
Ah, this game...its manual had what might be the single worst hint in gaming history. I was stuck for ages on the Buzz boss fight, because he is immune to your attacks, there is no in-game hint to tell you how to hurt him, and the manual gives this "helpful" clue: "Keep moving and see if you can tire him out". I spent ages trying to dodge his bouncing around (which is hard as hell) before finally getting frustrated enough to try attacking again, and HAPPENED to be standing in the right spot to hit the tire (which does not move unless you hit it and appears to be a part of the background). Hours wasted because of a damned pun...
The SNES is ever harder due to its worse hit detection (for the whip and the walls from Really Inside the Claw Machine level) and lower horizontal resolution.
Ah yes, one of the top dogs of fake difficulty. (The trajectory if those exploding fuses seem to be predictable enough that you just stand under them though.)
Played this all the time as a kid. Could speed run it any day. Can’t be the only person who based part of their liking of some properties on if the video game was also fun.
I would love to speedrun this game now that I think about it. Is there a category for collecting all the stars for every level? That is an extremely difficult task, especially during Nightmare Buzz and some others.
I own a physical copy of toy story and I can't get the first level either My fiance however did to the second level and quite honestly she stopped playing there to she lost interest in too
I remember renting it when I was a kid and the odd choices regarding gameplay and visual presentation on the first level and the fact that the camera works so strange and you don't really have an attack and it's not easy to understand what you even have to do on the first level got me thinking this was an actual pirate game. After finding out how to work on the first level and getting further along in the game I could see some of the good stuff but still it's a game that's far from perfect the floaty movement of Woody is real pain in the ass, and all those little projectiles are impossible to dodge. I think the producers of the game where trying to make something like donkey Kong country very much and though the graphics and sound are okay the gameplay is far from being as polished as DKC
They were on very tight time constraints to have it done in time for the movie, and they had some overly ambitious ideas. Traveler's tales would have been better off focusing on perfecting the platformer sections instead of stuffing 4 or 5 different play styles in.
This game really just hits the nostalgia button, at least for me, and that reason alone is why I’d enjoy it. But really though, everything you said is spot on about it! 👍😎
There was an ad for this game on the Toy Story VHS we had growing up. I wanted it so bad but never got a chance to play it and still haven't. Great review
I love the glitch/cheat in level one In level one if you go to the dresser top drawer and almost fall then crouch down for a few minutes your health Star will start spinning your invincible and it you hit start then select you can auto win the the level you are on
Nah. Cartridges had limited space back then especially. You can beat most games from that era in under an hour if you're good. They didn't want people spending $40+ for a game and beating it in an hour; hence them raising the difficulty.
As a kid I thought it wasn't that bad and beat it in one rental week. Coming back to it however shows just how drastically my video game skills have dropped.
@@Cerebrum123 I'm not old, but I'm the opposite. I was terrible at 8/16 bit games when I was a kid and could barely beat a level or 2 in a lot of them, but as an adult I can actually make good progress or even beat games if I want to devote some time to them.
@@inputfunny I don't think I'm old either, but my skills have dropped for sure. Some games I go back to that I couldn't beat and now I can, and others I am like, "how on earth did I beat that when I was a kid?". Toy Story is in the latter category.
Thank goodness for the invincibility trick in level 1. Just hop up on one of the draws and duck for a few seconds. I actually really loved this game as a kid and played it all the time, but I feel like that nostalgia factor is key in forgiving a lot of it's flaws. Like you said, it's a product of it's time.
The video game rental difficulty increase is super frustrating as a 16 bit gamer. This is the #1 reason why everyone should own a Game Genie. A good code or two can be the difference between an semi-unplayable mess that leaves you struggling to get to level 2 and a fun, casual playthrough of the game it always should have been.

I played this on the PC back when it was new. Great sounding and looking game for sure. I think I managed to eventually beat it with some regularity, but damn, it was frustrating at times.
I remember renting it when I was little, so I tried it out again as an adult. Everything you mentioned is spot on. Controls and hit detection are sloppy and frustrating. And it's WAY too hard for a kids game.
This is one of the games I mastered as a kid. I would replay and beat this game. The level that would usually give me a challenge would be the claw level. That one was always the struggle in every play through.
The guy who made this game is on TH-cam. His channel is called Coding Secrets. It's amazing he explains how he made this game. Really awesome. Also great video snes drunk. Been a subscriber since u had like 10k subs.
I was expecting a lot worse from a licensed game. Add unlimited contimues and do something to fix your giant hit box, and this would probably be remembered as one of the great 16 bit platformers.
@@renewagain6956 most likely Patreon. Was probably unlisted but able to be viewed with a direct link. I think the video uses the time it was made public as the upload time?
My biggest issue with Toy Story and other maze-like platformers on SNES was the zoom level and sprite size. Yeah, looks great but if it plays like shit, I'm moving on. I was 12 when this came out and I couldn't get past the terrible gameplay. I promptly returned to Mario, lol.
This game is the furthest thing from being hard. I beat this game when I was 9 years old back in 1995 for snes and it was easily one of my favorite games. I was only a 9 year old child and I beat it. Some levels make you think a little bit but it doesn't even scratch the surface on what a hard game is.
I always see everyone talking up how difficult Lion King was in the 16 bit era, but I found this one far more difficult. The levels from Sid's Room on are a freaking nightmare, and as said in the video the hurtboxes and hitboxes in this game are straight up nonsense.
The best graphics for a licensed game on the SNES forsure. Maybe even top 3 for the SNES overall.. still haven’t beat the game without save states though 😂
This was a decent Super Nintendo game I owned growing up. If you are having trouble in stage 1 go to dresser with army barrel on it and jump into the first open drawer. Press and hold down until your star starts to spin. You are now invincible. Once you successfully do the invincibility cheat if you are still struggling on a stage just press start then select and you will jump to the end of that stage. You really should play the whole game though as it is a decent game.
The platforming in this games looks like a "good" Flash game designed for your first generation Android phone in 2008. I guess that means it's ahead of it's time.
These visuals really do hold up (at least on the SNES) it's been what 25 years and this game still looks really good. You can tell they really put effort into this game something I can't say about any other Disney game from the last 25 years outside of the original epic Mickey.
I just want to note: There is also Game Boy Version of this game, that I had as a kid and... well... if you think the SNES Resolution makes it hard to anticipate things, imagine how it is on the game boy!
The problem of the SNES version is the hit box whip, you can only touch things with the ring of your whip. On Genesis, the hit bow whip is complete. It's make this game much easier and enjoyable to play.
Having beaten this game as a 6yr; this is surprising to me that that this falls into the “mighta been fun but the game is too hard in an unfair way” category 🤷♂️
This was one of the best birthday presents I ever received. I played the crap out of this game. Yeah, some of it was cheap, some of it was hard, but it was all worth it!
When I was a kid, I was obsessed with this game. I was already a toy story fanatic in my youth, and would watch let’s plays and even a review from a crummy public access tv show from the 90s over and over again. I even ripped off portions of levels for stories that I wrote. I didn’t even play the game until a year or so ago, and it’s a flawed but really fun way to kill an hour, once you figure out its quirks.
It seems a lot of people just can't get past the RC car part early in the game even though the controls are pretty simple. they just don't seem to understand that left doesn't mean you're traveling left it means you're turning left and right doesn't mean you're traveling right that means you're turning right. Honestly I think the hardest level on the game is when you're actually racing out of Sid's house and occasionally that stupid dog scud shows up and causes you to have to be in the middle of the screen instead of the left.
The soundtrack to most of the levels were super catchy. The level I could never beat was the claw machine level (saving buzz levels) and the song from that level has forever been stuck in my head.
I absolutely loved this game and the movie when I was younger. I knew the difficulty was going to be addressed and that's really sad they did that for a clearly child's game.
Nah. Cartridges had limited space back then especially. You can beat most games from that era in under an hour if you're good. They didn't want people spending $40+ for a game and beating it in an hour; hence them raising the difficulty.
I really love this series and the short, straight to the point reviews. I've discovered several great games like E.V.O, Terranigma, and Ragnacenty just to name a few.
The frame rate in that 3D level is amazing for the SNES! Sure, the field of view is really low, and there's some texture warp that would makes the PS1 blush, but holy cow, that is a solid 30+ FPS at what seems to be all times. Compare that to Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, Faceball 2000, or Jurassic Park and it's a night and day difference.
There aren't any enemies any gunfire or anything of note going on. It's just empty wandering around a maze to pick up aliens. It's not comparable to doom by any stretch of the imagination. Unless you wanted to compare it to an empty doom with no guns and no enemies. I bet that would run a solid 30+ FPS too.
After a while, the controls start to make sense, whip forward once or twice then whip upward to launch the aliens up high and memorize the claw's pattern so that you know when it will grab Buzz then stand just left of there and spam the whip remembering to aim high as well. As long as Buzz doesn't go very far in each cycle the claw won't get him. But if I remember the game correctly, the very last cycle allows you to lose Buzz and still beat the level (since that's basically the story anyway). I could be wrong though.
I was honestly taken aback at how tough this one was. I agree the Genesis version is superior for various reasons. Tho the Claw machine boss battle is a real tumor on Genesis
yes the colors in super Nintendo was better .. but notice how sharp & crispy the SEGA mega drive footage are , compared to the blurry SNES footage 3:36
Man I slept on this one when it came out. It looks amazing. I remember being strangely opposed to 3D animation as a kid. I was worried it would replace traditional animation. Turns out I was right, but Toy Story is still a great film.
When comparing this game to new supermariobros wii, the graphics and sounds are almost just as good like that game, it really pushes the snes hardware to it’s absolute limit. It looks and sounds more like a 32bit game.
I owned Toy Story and The Lion King for SNES as a kid. I'm quite surprised people think of them as super difficult games today. Back then, I was frustrated by Super Empire Strikes Back and Super Ghosts and Ghouls as too difficult to beat games. These were the easy ones for me. It's interesting to hear how other people, and SNESDrunk, encounter them today. Great video as always.
Well, I know a cheat that will give you infinite lives, and you always take damage but never have to start over. If you go on the first level and go to drawer where you get the army men, go on the middle shelf, get to the right side edge, and crouch for a few seconds, if your lives start spinning you've performed it correctly. Don't know if this only works on snes, but that's just my experience.
It’s cool that SNES drunk mentions the movie was ambitious, much like the game and does it ever show. I own the cardboard case Sega Genesis version and it’s pretty neat.
You certainly can't accuse this game of being a rushed cash grab with a license slapped on it. It's like every significant short sequence of the movie was made into an entire level. Woody and Buzz sneaking into Pizza Planet in fast food wrappers was like, what, 10 seconds of screentime if any? Even made a level based on Sid burning a hole in Woody's head, even though the cereal he dunks his head in is the one inaccurate thing in the game.
I had the SNES version, but after playing the Sega Genesis version, I felt the Genesis version was better especially cause the Genesis version add more pictures during the cutscenes and most importantly it played You Got a Friend in Me from the movie which the Super Nintendo version did not have and it also had a credit scroll at the end
I've never really played this game very much, but I do have a memory of it. I was in a Toys R' Us in 1996 checking out Super Mario 64. (Mario can do karate now?!) When I grew tired of waiting for a turn on the display, I wandered down the game aisle and saw the SNES display with a copy of Toy Story plugged in. There was nobody at this display on account of the SNES being old news now and Toy Story having released the previous year, unlike the N64 which had a small crowd. I entertained myself for a bit, marveling at the 3d looking scrolling background and large, detailed sprites.
If I want to play a platformer with cheap hits and floaty controls I’ll play road runner Death Valley rally. Thanks for another awesome review snes drunk!

It kind of makes logical sense in a way, the ring is the hard part, the string wouldn't hurt at all. You do adjust to it.
This game was notoriously hard for me as a kid but I loved it.
Having beaten this game as a 6yr; this is surprising to me that that this falls into the “mighta been fun but the game is too hard in an unfair way” category 🤷♂️
You're a better gamer than George Wood.
I totally agree man. I beat it when I was 8 and even then I thought it was average difficulty.
This was one of the best birthday presents I ever received. I played the crap out of this game. Yeah, some of it was cheap, some of it was hard, but it was all worth it!
When I was a kid, I was obsessed with this game. I was already a toy story fanatic in my youth, and would watch let’s plays and even a review from a crummy public access tv show from the 90s over and over again. I even ripped off portions of levels for stories that I wrote. I didn’t even play the game until a year or so ago, and it’s a flawed but really fun way to kill an hour, once you figure out its quirks.
It seems a lot of people just can't get past the RC car part early in the game even though the controls are pretty simple. they just don't seem to understand that left doesn't mean you're traveling left it means you're turning left and right doesn't mean you're traveling right that means you're turning right. Honestly I think the hardest level on the game is when you're actually racing out of Sid's house and occasionally that stupid dog scud shows up and causes you to have to be in the middle of the screen instead of the left.
The soundtrack to most of the levels were super catchy. The level I could never beat was the claw machine level (saving buzz levels) and the song from that level has forever been stuck in my head.
The Claw Boss Theme is the best track in the game, and one of the best in gaming
Hot danm i hated this game. But
It did have a charm to it.
Yeah, absolutely it has that feel like it was made difficult so you couldn't beat it in a single rental.
I'm saying YES, no doubt about it. Great game!
I always had trouble in the RC car level .
I grew up with this game. I revisited it last year and it is still a good play yet frustrating. Great video.
I promise the Sega version ain't easier lol
YOOOOOOOO I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO COVER THIS ONE FOREVER AAAAAAA
I had the Game Boy version of this game as a kid and it was absolutely horrible.
I absolutely loved this game and the movie when I was younger. I knew the difficulty was going to be addressed and that's really sad they did that for a clearly child's game.
Nah. Cartridges had limited space back then especially. You can beat most games from that era in under an hour if you're good. They didn't want people spending $40+ for a game and beating it in an hour; hence them raising the difficulty.
I really love this series and the short, straight to the point reviews. I've discovered several great games like E.V.O, Terranigma, and Ragnacenty just to name a few.
Can’t believe you actually finished this, way to power through the buzz tire boss!
is this pre-rendered like DKC...É
this game ruined my childhood
The frame rate in that 3D level is amazing for the SNES! Sure, the field of view is really low, and there's some texture warp that would makes the PS1 blush, but holy cow, that is a solid 30+ FPS at what seems to be all times. Compare that to Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, Faceball 2000, or Jurassic Park and it's a night and day difference.
There aren't any enemies any gunfire or anything of note going on. It's just empty wandering around a maze to pick up aliens.
It's not comparable to doom by any stretch of the imagination. Unless you wanted to compare it to an empty doom with no guns and no enemies. I bet that would run a solid 30+ FPS too.
I think the guy from the channel "Game Hut" helped make the game and has a video on how they did the 3D levels.
My childhood
Here's where I fell in love with digitized sprites as well as emulation, haha
The controls of the RC stage are infuriating.
Had this bad boy for sega
The Claw is one of the most stressful levels I've ever played I think.
Totally, I could never get the hang of it
After a while, the controls start to make sense, whip forward once or twice then whip upward to launch the aliens up high and memorize the claw's pattern so that you know when it will grab Buzz then stand just left of there and spam the whip remembering to aim high as well. As long as Buzz doesn't go very far in each cycle the claw won't get him. But if I remember the game correctly, the very last cycle allows you to lose Buzz and still beat the level (since that's basically the story anyway). I could be wrong though.
It's the music as well that makes it so stressful.
Wait till you get to Roller Bob
I was honestly taken aback at how tough this one was. I agree the Genesis version is superior for various reasons. Tho the Claw machine boss battle is a real tumor on Genesis
yes the colors in super Nintendo was better .. but notice how sharp & crispy the SEGA mega drive footage are , compared to the blurry SNES footage 3:36
Man I slept on this one when it came out. It looks amazing. I remember being strangely opposed to 3D animation as a kid. I was worried it would replace traditional animation. Turns out I was right, but Toy Story is still a great film.
When comparing this game to new supermariobros wii, the graphics and sounds are almost just as good like that game, it really pushes the snes hardware to it’s absolute limit.
It looks and sounds more like a 32bit game.
I owned Toy Story and The Lion King for SNES as a kid. I'm quite surprised people think of them as super difficult games today. Back then, I was frustrated by Super Empire Strikes Back and Super Ghosts and Ghouls as too difficult to beat games. These were the easy ones for me. It's interesting to hear how other people, and SNESDrunk, encounter them today. Great video as always.
Well, I know a cheat that will give you infinite lives, and you always take damage but never have to start over. If you go on the first level and go to drawer where you get the army men, go on the middle shelf, get to the right side edge, and crouch for a few seconds, if your lives start spinning you've performed it correctly. Don't know if this only works on snes, but that's just my experience.
It’s cool that SNES drunk mentions the movie was ambitious, much like the game and does it ever show. I own the cardboard case Sega Genesis version and it’s pretty neat.
You certainly can't accuse this game of being a rushed cash grab with a license slapped on it. It's like every significant short sequence of the movie was made into an entire level. Woody and Buzz sneaking into Pizza Planet in fast food wrappers was like, what, 10 seconds of screentime if any? Even made a level based on Sid burning a hole in Woody's head, even though the cereal he dunks his head in is the one inaccurate thing in the game.
The graphics look impressive here but a bit like DKC they look pretty terrible on an HDTV, much nicer on a crt I expect.
I had the SNES version, but after playing the Sega Genesis version, I felt the Genesis version was better especially cause the Genesis version add more pictures during the cutscenes and most importantly it played You Got a Friend in Me from the movie which the Super Nintendo version did not have and it also had a credit scroll at the end
I grew up with the Genesis version. I can't recall even seeing the Pizza Planet stuff before. I must have not gotten very far.
He didn’t mention that the Genesis version doesn’t have the 3D corridor level
@@madpossum24 Yes it does.
@@madpossum24 It does. You’re thinking of the PC version.
I have a fond memory for this game. I never completed it as a kid, but I did recently.
Game is crazy ambitious but a bit sloppy. It’s worth playing at least once just to see how impressive it is. Good vid as always
One of my favorite games based on films between Batman Returns and Aladdin for the Super Nes
I've never really played this game very much, but I do have a memory of it. I was in a Toys R' Us in 1996 checking out Super Mario 64. (Mario can do karate now?!) When I grew tired of waiting for a turn on the display, I wandered down the game aisle and saw the SNES display with a copy of Toy Story plugged in. There was nobody at this display on account of the SNES being old news now and Toy Story having released the previous year, unlike the N64 which had a small crowd. I entertained myself for a bit, marveling at the 3d looking scrolling background and large, detailed sprites.
I beat that game back in...1996? Using a keyboard in my windows 95 computer. Geez, how I was that patient?...
If I want to play a platformer with cheap hits and floaty controls I’ll play road runner Death Valley rally. Thanks for another awesome review snes drunk!
