I assumed Lunar was more of a dog or wolf instead of a fox since his vehicle/mech is called Cerberus α.

For me Treasure made quite some bangers back in the day, be it Gunstar Heroes on the Genesis/Mega Drive, Guardian Heroes on the Sega Saturn or... Mischief Maker\ on the N64. Treasure with Irem made most of the games I like allot.

Shake Shake!

This sort of unscripted, unfocused review style feels straight out of 2010 youtube, just with better camera quality, lol, but I feel you. Mischief Makers was a surprisingly solid game back in the day. One of the best 2D games in an era where the industry had largely abandoned 2D.

One of my top titles! I also enjoyed Gunstar Heroes on Genesis.

*anyone* remembering Mischief Makers :D I love that game so much, but I never got the DAMN RACE GEM D:<

Conker's bad fur Day

I had this on the PlayStation, treasure was a beast

I like that I could tell by the character design from the thumbnail that it was developed by Treasure. Never heard of this one, but the Gunstar Heroes and Guardian Heroes series were some of my favorite games growing up.

Loved this game forever. I feel like the MM:Zero games are the kinda spiritual successors. Love them too! I'm playing 30XX on the Steam Deck and the gameplay there compared to seeing Mischief makers for the first time in awhile is surprisingly similar.

I have 100%ed the game. in fact, there's one extra gold gem that can be easily missed. You get an extra gold gem in the ending if you've gotten an average of an A rank for every stage. (Or was it an A on everyyhing? Or an average of S? S ranks are possible on some levels.) If that's done, the ending changes slightly in a place involving Teran (the Clancer you control on those two levels). You need that gold gem to see the very _very_ final part of the ending. It's definitely an underrated classic!

Treasure made a lot of great games, but I'd consider this their weakest. The bizarre glowing Scream mask faces being copy/pasted all over the game killed it for me.

You should try Illbleed for dreamcast

My most underrated N64 game is Hybrid Heaven. I have had such a blast with it but I never hear anyone talk about it.

This was one of those games that magically showed up in my collection. I don't remember asking for it or who (if anyone) bought it for me, but what I do know is I had so much fun playing it. It took me so many tries to get that gold gem DURING the ending cutscene. I've told many of my friends that they should try it and most of them look at me like one of the Clancers. The boss music was awesome.

The Top 5 Underrated N64 games are: Mischief Makers Mystical Ninja starring Goemon Ogre Battle 64 Aero Fighters Assault Shadow Man Only one of these games can be played easily on modern hardware these days.

I remember renting this game as a kid and not realizing that it relied heavily on the d-pad

I'm not sure how well it sold, but I remember HATING it as a kid. Back then I was like 11 or 12, and everyone really wanted 3D games (especially in the West). I rented this game from Blockbuster, and I was so disappointed. I tried to push through it, but eventually dropped it & rented Battle Tanx instead (loved that game)! I wish I gave it more of a chance. If I ever get an N64 again I'll definitely give it another try. This & Goemon were two 2D games I remember really not giving a fair shake.

FYI Mischief Makers was far and away Treasure's best selling game at the time (something like 20,000 units). Back in around year 2000 I got an N64 precisely for the three Treasure games on it, and I loved working through Mischief Makers despite it being the least favourite. Anyway, I enjoyed your thoughts on it particularly as I can only recall the odd scene here and there. I think I'd struggle mastering it today because I'm too old and impatient for the fiddlier aspects of its design. For what it's worth my all time favourites Treasure games are probably Sin and Punishment and Gunstar Heroes.

Got 100% completion with a friend years ago, some of the fights/requirements were rough. Marina turning into a real woman actually depends on your age you put at beginning of file - if under 16 she is a young girl instead.

Boy, am I glad to see you, Marina! 😍😵‍💫

A friend of mine and I wanted this game when it first came out with the N64, but we never got it back then. I would later find out that my head just didn't agree with the N64. I have simulation sickness in some 3D games, and the N64 was particularly bad about triggering it, so I didn't own an N64 for very long. I did eventually find a copy of Mischief Makers and got it for my friend. I knew he wanted it, I so I figured why not pick it up for him? Of course, he's the guy I bought The Misadventures of Tron Bonne for. I also got him a copy of Skies of Arcadia Legends. Also, I had a tendency to dump games on him if I didn't get a chance to play them. He got a copy of Golden Sun 1 and 2 from me, Final Fantasy III(U.S., so Final Fantasy VI), and even Capcom vs Tatsunoko. So, anyway, I never played this one. Apparently, it started out being developed for the SNES, but got moved over to the N64. I watched my friend play it for about thirty minutes. It didn't trigger my sickness terribly much, but it was enough that I decided I was going to pass on it. Oh, yeah. The record for a game triggering my sickness goes to an N64 game called _Space Station Silicon Valley_ . My friend and I watched the intro, and I watched him play the game for about a minute, and I was in REALLY bad shape. I was nauseated and about to get a headache.

This was the game that introduced me to S rankings, 20 years ago. Just casually optimizing my A times when suddenly an S showed up. Love this game. Shake, shake!

I actually got this game when it was new, but I've since lost it in a less than amicable moving house. It felt like I'd found some hidden weird gem. It was right as the weirder anime were getting ported to the US, I think, but I didn't get the connection. There were other weird games, like Lode Runner 3D. But that one felt so much more creepy, while this one was just unpredictably weird to me. I played DK64 a lot more, but I still loved this game.

#goldeneye, #banjokazooie? Pretty scummy stuff.

fun fact, I bought this game in the 90s and I found it IMPOSSIBLE to play. Did you know if you fail a level enough it will allow you to skip it? It's rare but it happened to me. True story, this game is in a time capsule somewhere that I gave to my mom to place at one of her jobs 27 years ago.

Damn. I had no idea there were still hidden gems waiting for me to play on N64. Shoutout to Iggy's Wrecking Balls as another understated treasure.

While watching this video, I can't help to wonder, what's in your pocket? Is that a hamster?

Mischief Makers?! HELL YEAH! SHAKE-SHAKE I was obsessed with this game as a kid, it felt so good dashing around shaking stuff, the track and field level went so hard. getting all of the main gems was almost impossible for us.

I like your style, nice vid

It may have influenced me a lot.

Honestly? I do often think of Mischief Makers when I think of the N64. Also Snowboard Kids? Great little racing game, that. I had my first job in the late 90s so I bought a LOT of N64 games... Anyone else remember Beetle Adventure Racing? Anyway... Great video. Definitely an oft-forgotten gem.

I loved this game growing up. Best of luck to you on this youtube journey of yours, bud!

I am a HUGE fan of this game. Just released a video about the music. Great video!!

I remember this game, but never bothered with it. Now after seeing this video, I regret not giving it a chance. It looks like something I would've enjoyed.

This game epitomizes memories of my late brother. Thank you for this video. Helps us oldheads more than you know.

I see your Mischief Makers and I'll raise you Flying Dragon (if you like fighting games, it's two -- see for yourself) on Nintendo 64. Seriously, I'll give Mischief Makers a shot.

It's a master piece, definitely agree on being the most underrated n64 game by far. Top 10 best game on the console (1 OoT/Majora's, 2 Mario64, 3 Perfect Dark/ Golden Eye, 4 Banjo1&2, 5 SmashBros, 6 Mario Kart, 7 Diddy Kong R., 8 DK64, 9 1080, 10 Mischief Makers)

It's tragic we didn't see more side scrollers on the N64 than we did. Mischief Makers alone showed the insane potential the system had for them.

Mischief Makers was Awesome, it's such a shame hardly any creative cool games like that are out now. This was a game that was fun the whole way through, no padding for length, and had so much personality and character. Great game in every way. Definitely prefer it over Mario 64 which is actually kind of bland looking back on it, especially compared to Mischief Makers.

"Help me Marinaaaaaaaaaaa!" What an underrated classic.

I have a inability to not have flashbacks to Caddicarus when I have this series pop into my head

i remember getting this game at toys are us, i picked it up based on the box art like you did when you were 9 years old....this game was the shit

Big tits lil feet: a hit in any mans league

It might be time for me to revisit this. I could never get it into it. I tried it originally as a kid when it was released and probably didn't even play an hour before giving up because of the strange controls. I also tried it a few years ago on an emulator and didn't make it much further. But it has something appealing about it that makes me want to give it another go!

Oh are you talking about MY MOST FAVORITE N64 GAME EVER, MISCHIEF MAKERS?! SHAKE-SHAKE!

bro barely uploads an not even 5 videos in an and hes in the forest moood

I remember byuing my Birthday Pack around 2005 used for only 15€ and playing it in 2006 for over 120h compliting it with all 180 Emblems to play the Green Hill Zone. Good times... I´m so glad that I bought most of my Dreamcast collection in the early 2000s while they where cheap. Illbleed seald for 20€ was a nice one ^^

More love for one of the best N64 games! It´s by far the 2D game on the console. I also have a japanese CIB version beside my PAL version cause the cover is just so damn awesome and I like the japanese voices in the game. Marina is such a cool character and it´s nice to see her in smash remix. Couple years ago made my own review of this Jem to spread the message what a masterpiece it is. My favorite Treasure game is a close one for Sin and Punishment, even thou IKARUGA and Radiant Silvergun come realy close. Oh and fav N64 game will allways be Star Fox 64
