"John Stossel Apostles with Colossal Fossils" Impressive, most impressive.

[@Snyperwolf91]

Funfact: The first track you race has a soundtrack that is a snesification of Judas priest "Riding on the wind" . Awesome game that i recommend it for everyone.

[@williamzeo2493]

I never will forget the chapter that they travel back in time and teached King Arthur how to make BEER!!!! I was lucky to be a kid on the 90's, the cartoon was top notch and the toys was rad as well, since I'm not from the US the toys as expensive as shit, I always wanted to have a Vinnie and his bike. I love so much this game, I think that it deserve a remake treatment like they did with Wild Guns and Ninja Warriors, I believe that Limburger and Vinnie are the most broken characters of this game, latter is Throttle. A thing that most people never noticed are that the good and evil characters will ignore you if you're also a good or evil character until you shoot one of them.

[@adrenalinex4]

William Zeo i know man the toys were awesome! i had vinnie & throttle but i never had the bikes 😢

[@Sparkbomber]

There's actually some new 3rd party companies that make new figures with the bikes... Or 4th party ones (ko's) which can look presentable if you paint them.

[@jackfables3470]

@@perunplague9794 Yeah. Product placement tends to be too intrusive and hard to justify. However, at the very least, it makes sense, in the TMNT universe, since the main characters are addicted to pizza.

[@VideoSpielplatz1]

thats one of my absolute favourites from back in the day. the show as well as the game. i think this is even better than rock n roll racing

[@chrusader5134]

Great game. Loved the cartoon when I was a kid. Beat the game as Vinnie on _super hard mode_ back in the day. Rock on citizens!

[@deabreu.tattoo]

I remember seeing this back in the day and thinking it was a kids version or rock n roll racing, passed very hard. I wasn't too familiar with the cartoon, our schools are part-time in Brazil, and, for some reason, kid's TV was only in the morning, when I was at school, lol. Anyway, gonna give this another chance, some 25 years later

[@williamzeo2493]

O cartoon era muito dahora e o jogo é melhor ainda, nessa época o desenho passava na Globo e se não me engano eu assistia aos sábados.

[@louiemalvessi]

Bah o jogo eh uma maravilha. Eu estudava de tarde mas via o desenho no CN depois da aula, ai por 94/95

[@filosofenvacker1226]

ROCK roll racing is a classic, and better game for me, but this was a fun game i played among my 300 -400 games. 😉

[@urias134]

It won't dissappoint you. I prefer this game solo carreer over RnR racing since there's more strategy in race, compared to RnR's.

[@Jayce_Alexander]

This was an amazing combat racer. A real Konami gem. Similar to Rock 'n Roll Racing, but I agree with Drunk, I'd say this one is actually more fun and has a lot more personality.

Love this game. I was playing it on emulator few days ago and Modo is my favorite. The music is so cool! Great review, Drunk!

[@kingextreme88]

Whoever disliked this was a Ninja Turtles fan. All kidding aside, this game is hella fun. If you can manage to get the controls down top-notch and get used to the gameplay, you can definitely enjoy Biker Mice From Mars. Plus, I have such a crush on Charley on the show, she's definitely hella thicc.

[@duysin4]

God, I love this game so much. So much that I still remember the password for a fully upgraded Vinnie. And I agree about how nuanced some of the racing mechanics are, those little techniques you can master and some shortcuts that you can take (mainly using Vinnie). Great video man, you just earned a sub. :)

I just discovered this game yesterday while perusing through my SNES ROM collection. It's pretty fun. Isometric racers were never really my thing back in the NES & SNES days but it's still a good game!

[@blackidna]

2:40 that's Fred, a masochistic mutant created by Dr. Karbunkle to experiment his inventions on (especially the most painful/humiliating ones) and does some side jobs for the villain as well (such as being Limburger's limo driver). He speaks like Barney Gumble and whenever somebody hurts him, he asks for more. Big BMFM fan over here. Modo is my favorite and I finished the game with Vinnie. Thank you for reviewing it!

[@eb937]

3:45 - "I would start with Throttle or Modo as they are the most balanced." LOL! Modo is actually very OP and so broken. His bionic crash serves as a secondary turbo boost while doing a shit-ton of damage to anyone he touches.

This game and Rock&Roll Racing were my favorite racing games back in the SNES era. Something about that perspective really clicked with me.

[@ThePWing90]

This channel deserves a lot more subs! I really love your content.

[@SmashTom]

In case anyone is wondering, the little 'thing' you mention in the video a racer transforms into is a character from the show called Fred the Mutant. He's a bit of a side character and kinda goofy (like an Igor type personality); and usually subject of painful experiments by Dr. Karbuncle. I love watching this show growing up. The cartoon still holds up today (the original one) even if it's a little corny at times. Let's rock... and RIDE!!!

[@brucemckinlay9739]

Severely underrated gem of a game. I played a ton of it back in the (later) SNES days. Limburger was my go-to I loved turning around and shooting people behind me lol.

"Trucker Geese from Tallahassee"! Man that came unexpected. I almost spat my Coffee all over the Place :-D

[@dreammfyre]

The pixel art was definitely on par and ahead of its time here. Reminds me kind of a GBA game, which to me was a continuation that cartoony style from Capcom’s CPS2 games and even some of Konami’s own like Turtles in Time. The gameplay on the other hand looks extremely derivative and bolted together...

[@danilomazur9424]

This game is simply awesome, I've played for years and years, never gets old.

[@inceptional]

Most most impressive to me here is that every single racer is a different design visually, which is a lot of unique sprites onscreen at once. And the game really looks nice because of this, and just some really nice pixel art in general.

[@bobbyrawsknz]

You gotta do the 360 turns with Vinnie only way you can win races with him and save the jumping attack to get that final boost for the finish line

[@guitarunt]

Man, my brother and i used to watch this show. Then the video game came out and we were all in! I used to race as Dr. Karbunkle. His projectile turns the other players into a little running flower. Idk what they say when they get hit (sounds like floppy) but it made us laugh our asses off! Great memories, great game, great review!

[@daktaklakpak5059]

Loved this game as a kid. And its still fun. I find it really great, that every character plays/drives differently. And Karbunkels grapplehook is just amazing. Use it right, and you get a speed boost at every corner. Slingshotting you to place 1 and victory.

Biker Mice From Mars was also a US localisation of the UK's Avenger Penguins. Why they needed to redo the show when it was from another country that speaks English I'll never know. Both shows featured a trio of beastly biker heroes who defended Big City from a villain called Doom (who looked exactly the same in both shows). Avenger Penguins was made by Cosgrove Hall, who also made Danger Mouse, Duckula, and Victor and Hugo: Bunglers in Crime.

When I got back into SNES back in 2013 I had no idea what was really out there so I just started looking for game titles of well known cartoon franchises I watched growing up in the 90s. BMFM was one of them and stands out in my mind as not only one of the best cartoons to go on a SNES outing but one of the best racers on the system too.

[@CarecaRetrogamer]

Gotta luv that game, I have never finished it, though I have a copy... it gets REALLY hard on the latest levels... If you like Rock n' Roll racing, u'll probably like this one as well...

[@MSPintail]

I genuinely think I may have been one of the best biker mice from mars players back in the mid 90's. I played this game so much, and never lost against my friends. Vinnie is by far the best character, Modo a strong second thanks to their attacks that can also be used as a speed boost and they have the best special turn speed boost that you could combo together with tapping accelerate button three times for yet another speed boost. Man i want to play this again.

Modo was the character I chose to beat the game after losing with Vinni. I rented this game when I was like 9 and no matter how many times I tried I couldn't win with Vinni unaware of the tricks you mentioned. I beat this game multiple times with Modo because he is surprisingly the most balanced. His speed is what took me to victory. I think I'll try again with Vinni. That game is always a joy to play!
