Is Biker Mice From Mars Worth Playing Today? - SNESdrunk

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.

Absolutely love this game as a kid!!! Born in 1986!!! Had a blast 💥 of biker Mars!! Remember me an my lil brother will rent this game from block buster, and play play an play all day

[@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.

[@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

[@8thLife]

I always figured this was a simple racing game. Cool to learn about how much detail there actually is within the game!

[@luismejiagonzalez3342]

Best multiplayer snes game to me. Use to love the show and the game when I was a child. It gave me the most adrenalinic moments of my gaming life, and that was a couple years ago, not even in my childhood. I´m really glad that you finally did a proper review for this game that is so special to me, cheers from Perú

[@Diepzeevis]

Legitimately one of my favourite SNES games ever. Found it in a bargain bin one time, bought based on the licence alone (had no idea about the game, loved the cartoon) and was both overwhelmed and overjoyed by its greatness. Could easily still play it today.

[@edwintorres2530]

Had this game as a kid and loved it!!! So glad you finally gave it its own video. Keep these great videos coming man!

[@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.

[@malvessidrums]

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.

[@rafael_moreira]

Didnt even watch the video, but came here to say that this is one of my favorite SNES game. At least on Co-op this game is perfect. So many fun times and good memories from this... Now im gonna watch the video. Thanks mr Drunk.

[@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 regret have never played that one back the the days. The game tiles are so well drawn and have such a diverse palette that it genuinely looks like a 32-bit game.

I had been anticipating you reviewing this one. Probably one of the more high profile SNES games left you hadn't reviewed individually. It's a great game and I like it more than Rock n' Roll Racing myself as well. It's just got such a fun, arcade-y '90s vibe to it.

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.

[@Diepzeevis]

lmao ikr, I only ever played Modo

[@megamarsonic]

0:46 That one was a childhood favorite of mine. My favorite episode was when David Schultz made a special guest appearance and asked Stossel if he thought the fossils were fake.

[@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!

[@Best-Match]

I love the sheer amount of Stossel in this channel. No one else is bringing up Stossel and they should be

[@MarMaxGaming]

I just played through this game - and once you play Hard, that’s when things get frustratingly cheap… Get through that? You unlock Super Hard mode. Limburger is actually broken, you can rock the D pad and keep tapping the R buttons, even on straight aways you’ll be boosting like crazy.. that’s how I got through Super Hard.

Plus, I have such a crush on Charley on the show, she's definitely hella thicc.

[@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!!!

[@Choralone422]

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! Thanks for reviewing.

[@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.

[@sandyamaulana2317]

I remember renting SNES for hours (paid by the hour) with some neighborhood kids to play this game. Some of us didn't even know each other at first, and we bonded over playing this game because we all loved the show and the solid gameplay (and humor) that the game offered. Good times.

[@Zeburaman2005]

I remember playing this once in a store back in the days. I chose Limburger and proceeded to completely own each circuit due to how overpowered he gets. Fun times.

[@PistolPattt]

With Vinney and Karbunkle after getting speed boosts off of turns or mashing B button you can keep tapping the break button to maintain their boost speed which keeps building up to the point where no one else can keep up. Coupled with their acceleration speed it puts these two characters in a league of their own. Don't even need engines to lap the AI several times in a race.

[@PsychoJosh]

I love Biker Mice from Mars and I never realized there was a SNES game until much later in my life. I really wish I had known about it as a kid. I always watched the show and wondered why there wasn't a video game. Also, to be fair, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" sounds as made up as you can get, who would've thought that a property with a name as on-the-nose as that would go on to become a legendary franchise? Biker Mice from Mars sounds tame in comparison. My favorite mouse was Modo

[@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
