[@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.

Reminds me of TMNT 2 Arcade on NES with the Pizza Hut ads everywhere. There was a time product placement like that annoyed me but I find it weirdly charming now.

[@thebeautifulvideogame1396]

I remember realising what " from Mars" really meant when I saw those in this game at the time. Ugly product placement.

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@malvessidrums]

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

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.

[@ryanbutcher8357]

John Stosell's Apostles with Collosal Fossils? I'd watch the hell out of that series!

[@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.

[@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

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.

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. :)

[@RetroBirdGaming]

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.

Best multiplayer snes game to me. Use to love the show and the game when I was a child.

This was one that passed me by back in the day. I think I was too busy playing Metal Warriors...

[@michielkroder4031]

The Snickers product placement almost seems like a joke at the expense of... Mars.

[@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.

[@nTo-vlog]

Playing as Modo can be considered cheating.. his ability to crash others is too powerful...

[@MarceloKamui]

oh, thanks for the vid! I really loved the cartoon back in the day and the game.. wow it is great!

[@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...

[@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

[@thecorrectoification]

My personal favorite 3 random mixed things cartoon was Samurai Pizza Cats. I used to stay up all night long and watch that when it came on at like 5am when I was a kid. No joke, it was back2back with Superhuman Samurai Cyber-squad. No wonder I couldn't sleep. How could you not stay up all night for that insanity? Why was the 90's obsessed with mixing some insane absurd thing with Ninjas or Samurais?

The only problem with the game in my opinion, is the video game race camera jumps with the motorcycle. It makes everything too jerky. Otherwise, stellar game.

So I bought this game for like $1 from a flea market 5-6 years ago. Had no clue what it was about and didn't remember the cartoon - just bought it solely based on the name (and because it was $1).

Back in the day one of my friends had this game and before I ever saw it I was turned off by the name and thought it was stupid. One day he made me play and it kinda blew my mind on how good it was. I had rock n roll racing and loved that so I ended up loving this game.

[@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!!!

[@daithiocinnsealach1982]

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.

The whole Snickers bar thing was so weird to me. I mean... If the game had to endorse a chocolate bar wouldn't it have been more logical to go with the Mars Bar?

[@mightyfilm]

Of all the clearly trying to cash in off of TMNT cartoons out there, Biker Mice from Mars was the only one that was actually GOOD. Or one of the ones that was good if you count Toxic Crusaders. Good writing, good characters, a snarky sense of humor, just overall it could have been a cheap cash grab of a series (cough cough Street Sharks cough cough), but it doesn't even come off close to one. The revival episodes were also good, acting as a continuation and not a reboot, but sadly never saw much of an audience. Bad TMNT clones plagued the Turtles since their black and white comic days, but it's nice to know that there was a series that was worthy to be seen as a contemporary, rather than some 40 year old toy executive crapping out a lame copy. Also, you realize you made a video with the words "Utica" and "Isometric" in it and there's nary a Steamed Ham to be found. Someone was bound to point that out.

[@retrorun]

A SNES classic! Finished it again these days. Still a pretty fun game to play!

[@MLaker221]

I don't even have to watch the video and I know the answer is YES!!! Amazing game. They should remake this widescreen. Wait!-- I should test out that widescreen hack emulator with it. But yes, amazing game I did not grow up with not glad I've put a week into as an adult.
