Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage (SNES) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

[@NintendoComplete]

Maximum Carnage was a surprisingly good beat 'em up that played well and even now still looks great. If you're a fan of Spidey or beat 'em ups, this is a must play!

[@Toomnyusernae]

Well played. You knew enough to get by. Are you aware of the punch exploit? If you tap up or down you reset your attack string. Lots of random secrets in this game, lots forgotten. Thank you for playing through as Spider-Man.

[@divisionn6380]

im a fan of venom sooooooo (:)

[@SiTnSiDwAyZ]

was this ported to snes from genesis or vis versa, i played the sega version didnt realize it was on snes too?

[@VaktheFox]

@@SiTnSiDwAyZ It was released on both at the same time.

[@QTCutes]

There s a lot of these beat em ups that still hold up. Streets of Rage 2, Spiderman( the one proceeding Maximum Carnage) X Men Arcade , TMNT 2 3 and In Time, Avengers, etc.

[@donskiver]

One of LJNs best games. Possibly the best they ever published.

[@greensun1334]

Alien 3 - a nice Game - is also published by LJN!

[@Slym_Slayer]

The only decent game by LJN

[@the-NightStar]

@@Slym_Slayer No, their WWF games were also fairly decent as well.

[@toniogarcia1900]

Jaws nes is okay but it's more of nostalgia next door neighbor's Friday night sleepovers trying to beat it till one night we did it But I totally agree this game is one of laughing joking numbnuts best game

[@toniogarcia1900]

​@@greensun1334ok K8 Ki.

[@JBurnz001]

One of my favorite games of all time. I never beat it BUT the music, the gameplay, and the storyline was 🔥🔥🔥

[@DrCash7]

It was all about he boss double smash. Once you figured that out the game was repeat-a-beatable.

[@Supperdude9]

Never beat it myself. You're not alone.

[@solohans4740]

I went back and beat it as a 27 year old I had too

[@athleticgeek8997]

If they had passwords I maybe could’ve beaten it. Having to always go back to the beginning frustrated me to the point to where I lost interest in it as a kid. Still a great game I just got tired of always having to go back to the beginning after progressing.

[@bigheartproductions5603]

Man loved this game but it was so hard and yes going back to the beginning just demotivated me to finish.

[@gregthesplintercell]

Don't forget this game had a red cartridge.

[@diegomelendez9918]

Yep I remembered I rented it that way

[@alexgudaev7945]

Did it? I used to have a standard sega one

[@cooperbrown5597]

one of my favorite parts about this game is that it's pretty much Streets of rage but with some Spider-Man characters and Cloak and Dagger. Maximum Carnage is truly one of the best beat em up games and even SNES games.

[@johnprig]

Thought the same thing

[@simonmejia6896]

LJN's best game

[@ClumzorZ]

Easily the sharpest kid on that short bus.

[@samkinison2375]

That's not saying much

[@THEREALGAMEMASTER-gz5xg]

they never made this game they just publish this game

[@DarkChaosElfilis45]

Acclaim also published the game alongside LJN.

[@_PuppetMaster86]

Their only good game.

[@CyberKnightProbably]

0:51 I loved that moment in Spider-Man where he said “Pizza time” and pizza’d all over the screen.

[@legoclayface]

I just pizza'd in my pants bro

[@tthomaselli2]

When I was a kid, I always thought it was so cool to play as Venom in this game. On the other hand, I also thought to myself "Isn't Venom one of the bad guys--technically?...".

[@mrdinosaur6495]

Well, venom is a protagonist in the game because he and carnage are enemies.

[@KaosNova2]

Venom hates Carnage. Because Carnage is a “bad guy” who murders innocent people. In fact Carnage was the villain in the Venom sequel

[@theprowler18]

During the time of this incredibly insane, 90's infused mayhem of crossovers, Venom was an Anti-Hero and became the Lethal Protector, after defeating Carnage with Spidey and both him with Spidey formed an uneasy truce to operate in their own areas, without interference from each other. As you guess it, it didn't last! X)

[@spoonshiro]

One of the best comic book adaptations of its time. Killer soundtrack, it keeps the bright colors and onomatopoeia sound effects and is just a solid beat-em-up. Only downside is it lacks a two player mode!

[@sroydetroy6404]

The rock and roll music in this game is sick.

[@bennybenjben9594]

Its essentially black sabbath. If your a fan then it probably sounds familiar. This game stole alot of their songs without paying royalties. Banging soundtrack for sure.

[@joeyjo-joshabadu9636]

​@@bennybenjben9594only one track, which mixes up the Mob Rules with Randy Rhoades solo from Children of the Grave off Ozzy's live Tribute album. The title track was written by comedy rock/metal band Green Jelly aka Green Jello

I literally had no idea you could defeat Doppelganger like how you see at 8:33-8:38 when I was a kid.

[@cawrhy]

Same! Nor did I know about the secret room right at the start of the climb portion just before this.

[@RaptorJesus720]

I rented this from Blockbuster like four times before my parents finally bought it for me.

Haha same

[@cradleofdeath123]

so even back then, marvel had been doing post credit scenes

[@sonic9723]

Used to rent this a lot back in the 90's.Compared to others games that Ljn and Acclaim made this Maximum Carnage is a masterpiece especially when it comes to controls.They used to program hard rock gameplay even Fred Flintstone would complain about!!!LOL

[@Bloodreign1]

Misconception, LJN and Acclaim never made a game at all, everything under their umbrella were just published by them, always made by an outside software company, a different one for many of the games that bear their logo.

[@awizard2006]

OMG I freaking loved this game when I was 12 years old!!! I ever remember that intro music!!!!

[@moncreebrown948]

Had this game as a kid, so many great memories.

[@mrcokez1]

i still have the original red cart , i thought it looked so cool when i was a kid

[@isaacinch8378]

Same

[@rcblazer]

Most of their games ranged from mediocre to just awful, but with Maximum Carnage LJN managed to make a game that was actually pretty awesome! A beat-em-up where you can play as Spider-Man and Venom, and have access to their super powers with a pretty rocking soundtrack!

[@Bloodreign1]

LJN never made a game in their existence, they only existed as a publisher, and another arm of Acclaim, who was also just a publisher.

[@sonarabit]

​@@Bloodreign1 to be fair most ljn published games sucked and it means there's a pattern with that it's ljn's fault. It means that it doesn't matter who makes it if it's a ljn game it's going to suck. I can prove this with the company rare. They make good games like battletoads and donkey Kong country. But with Beetlejuice it sucked. So it means it's ljn's fault for rushing them or maybe it's the film company's too. It just so happens maximum carnage is ok but they go lucky that time.

[@xxi__wing__ixx1870]

I can never beat this game alone but can on Separation Anxiety. Both fun nostalgic games.

[@Lorenzo3K]

Separation Anxiety was way easier than this. Carnage was a cheap bastard. They nerfed him in the sequel.

[@gamerzero7735]

Original Venom line-"But we've come back to make sure that this time, you DIIIEEE!!"

Got this game for my 8th birthday in Jan 1995 , never was able to beat it but I loved this game

[@Jussi.Ihander]

That fight against the bald thugs at the end of the alleway stage, where Cloak and the blonde girl saves your ass... Oh how I tried to beat them all every time I was playing. This one time I would have succeeded, but when the last four of them come at you, you can only beat three of them, and the last one cant't be beaten because he won't lose his health after he is one punch away from defeat

[@MGDAerodynamic]

I beat the four guys at once and maaaan I only did it one time. On the Sega Genesis version it's way tougher.

This game, Spider Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage, based on the 1993 comic book story arc of the same name, features numerous heroes, including Spider-Man, Venom, and their allies from the Marvel Comics fictional universe like Captain America, Black Cat, Iron Fist, Cloak and Dagger, Deathlok, Morbius and Firestar, all teaming up to battle an onslaught of villains led by Carnage, including Shriek, Doppelganger, Demogoblin and Carrion. This single-player side-scrolling beat 'em up (with a format similar to Technos' Double Dragon and Capcom's Final Fight), the player controls Spider-Man and Venom through various levels to stop the supervillain Carnage and his team, as well as hundreds of criminals they inspire in their wake, from taking over the city. The two 16-bit versions are virtually identical.The first print of the game for the Super NES were sold in red-colored cartridge. Later prints came in standard-colored cartridge. It was followed up by a sequel titled Venom/Spider-Man: Separation Anxiety. Maximum Carnage is one of the first video games to be directly based on a comic book story, rather than simply using comics characters in a standard video game "action/adventure" plot. Many of the game's cutscenes feature semi-animated versions of art taken directly from the comics. It was also the first Spider-Man video game to receive a teen rating (while the SNES re-release version had a rating of K-A, the Genesis version was rated MA-13).

[@ekkys04]

That was cool, seeing the stages that I could never get to as a kid

[@larrynintendo6838]

Intro scared the HECK out of me when I was a little kid, I had to watch from under the covers while my older brother played 😂

[@savagewolver8541]

It had a fake out ending? Kinda unheard of back then.

[@Drac39]

These SNES beatem ups were magical. I could play nothing but this and Batman Returns and be content

I was never able to see anyone complete this as a kid. It always felt too difficult for me and my brothers. Separation Anxiety seemed a bit easier but in terms of overall quality it felt like a downgrade, especially in the graphics.

[@MGDAerodynamic]

This is true. You can find and get more extra lives as Spider-Man in comparison to Venom in Separation Anxiety. Venom is the tougher challenge to beat Separation Anxiety with.

I used to play this with my cousin. I always find it amusing with the Iron Fist entrance song is from Enter the Dragon. Also I remember this was based on the amazing (pun unintended) Spiderman cartoon from the 90's :D

[@johnpike7141]

Actually, this game is a straight-up adaptation of one of the longer and more heavily involved comic book story arcs from Marvel Comics in the 90’s, literally titled “Maximum Carnage”. I don’t think that there’s any other game like this in that regard, having a video game be a straight-up adaptation of a comic book story arc.

[@hanchiman]

@@johnpike7141 I always thought it was sort of a cash in on that truly great cartoon.

I always preferred this version over the Genesis version because I felt the music sounded much better on the SNES on this game.

[@Sholities]

"All my enemies keep returning and I have to fight them again..." That's why you KILL THEM! So they don't come back and keep killing innocent people. This goes TRIPLE for you, Batman! Also, great game. I managed to beat this game once. And I could've swore I had no more lives when I was fighting Carnage. Felt like the game was saying, "Last life? He got a few more hits to go, so here's one more life. Make it count!" And I did!

[@mrdinosaur6495]

Well, if you kill them, that would make you just as bad as them, if not worse. Also, Batman originally did kill his enemies.

You missed an assist Rooftop 2 inside that tree, An assist in beginning of Prospect Park swing up top right near entrance.
