You never watched Ahhh! Real Monsers?! Boy did you miss out. That show is great!

[@JReed7560]

Agreed. Great show.

[@TinyBluePuppies]

I could never get into that show.

[@oniongummy8969]

Send him to the Gromble

[@matthewlane518]

Lol I know right? There teacher, the Grundel? Or something

[@ComradeSeanski]

@@TinyBluePuppies I understand that, the show was a trip and kinda disgusting (just like rocko ) lol

[@mevb]

In Europe, the SNES and Mega Drive/Genesis version of Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow, it's called Donald in Maui Mallard. The PC version for some reason it was called Cold Shadow.

[@HybridAngelZero]

Plok, Buster Busts Loose, Maui Mallard, Cool Spot... Ah, these are beloved games from my childhood. I'd love it if more people could experience them, thank you for making this :)

[@theSato]

holy shit, you outdid yourself with the 'SSSSSNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNESDRUNK" intro to this one

[@FreetStighter]

Holy crap, I had seen my uncle playing Ardy Lightfoot and I had trying to find its name for the longest time! Thank you!

[@SNESdrunk]

Thank you for watching

[@DrMrProfessorPatrick]

Plok is one of my favorite SNES games.

[@goober69er]

I have to admit I could Not get past the final vehicle marathon at the end until the days of save states.

[@Simon0]

@@goober69er yeah goober that bit was tough. I also never quite managed to complete it

[@halyomorpha]

Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow...it's easily a top ten favorite SNES game for me. So weird, yet so great in all aspects.

[@retrogameon]

Thanks for this, SNES Drunk. I've always enjoyed platformers on the SNES and there was a lot here I wasn't aware of.

[@NinjaKurosai]

In my childhood my dad would usually end up getting me licensed games for SNES, so getting Ah Real Monsters was a breath of fresh air, even if it wasn't that great and I didn't make it far.

[@thenewsupermonkey122]

The “hi there” at the beginning is so wholesome 🥺

[@axlphishm6943]

Cool spot 😎

[@tatayaya]

Come on man! No way Cool Spot is under the radar, that game was everywhere in the 90s!

[@samuraikarasu]

Nobody every talks about Aero the Acrobat 2. Thank you for that.

[@krautgazer]

Yeah, such a great underrated gem!

[@symphomaniac]

Aero 2 is so good

[@SNESDude]

Your SNES content is by far the best on KZbin. I've discovered so many obscure games for the SNES I'd never even heard of!

[@ashleyw9307]

Plok is one of my favourite platformers on the SNES. Great art design, fantastic soundtrack and tonnes of fun. Great game.

[@kyluya]

I really enjoyed Maui mallard. it's a seriously good game. and from my understand the last licensed game released on the snes.

[@vel2118]

Maui Mallard was the one and only game that my mom ever has bought me ... she is so anti gaming but I love the game so mich

[@zenmastakilla]

@@vel2118 Borderline abusive

[@vel2118]

Kid Yami what’s that? My mom?

[@dy120481]

@@vel2118 She couldn't have been that anti-gaming.

[@TheLakabanzaichrg]

Maybe she just hated the japanese

[@leorianr]

The Go Go Akuman series was really cool. I liked the short manga drawn by Toriyama

[@toriztraducciones7470]

Great videos, man!

[@SNESdrunk]

Thanks Antonio

[@LeMel257]

My god, Tiny toons. I played that quite a bit when i was young haha

[@zackdufois]

Out to Lunch, Alfred Chicken, Super Widget - those are under the radar ;)

[@williambleby1889]

Love this channel. I can just search for almost anything snes related, however niche, and get EXACTLY what im looking for.

[@amdcolon1]

The moment you say its not to expensive you can find it for a good price is exactly the moment they raise it WTF i wish these sellers weren't subscribed to you lol. Thanks for the great content its always top notch👍👍👍👍

[@amdcolon1]

Holy crap i just realised i responded to a video from 2016 😁😁😁😁 that explains the price hike😂.

[@ellinuttan]

Love your channel :)

[@markgreen7738]

I was thinking Trunks as soon as you said and no that's not Trunks lol

[@javisarias]

I'd like to see any SNES channel talking about Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow, that's and underrated and obscure quality game

[@johnwatson2675]

Clicked because of Ahh! Real Monsters. I got the Sega Genesis game at Toys R Us back in the 90s. Completely forgot it existed. The school gym scene brought back memories. I wonder how different the SNES and Genesis versions are. IIRC it was roughly $30 even back then.

[@famyemil]

Love these videos...keep 'em coming

[@WraxTV]

Wow, I had no idea there was a Ghost Sweeper Mikami SNES game. Definitely grabbing that. Thanks for the info!

[@captainblubber]

Yeah! Cold shadow! One of my favorites. Great soundtrack as well, one of the best on SNES!

[@Michirin9801]

I love Ghost Sweeper Mikami, it's a really good game!

[@prestobizmal]

The music in Cool Spot is on point.

[@worsel555]

There was only three Indiana Jones movies and sadly no sequels to The Matrix either, only rumored crappy fan movies. *Fingers in ears, la la la la laaaa* Great video as always!

[@cashnelson2306]

you never saw aah! real monsters?? You're in your late 20s, yeah? That's wild to me, that show was everywhere

[@SNESdrunk]

Mid 30s

[@tollban]

I really LOVE the graphic style of Aaah, Real Monsters! (and of course, the cartoon) Soooo 90s!

[@Simon0]

That tiny toons game is superb. Plok is brilliant too

[@MrGageHarrison]

Finally ahh real monsters! Loved this game as a kid

[@SuperSaiyanGuyver]

5:27 "No that's not Trunks" HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT WAS MY FIRST QUESTION? ARE YOU IN MY BRAIN? IF SO, SHOULD I FINISH THIS JAR OF PEANUTS OR NOT?

[@jessefisher1809]

Haha same.

[@CyrusAnnihilator]

I love Cold Shadow, my favorite game in childhood. Need to revisit Aero and Ardy. Great list!

[@captainblubber]

Every time you mention Cold Shadow in your videos, you get a like!

[@Nathan35077]

I honestly don’t get how people hate aero the acrobat… the controls are hard because they’re supposed to be! It’s meant to be incredibly precise for a challenge. I’ve stayed up countless nights with friends/family taking turns trying to beat a level… so fun. So rewarding when you finally nail a stage!

[@diyapia]

The fact that you also hate Indiana Jones and the KOTCS makes me love your channel and work even more....How is that even possible?

[@trisonicbrandtech]

Nice list, the console has a damn near endless list of platformers (by endless, I mean hundreds) that could receive a sequel video down the line, but this does wrap up a lot of the quality under the radar stuff!

[@parkerbrown953]

I wonder if plok inspired rayman......

[@Umbrella2]

I thought that when I tried it.

[@rekmadethebeat]

Looks like it

[@zitrodivad]

that tiny toons game was one of my favorites growing up!!

[@TimBitten]

Drunk, you should really watch Ahhh, Real Monsters! It’s a great show.

[@rars0n]

Ah, Factor Five. I know they were around making good games for a long time, including for the SNES (I only recently played Super Turrican and I like it quite a bit) but I will always remember them for their brilliance in programming the amazing Nitnendo64 game Rogue Squadron. Developers like Factor Five are somewhat of a rarity in the gaming industry (especially anymore with consoles being so complex and development tools obscuring the bare metal more and more). These guys would explore every aspect of the hardware to find ways around hardware limitations, sometimes even going as far as using bugs within the hardware effectively to produce results that were otherwise impossible. This is why their N64 games have been notoriously difficult to play via emulation (because the emulators were not accurate enough to emulate the bugs... not sure if this is still the case as I have not fired up an N64 emu recently).

[@dbpooper7512]

Inspector Gadget would be a good one to look into if you ever make another video on this topic. Others would be Chaos in the Windy City and Pitfall: the Mayan Adventure. Pardon me if you've covered these previously; it's hard to keep up.

[@TheLakabanzaichrg]

He has, as of 6 years into the future

[@davidcave3813]

No Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure? I remember liking it a lot as a kid, not sure how it holds up now.

[@Jdmtunerlover]

Omg i would watch that cartoon when I was slottle mikami..not sure if I spelled it right. Def gonna get the game

[@DubiousGamingOnline]

I always remembered that "ah real monsters" game being kind of a lost vikings clone. Its been years since i've played it though.

[@NickEnlowe]

Agree with Ardy Lightfoot and Cool Spot being good, although I feel the SNES version of Cool Spot is comparable to the Genesis version. The slightly zoomed in graphics are a fair trade-off for better music and color and it's 100% playable in this form. The rest of these games are a bit painful to play (yes, including Tiny Toon, dislike the run mechanics a lot), and Ghost Sweeper is one of the more popular imports which is why it's getting more expensive, so I wouldn't call it 'under the radar'.

[@FunkMastaMegaFlex]

PLOK!!!!! Lol that game was so fun and weird.

[@goober69er]

That’s Trunks’s power level if Yamcha ended up being his dad.

[@ChronoZero]

me: Oh look, trunks! SNES drunk: no, that's not trunks

[@chairmanm3ow]

Cool spot is legit

[@Sly88Frye]

When I used to own a SNES which I had one all the back in the 90's up until I sold it in 2012(I kind of regret that decision), I did own the Aahhh!!! Real Monsters! game as I was a fan of the show back in the 90s. I remember playing the Genesis version on Sega Channel, but then a decade later I found it at a now defunct local game store on the SNES. From what I remember, the SNES version was better, but both games were mostly pretty similar. I never got far on the Genesis version. I enjoyed Aahhh!!! Real Monsters! quite a lot. It's a pretty challenging game. My only issue with it was that you can't save. This isn't exactly a really short game and because of the difficulty of the game, saving would have been nice. But I enjoyed it all the way through and it was extremely satisfying when I beat the whole game.

[@Videomaster21XX]

Another under the radar SNES platformer. (At least one I like) Kendo Rage

[@frogerzard6606]

I remember having the ahhh real monsters game growing up

[@jasonz7788]

Thanks 👍

[@alexsamaniego9061]

loved plok growing up, used to do something to skip the whole first island, since I was sick of playing it over and over again. I thought you would of mentioned the Valis games, since those are a pretty neat platformer.

[@chaser5616]

If anything Konami touch turns into gold then anything Akira Toriyama touch turn into Dragon Ball Z. :D

[@lssjgaming1599]

But there is Sand Land and Dr. Slump

[@Roboshi2007]

You mean he turns it into the same dull shit over and over?

[@teotest3255]

"Anything Konami touch turns into gold"?? Hah, good one!

[@sidearmsalpha]

Teo Test Back in the day, they were one of the best developers, especially for the SNES.

[@chaser5616]

Ardy lightfoot is a good game,remember playing it 3-4 years ago.

[@querpmuerp]

plok is fantastic. just listen to the music...

[@EulalioMagana]

Cool Spot is awesome! I don’t consider it under the radar, though

[@bigwaveyyy626]

Real monsters was such a difficult game for me when I was younger

[@randomrandom450]

I like your videos

[@SNESdrunk]

Cool

[@PFR1930]

Loved Hook and Cool Spot when I was a kid.

[@hambukmil]

What a heck are you talking about? When you were a kid nintendo was still into zap guns and electric car toys, while you were playing the hell out of frogger

[@PFR1930]

Lol. So true!

[@SperryACHI]

Good video. What do you think of the famicom game Ballbullet Gun?

[@SupDave]

cool videos.. im subbin..

[@lutfimakarim8258]

The fourth Indiana Jones happened and unfortunately also a fifth one.

[@michaelknight4099]

omg I loved this game

[@Yourmomgoestocolledge]

Man i forgot all about Plok! I cant remember where i played it but i played it alot.

[@TreuloseTomate]

The best level in Plok is where you have to use your legs at the beginning to open a pathway. Then you have to hop through half the level on your torso to get them back.

[@Umbrella2]

Buster Busts Loose is great.

[@JomasterTheSecond]

Plok is a great game and hella underrated. I really think people should check out the comics based on the game which is similarly underrated.

[@nugboy420]

Ahh real monsters on sega I think was pretty cool. My small brain as a kid growing up didn’t make it past the first level.

[@Second0ne]

dont sound very drunk. i like your videos thanks

[@popo2k3]

I never beat the Tiny Tunes game as a kid... challenge accepted!

[@Cazz8203]

Yes there was a 4th Indiana Jones and it was no different than the others

[@retro_jojo3159]

thought rocky rodent might be on this list

[@bestboutgaming3212]

I should give Plok another go. Have the game, felt it was too kiddie and flash looking.

[@chuckobscure]

Good luck, it's a lot harder than it looks. No saves or passwords either!

[@raditzthehedgehog1640]

I love Go Go Ackman

[@okeanos317]

yaaaaay ardy lightfoot :)

[@demetriusconyers850]

I damn sure remember the show and the game to be honest wasnt bad at all

[@lssjgaming1599]

I want that awesome Indiana Jones game. That was my favorite movie back in 2008 when I was just a 6 year old gamer

[@popo2k3]

Ever heard of emulators? ;)

[@MEGABLAMP]

when you gonna do a vid on harleys humungous adventure? friggin loves those sprites in that game

[@captainofthecontrarians4204]

Your wish has been granted

[@duhmez]

Dude have you ever played REALM on Snes? Check it out, so good, run and gun, contra, gunstar heroes style, but in a forest.

[@mateobonavento3939]

I just saw a gameplay. That game is great and I didn't know about it so thanks for bringing it up.

[@duhmez]

Looks so good on my 36 inch crt! I also have HD retrovision COMPONENT cables for my snes too, and on that tv it is INSNE how good it loks! Everthing!

[@JamieBainbridge]

Hey I liked Bubsy. I think I'm the only one.

[@andybrinks3784]

Jamie no dude. Bubsy is one of my all time faves! Wish they would do more with it!

[@andrewquick4176]

Nope. I loved Bubsy

[@docriley79]

Yes, you are.

[@ObiMace]

The internet gave Bubsy a horrible reputation. I like it as well, even though I didn't play it way back then, but a few years ago for the first time. It has good, catchy music, colourful fun visuals, and honestly there are much worse cheesy 90's "mascots" than Bubsy!

[@trademarktaz]

Jamie Bainbridge It’s weird how Busby became a meme and is seen as some infamous horrible game. We owned Busby as a kid and was one of the most popular games we had

[@rogerrabbitonpcp6021]

And all these games are double the price of what you had them listed 6 years ago

[@KrisP408]

Can you please a do a video ranking your best snes platform games from start to finish. It would be very useful for viewers. Thank you

[@iamdmc]

7 years on... these prices have REALLY changed

[@brandonstone120]

Am I the only one that likes Bubsy (the first one)?

[@EidoEndy]

Any change of an under the radar list for other genres?

[@mchevre]

SNES Drunk! You must be younger than I thought if you never saw AHHH Real Monsters. I know the game wasn't as well known though. I do remember renting it on my 10th birthday though. I'm pretty sure we lost interest fast and went back to Yoshi's island lol.

[@SNESdrunk]

I am 36 and the only Nickelodeon I watched was Ren and Stimpy

[@littleman7514]

I didn't know Trunks was an Ultra Instinct.

[@Feelthefelt]

Aero The Acrobat is weirdly great on Game Boy Advance. But Aero 2 is easily the better game.

[@wiscounter]

There IS a 4th Indiana Jones movie: The Dial of Destiny. And that’s it. There are no more besides the first 3 and that one. LOL

[@FuelAirSparkTime]

Oh well.. Maui Mallard is like 100 bucks now and Aero the Acrobat 2 is even more
