Worst Levels Ever # 41

Unfortunately, although there are lots of fantastic levels and stages in video games, there are also a fair few awful ones.
WARNING: Absolutely awful sound plagues this video, keep that mute button on stand-by.
Taz-Mania on Game Gear was a damn terrible game for one I declared as my favourite game of all time before even playing it as a kid. I couldn't even beat the first level at the time, which lead me to cover it in Worst Levels Ever # 8 back in 2014. Well, lately, I've become curious to see what else this sorry excuse for a game has on offer and decided to play the rest of it and see if it gets any worse...

I should also say that I'm always been weird with handheld games, unless there's voice acting (or is a rhythm game) I always turn the volume down to 0, so yeah this horrible music never bothered me or my family.

The worst level I ever played in a game that actually tried to be a game (Action 52 is not a real game nor is shovelware) was in Looney Tunes Collector Alert! at least in the US version of the rom. There's a Secret level known as the corn maze where you walk on the grass walls, wander around aimlessly, collect yellow dynamite, and fail to win because the post game was unfinished (in the US version only).

[@rubberballoonlover5471]

[@MrRobot2027-wd9iw]

@@rubberballoonlover5471 What really happened was that they rushed the product out the door. However, the European rom and other regions do not have the glitchy corn maze nor does it's counter part Martian Strikes Back which was released shortly after. None of the speed runs show this level because you need to use the link cable to unlock secret missions to get the real ending. I actually bought the game twice when I was a kid just to see if it wasn't something wrong with the cartridge and nope the glitchy corn maze was still in Alert!.

Play the Master System version of this same game, then pick your jaw off the floor afterwards. Incredibly, it's a FUN game, fast-paced, and more of a traditional platformer for the year it launched. Even the music is nice! And it has sound effects! And a opening text that EXPLAINS THE GAME! How in the nine circles of hell did the Game Gear, which was for all intents and purposes a handheld Master System, managed to butcher this game so awfully, in comparison to the console version?!

[@alex_-yz9to]

apparently because while the master system version was developed inhouse by sega the game gear version was instewd developed by a company called NuFX, which made a port of Hard drivin'... and the really terrible Beavis and butthead game gear game.

[@DimitryViktorovich]

7:08 After all the cr@p you've been through during this episode, I think you REALLY need to play some GOOD Taz-Mania game, like "Taz in Escape from Mars" for Sega Genesis. Or you could make the "Best Levels Ever" episode based on this game, especially the very first level (Mars Zoo) - it's the best example how to make the great Taz-based game.

[@MarcusXD100]

Such a shame that the taz's video game experience whois got was easely the worst one The snes version of the game was more like what you think taz is And the freedom and destruction you can do on Taz:wanted was just EPIC

[@ContraryASMR]

You can't even destroy this game with the toffee without destroying your computer since it's on a emulator now

[@psychopianist630]

The plot of the Genesis version of Taz-Mania (which I've heard is much better than this pile of shit) is that Taz's dad tells him and his siblings a story about giant prehistoric seabirds that used to roam Tasmania, and that they laid huge eggs that could feed a family of tasmanian devils for more than a year. He also mentions that there are legends of a lost valley where the birds still nest, causing Taz to get excited about the prospect of eating one of their giant eggs and to promptly search for the lost valley. That would explain why this game abruptly ends after you get the egg.

OH MY GOD HOW DOES THIS GAME SOUND THIS BAD These auditory atrocities are worse that just about anything short of the worst of the worst bootleg garbage games. Even ATARI games sound better than this! Also, let's look at the level type layout here. Death wall chase, autoscroller, autoscroller, autoscroller, obtuse boss, autoscroller, actual proper platforming level, vertical platformer, vertical platformer, and then suddenly it ends. What. The. Hell. What were they even trying to go for here? By the by, during the Flappy Bird stage, there was some strange screen flickering. I thought it was my computer at first but it occurs systematically at the same points.

[@rcblazer]

Yikes, that music! What's funny is the Game Gear is capable of playing music that doesn't make you envy the deaf, just not in Taz-Mania!

[@VulpesHilarianus]

Listening to the Genesis version's music (which also can be very annoying), I realize how they screwed up the music so badly. The Genesis has sixteen sound channels. Usually eight are used for music via FM Synth, two for samples, one for noise or modulation, and the remaining five are the sound effects. Since the Game Gear only has four sound channels they cut out six of the music channels leaving only the counter-melody and bass track. Which is why the music sounds like crap, the Game Gear can't emulate the FM Synth bass and the counter-melody -- already missing tons of notes because it's not the core melody -- is further restricted when it's channel is used for sound effects. You gotta really screw up and cut corners to be that bad.

[@raziyatheseeker]

The bad thing is that the Game Boy port had new songs compared to the SNES and Genesis ports. They worked within its limitations and sounded great, too. This video reawoke old happy memories of the first level track.

[@alex_-yz9to]

@@raziyatheseeker its also because the gameboy port was made by sunsoft which had a better track record of games in general... this game feels like it was made by aliens trying to takenover the earth through the game gear

[@superknuckles9567]

now i want to see a comparison

[@trulyinfamous]

I thought the Genesis had 6 FM with one channel able to play samples, 3 square oscillators, and a noise channel. You also have the option to split FM3 into it's individual oscillators. I've only used Deflemask so I don't know what else you can do with the system.

[@VulpesHilarianus]

@@trulyinfamous It depends on what method you're using. The one I listed is the theoretical maximum using bank and channel swapping, but most devs didn't do that. I think Traveller's Tales were the only ones who ever did that consistently.

[@napoleoncomplex2712]

The Genesis/SNES version of the game is far, far better. I'm not going to go and say they were great games (there are moments in the Genesis game that will make you chew you face off in frustration, like making split second jumps from plunging mineshaft lift to plunging mineshaft lift with a low ceiling in the way, a trap with two spear mice in it that is like something out of a sadistic romhack, and basically the entire mine cart level), but it is actually fun most of the time.

This game looks like it took the worst levels of the Genesis version and added things to make them even worse. Then made even more terrible levels for the second cake layer to fill it out. Finally they iced it with one of the worst soundtracks I ever heard. I actually did want to mute the video before you even brought it up at 0:57. But thought: "Ehhh, it can't get worse, can it?"

The faults of this game become more apparent, if you go and look at the Genesis version of Tazmania instead. If you compare the two, you'll realize they share similar gameplay, and design. The only difference, is the Genesis version is built like an actual game, with mechanics that work and systems that function properly. While the Game Gear version is doing it's best to poorly emulate the Genesis version. It's extremely clear that whatever team made this port, had no idea what they were doing, and as a result; it vaguely even functions as a product.

It's odd how many different games Taz has gotten when he's usually merely a dim-witted nemesis for Bugs Bunny. Clearly, many of them suffer from the licensing curse. I used to think the worst boss battle theme was either the fortress boss theme in Mega Man 1 or the one from the Spider-Man '94 game, which was nothing but a mix of the 'villain laughing' sound effect at various pitches with the occasional guitar thrum thrown in, but it's still miles better than this.

Eh, Genesis was at least playable, a few, I mean several, I mean HUNDREDS of unfair instant death traps aside.
