Bea and Felix usually appeared in 2-minute roles throughout the episodes. It would have made more sense if you could play as Max, Norman, and Virgil the talking chicken.
Virgil: "I'm a fowl, actually."
I like your style! Mighty max was the shit!
I owned this one as a kid, and I remember the comic being in the SNES manual.

McDonald's also offered them as a toy alongside a mini Polly Pocket for girls. The authentic toy line was essentially Polly Pocket for boys.
Likewise.
Reminds me of the game "Dream TV" on the SNES, that's a bizzare platform game with split screen like this.
But Mighty Max was really Polly Pocket for boys.
Weird, i was thinking the same thing.
Mighty Max, the Olympic High Jump champion of '94.
The Mighty Max show was awesome. Crazy how this game turned out.
Time for a reboot?
@@ArtDocHound as long as the reboot is quality~

I could see a second loop cartoon working: make Max uncannily competent and way ahead of everything because he's already done it before but his cockiness on the matter ends up making things worse half the time. Fortunately this could drastically alter his first attack on Skullmaster
This show was a child hood favorite. Show was awesome. Never had the toys...but the fact they made a polly pocket for boys is pretty cool. Game does look pretty meh though
Same. I figured they couldn't make a bad game given it's premise, but man was I wrong.
@@lonewolffang lmao seriously. It also looks like it doesn't take much from the show, other than the main characters. The show had some good ass stories/villains, that could make for a great game.
The CunninLynguist agreed💀
All I remember about the show was the janitor guy getting attacked by a werewolf and Max find a chalk outline of his body later on. And a little bit of blood.
Good show, bad game.
I guess you could say "avoid this any way you can"
Done and done
This was my request, thanks so much for doing it! I feel honored to have my name mentioned in the description of a SNESdrunk video. Haha
That jump is insane 😂😂
It's making me dizzy ngl
The last episode of Mighty Max has to be the darkest ending to a kid's show ever. Loll
Which episode was it I haven’t seen dat one
100% agree
Yes but then it restarts again so it kinda erases the dark ending
@@corneliusfarrell8673
technically listed out of order as episodes 36 and 37, the intended series finale was the two-parter Armageddon Closer and Armageddon Outta Here
without too much spoiling: all of the prophecies come true
IKR. Never have I felt so at the edge of my seat and deeply saddened at the same time.
So glad to see this video! I was just setting up my SNES last week and was wondering if it was worth picking it up (it was among some other games that were stolen)
I love the part near the beginning where there's a really tall ladder and you can just jump up to the platform it leads to, even though it's past the upper limit of the viewable area.
I vaguely remember the toys. Like a 90's heavy metal polly pocket.
The cartoon adaption was surprisingly good (though I've only seen a little bit of it).
Check out the show if you have a chance. I remember it being a great show as a kid that I watched every episode of.
I loved the show as well as the game.
For someone who loved anything with monsters this toy line was incredible to me. I also had a Tiger lcd game of Mighty Max that looks like it blows this version completely away
Mighty Max is actually a great cartoon though 😭 I miss my childhood
LOL, I was just listening to the soundtrack for this game yesterday, and today you do a review on! Cool coincidence!
This REALLY reminded me about Kid Chameleon on Mega Drive/Genesis when you talk about the controls... I've tried a lot but never got into that game.
Heya mate, how are you doing? It’s been a couple of weeks and we miss you. Be safe, be strong and we love you. Hope to see you in my feed when the time is right
I remember the might max toy line when I was a kid. 😀👍
I remember this game, mostly because the gaming magazine I was reading at the time gave this one of the lowest score I think they ever gave out, and their entire review was just complaining about how bad it was. Granted, they also seem to have only played the volcano level, as that was where all their screenshots came from, and one of their big complaints was that everything looked exactly the same, so I guess it was not the best gaming magazine...
(The same magazine also spent a large chunk of their review of the SNES version of Syndicate complaining about how bad PC games were, and they had someone who hated pinball review a lot of pinball games, so every pinball game received a poor review score)
game journalism, game journalism never changes
a magazine that shat on Syndicate? I don't care if it was the SNES version, no credibility
The manual for the SNES version did have a comic book. In it Mighty Max and crew are fighting on Easter Island (or probably an Easter Island proxy).
One of my favorite cartoons of the 90s! Sadly I didn't have any of the toys back then. Could never figure out the game.
I had a 1 or 2 of the little Mighty Max sets, There was also a big rock castle set that was really cool.
Hey SNESDRUNK...haven't heard from you in a while. Everything good?
I remember the toys. I had a few. One of those interesting 90s toy idea.
You finally did it! This was a game that I got as a child that I didn't ask for but I ended up loving
Don't remember this one growing up, watched the show all the time and even had a few of the Polly pocket style toy sets.
Hasnt been a new SNESdrunk video for a few weeks. hope youre allright my man
That music in the background sounds like "Let's Work Together" by Canned Heat.
Loved the cartoon as a kid. Glad I didn’t see this turd on shelves or I would’ve bought it for my Genesis.
The Mighty Max toys were actually really awesome. They were here in the US, too. They were pocket-sized and you usually had Max and at least one enemy.
0:07 right away roast bro
Looks a perfect game to speedrun at AGDQ
I used to watch it & had a select few of the figure sets! I LOVED IT!! I had the magma monster guy & a gargoyle, Max had to defeat! The 90s were AWESOME!!!
I rented this one back in the day so I already knew the answer to this question.
I loved Mighty Max too (seriously those toys were awesome) but I remember playing this with a friend and we were both just extremely confused, I sucked horribly at puzzle games back then but I probably could have gotten into it if not for the most crazy sensitive controls I've ever seen in a game and the splitscreen making it impossible to see where the hell you were going.
I was a big fan of the cartoon and toy line when I was a child, and was always curious about the SNES game (though, based on this review, thankfully I never picked it up!).
Had this as a kid. One of those 'because I got it as a gift' games...
The background scrolling in the fire level looks pretty cool!
It seems all objects are regular sized. I thought Mighty Max was a miniature person?
No he just had tiny playsets.
Speaking of Flintstones... A Sega drunk review of that game would be cool I love it as a platformer ❤️
Hey, SD, you should totally do a video on one or all of the La Mulana games...
those aren't SNES. They're not even 4th console generation
and while you could argue that it's inspired by Maze of Galious, MoG came out long before the SNES
but yeah, could probably be added to any future Games- Like Metroid video
never knew there was a show, or a video game for mighty max. but i used to own the mighty max toys, they were awesome.
xexxex or treasure of the rudras would be awesome to see what you think of those games, I dont have money to give you but I mod gameboy's and I have one with a clear blue shell and red backlight I'd be willing to send you. love you snes drunk!!!
My little brother loved those toys, anything ‘micro’ sized was a hit in our house somehow. Mighty max, tmnt made really little things at one point, micro machines from hot wheels. Idk what it was about choking hazards, but they were popular lol. They also got lost So easily, ofc.
Had the SNES version of this game as a kid. To answer your question, yes, the SNES manual does have the same comic.
The box art vampire thing looks like the Yowie Yahoo from that one scooby doo movie
I really like your style for reviews.
my man nice rest of ur day, can u make a video series about 100 best game of snes ?
My brother loved the show so much he named his cat Norman.
I never saw the cartoon, but they had pretty cool ads for the toys as a kid.
We miss you man, hope everything is allright!
The first thing I always remember about this game is "that jump is ridiculous"
Any chance of a review for Katana Zero for Steam?
There wasn't a SNES drunk video uploaded on Thursday this week. I've lost track the last time I didn't see some new material on a Tuesday and Thursday...I feel lost! I hope he's OK!!
hope everything is ok love you snes drunk
The jump physics are giving me flashbacks to when I programmed my own 2D platformers in high school...
I actually have two copies of the manual. One the American manual and the other is the European manual. I'll have to look when I get home.
The weird thing about this video popping up today is my mum just brought me up all of my mighty max toys from when I was a kid last night 😂
Growing up I loved the toys, loved the show and figured I would love the game too. I think I played it for maybe five minutes before I ripped the label off the cartridge in frustration.
With all of the snarky esoterica I’m quite eager to see a 3 Ninjas Knuckle Up review just to hear some movie references...
I watched a documentary about a guy who was obsessed with making a game about running fast and jumping really high. He might dig this game.
Thank you!
Unfortunately I no longer have the manual itself (the only good thing about the game lol) but yes, Snes version of the game does in fact come with a manual that has a comic inside of it. I remember taking xerox copies of it as a child right before trading the game away, lol.
Cool!
I remeber owning this game as a kid, and I tall ya: if you think moving around and jumping is akward in this game, try playing it split-screen co-up with a friend. It's... it's not good o_o
Didn't make it to 2:36?
Watch the video asswipe
I enjoyed the Mighty Max series. Virgil was my favorite. 🖤
The idea of co-op in a game like this would have been amazing if the game was actually good!
I remember the show from when I was a kid, it was awesome. I started looking up episodes online nearly a year ago, and man, that show was darker than I remember.
I never did play this game, and from the looks of it, I'm glad I didn't. Although to be honest the music they were playing on here sounded pretty good.
I think this game should get reviewed (and destroyed) by the AVGN next.
When I was a kid I loved the toys and the show
Here's something fun, though: If you put the first run in on SpeedRun, you're defaulted to the moderator of that game. You can put your run in an insane category (e.g. drunk%, where you have to be drinking the whole time), and if no one wants to take your challenge up, you can have a world record forever. Granted, it's for something no one cares about or cares to beat. But hey, you can say you have a world record in something.
There are some speed runs, I found one looking for the show's ending video. And the video was 4 years old Lol
The show and the toys, were AWESOME. I loved the show and the toys. I'm surprised it was only 40 episodes. I loved it. I never played the game though. Maybe a fan will do the show justice and make a better game one day.
I loved the cartoon Mighty Max. Tim Curry's voice is amazing.
You should make a video for the cyber knight
Jesus wept, that jump arc!
i remember renting this back in the day… knew the jump was going to be eviscerated (rightly so) in this review before i even clicked, it really is horrendous
SNES DRUNK, retroactively reminding me of games I've not played since childhood while I'm also half lit on vodka.
i remember back then looking at this game's cover on a magazine and thinking "isn't that the vampire guy from spiderman?"
It’s the speed of the jump that gets me not the height! The kids rockets up at 300mph!
Imagine a romhack that balances the jump, with maybe a couple other changes.
Hello Mr. Drunk, do you know of a 2d action sidescroller where you can attack while moving? I love what it did to the pace of gameplay in hollow knight and I want more. Of course Metroid lets you do it, but the castlevanias of this world make you stop in place...
Video idea: How about parent and child games where the kids can participate but the parents can carry them when needed? (Chip n Dale...)
I remember loving this game as a kid despite taking me forever to figure out what I was supposed to do.
I think I rented this once. I remember liking the cartoon lol
Hey just worried because I’ve never seen you late in your schedule and just want to send some love and I hope everything is fine with you and your family! Take care yourself!
Loved this show as a kid. Tim Curry was the voice of the villain!
All that jumping almost made me sick but that music is groovin
Never heard of this game up until now, However, the cartoon is AWESOME.
Hey man, it's not like you to miss your schedule. I'm not even mad, just wanna make sure you're okay.
Edit - nevermind, saw the twitter post. Enjoy your break.
Cool world? Hahaha i remember "playing" that game with my buddy when we were kids. Had no idea what to do or where to go, hey do cool world!
Seems a shame about the controls otherwise I'd give it a go on the old emu. Great upload, better than TV at the mo. Stay safe and HAGROYD.
Everytime I think about Ocean Software, I keep wishing they actually sank IN the ocean. I used to play most of their crummy games as I was growing up, and I really wish I could get that time back.
I remember the toys looked cool
Thanks! I'm gonna have a great rest of my day.
That jump
Hey SNES drunk
your channel is awesome
can you do a Fire Emblem video sometime soon?
My cousin and I used to try and play this when we were like 7 or 8. We had no idea how to beat any of the levels.
i actually beat this game as a kid, i did for what i thought was a fight with the skull master..... i didn't even give me that.
I loved the show, glad I never heard of this back then
I think I had motion sickness like 90 seconds into this video, lol.
Check out Shock Troopers on Neo Geo
This cartoon was awesome growing up
