![What if Disney's "Toy Story" [Sega Genesis/SNES] was on PlayStation 1?](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/AWJBUWUI_Hg/mqdefault.jpg)
I played this game first on the SNES. That was one of my favorite games. And when I tried the SEGA Genesis version, I was surprised to see the content that was not placed on the SNES version. Now I love the Genesis version.
Both consoles are great. But you are right, genesis version is better.
It's due to Traveller's Tales favoring the Genesis. Traveller's Tales is a British developer, so they probably favored the Mega Drive because it was more popular in Europe.
@@therealhardrock Exactly.
@@therealhardrock Didn't Travelers Tales make another well known popular Genesis game?
@@gpl992 They made several Multi-platform games before this. The only games I could find that were on the Genesis but not the Super Nintendo were Leander, Puggsy, and Sonic 3D Blast.
To this day I'm still impressed with how amazing this game looks and how far both consoles had been pushed at this point of their shelf lives.
Jon Burton and his team at Travellers Tales were wizards when it came to the Sega Genesis hardware. The Genesis port is technically better in a lot of areas, and even includes one extra stage. There is nothing wrong with the SNES port, but the Genesis game does win out here.
Why? I see it is as always darker but with higher resolution. But also don't forget that on CRT tvs, that also meant you saw easier (but more zoomed) on the SNES. The snes also had as always better sound.
@@81giorikasThe SNES version controls a lot worse compared to the Mega Drive version. (Especially using the pull string to grab hooks.) The hit detection on SNES also feels off.
I vastly prefer the Super Nintendo as a console to the Mega Drive but this is one instance where Sega won, no doubt about it.
Yeah maybe so but the Genesis was so lame most of the time. Especially the color pallete or lack there of.
@@81giorikas the problem with it being "easier" to see on a CRT is that you still had less camera space to see enemies. The SNES Roller Bob level is already a nightmare without overscan so that isn't an advantage.
@@NotSpanishYes it isn't but on the other hand you had bigger more colorful games with less area. I'd do the trade. Oh and better sounds, extra chips blah blah.
Now for toy story...ok I don't really give a crap!!!
23:04 look at the plane
:V magic
Wow
I'm pretty sure it's magic.
It’s going up and down and it went into the other console
Yup
It's kind of insane to see what the Megadrive could do when pushed to its limits
Like
holy shit
I've seen homebrew and hacks made in recent years that blast a PCM stream during gameplay, but back when this came out this must've been unheard of
12:17 As a kid, I never made it past this level, before having to return the game to Blockbuster.
I remember the controls on this level being inverted (meaning left would go right, and up would go down) and it was really a trip for me to control the car that way, as a child.
I was probably about 7 or 8.
I was recently playing it on an emulator and had the same issue. Lol.
Landon Cooper I am a kid and i played it in a emulator and I passed the level but it worth me 3 lives
I remember getting super pissed there lol
Also was a very problematic level for me as a kid
I used to have an actual remote controlled car as a kid. This is very similar, so at worst the controls felt floaty to me. Like driving on soap.
This game had so much variety in its levels. It even had a first person perspective level.
The Mega-Drive was the lead platform for this game, ie, it was specifically coded to get the most out of that hardware and was then ported to the SNES. Basically, it played to the strengths of the Mega-Drive (and mitigated its weaknesses) far more than it played to the strengths of the SNES. Hardware can only make so much difference if the game isn't coded to use it to its full potential.
Instead of the usual fanboy nonsense, I'd recommend people have a search of UA-cam for GameHut, which is Jon Burton's channel (aka, the founder of Traveller's Tales and one of the developers on this game) where he explains a whole host of the amazing tricks going on in the Sega version of this game, as well as others like Mickey Mania and Sonic 3D.
Pretty much. They squeezed so much out of the Genesis's processing power that it could not be replicated on SNES, but... they tried... and it worked well.
I honestly think if more time was put into the SNES version, it would've been better than the Genesis version. But it's clear that the SNES version was rushed out the door, unlike the Genesis one.
I've seen those videos. They got me interested!
@@goiabexp igualmente que Flashback o muchos otros que se hicieron para Megadrive, no es por nada pero tanto cutre Port en Megadrive era realmente la diferencia.
La consola que más vende es la que saca juego y la otra se sacrifica al ser dos hardware muy diferentes.
What are you lot smoking. Snes is way better.
The SNES has more colors and a softer appearance, which is to be expected. There was an impressive amount of work put into the Genesis version to make it look as good as possible with it's limited color palette, and the result is a game that looks very sharp and polished. The cutscenes in the Genesis version not only feature many more still shots from the movie, but the amount of colors and detail the programmers managed to retain is one of the most impressive feats in Genesis programming. There are certain effects which were added to the Genesis version that were not present in the SNES version (notice the 'glowing' effect on Nightmare Buzz), and certain shots and graphics were altered in the Genesis version to improve the game's presentation (The smiling Woody in the Genesis version's title screen is more inviting and encouraging to the gamer, and makes the player character seem more confident rather than envious). Finally, the addition of the level 'Day-Toy-Na' adds more gameplay to the Genesis version. It's unfortunate that the SNES didn't get this level too, because it would have been a perfect opportunity to showcase the SNES's mode 7 feature which would have made this level look so much better on the SNES. Overall, the Genesis version just feels more complete. The programmers didn't need to go the extra mile for the Genesis. It could have just been a more direct port, with downscaled graphics and colors which was otherwise identical to the SNES version. They did however go the extra mile, and they didn't even stop there. This level of care and attention to detail undoubtedly earns the Genesis the winning spot.
The genesis was the main version all others were ports of this including the snes version
Wait so the SNES was 1st?
Piece of jewel!!!!
My first choice would be the Sega Genesis version.
Those of us who know programming know and are very clear about the following:
1) the genesis had twice the processing power capacity of the snes.
It is very fast and never slows down.
It makes the game much smoother and more enjoyable to play
2) the famous mode 7 of the snes and the 3d rotations, the genesis could do them without the need for special chips for that, and that is clearly demonstrated in many games of the time.
3) By the processor could achieve much more moving wallpapers and Sprites on screen etc...
4) as everyone mistakenly believes, the genesis did not have a simultaneous color limitation and its available color palette was not 512, in fact that was the base and more colors came out of it, reaching almost 2,000 available colors, and about 200 simultaneously colors in moving images.
5) the famous transparencies of the snes genesis could be achieved without any problem with the light and shadow technique and had two other techniques to achieve it, dithering and by frames.
6) the sound of the genesis is much clearer because it does not use samples, but instead generates the audio itself with an internal instrument it has, and generates it in real time and could also play samples such as voices in a completely clear way, being able to achieve not only one but three channels of samples for it sounding at the same time.
The quality depended on the quality of the sample that was introduced, that it was more or less compressed.
But it did not depend on the machine.
7) While the snes only worked with samples and for that reason they were totally compressed samples and they sounded very bad, to save space.
That's why most games sound very muddy and sound like they're inside a box or behind a wall.
To understand it better, it was as if it had an internally compressed MP3 player, but it did not generate its own sound as the Sega Genesis did.
I only know of very few games that have good sound.
The only positive thing that the snes has in terms of sound is that it had a special internal system to achieve reverb and delay, so they could achieve a little more depth in the sound.
Although the genesis also had techniques to achieve it but it was more complicated, that's why the sound of the genesis sounds drier to us, but that is easily solved by taking the audio from the genesis to a reproduction equipment and adding that delay or reverb effect of external way and problem solved.
8) the aesthetic appearance of the Sega genesis is incredible, classic and elegant while the aesthetic appearance of the snes is actually horrible, it looks like a cart, only the wheels are missing.
9) a higher screen resolution, the snes is seen with less resolution and more blurry, not sharp
10) the only advantage of the snes over the sega genesis is that it is much easier to program for it and many things could be achieved more easily.
That is why I see the Sega genesis as an exclusive console dedicated to only experienced programmers, the quality depended on the programmers and not on the machine, the snes is one more console of the trade, but even so the genesis broke the face of the snes in European territory by far.
That's why I say that the snes would be my second option, and I'm not detracting from the fact that it also has incredible games.
All the best
I grew up with the SNES one as a kid, never knowing what the Genesis version actually looked like. Turns out...was missing out quite a bit.
Several animation frames were removed for the SNES version, which is probably why I never understood how the stage clear animation looked like Woody was frustrated unlike the Genesis version that makes it more clear he's doing a victory dance.
A lot of image stills from the movie were removed for the SNES version, which makes the cutscenes a bit more enjoyable to look at compared to just some plain text in a few of the screens.
A minigame, the character list before the credits, and an entire level completely gone in the SNES version. Also certain details like the cord for The Claw boss fight is gone, hitting Buzz in "The Buzz Clip" level makes you slow down in the SNES version as opposed to just going past him in the Genesis version, and the balloons releasing flies as opposed to marbles.
The larger resolution makes the game look better; also less squished compared to the SNES version which was a problem I had with the game in a recent run I did. Also, colors are better on the eyes in the Genesis version; a majority of its graphics are better as well or equal to the SNES version. Only in very specific places is the SNES version better in this regard.
As much as I like the Super NES, the winner to me is the Genesis version in almost every possible way. The only thing I think the SNES version still has over the Genesis version is the audio quality.
I just don’t see how everyone thinks the Genesis version looks better. It doesn’t even seem debatable. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
@@denimchicken104 are you blind?
@@LeonardoRodrigues-uj1sm Most likely!
Never seen this game. Surprised how good it looks.
It was made by Traveler's Tales, who were programming gods back in the day, especially on the Amiga and Mega Drive/Genesis.
Same here! It looks absolutely amazing and reminds me a lot of Donkey Kong Country.
@@PetterNe it uses the same downscaled prerendered graphics like Donkey Kong Country.
I like the Sega version more, and this is coming from a guy who plays SNES games more often
LightStreak567 me too i like the snes more than the genesis but toy story on the Genesis surprisingly had more to it
Right? Even if the SNES has higher quality instruments i have always preferred the sega genesis version.
@@MasterMark5 don't forget the color pallet.
@@vidaladvancedgraphics619 True but it looks washed out, Sega has deeper colors
The sega genesis one is better because the snes one is just a port of the game.
Toy story the game is truly from the sega genesis. The snes toy story is just as good as SA1DX is to SA1. Sure, the snes one is on a more powerful system, but the sega one is better since the principles of the game design are all there.
Due to the mega drive's "Blast processing" toy story feels more 3D than the snes version.
Wasn't *blast processing* just a buzz word with No technical significance !?!
@@auntjenifer7774 It was, but the Genesis legitimately ran a lot faster. It was easier to say *Blast Processing* than to explain the technical details.
Actually if you look at the MIPS ratings of both cpus the SNES is pretty close. It clocks in about the same speed due to it have a much more efficient design. The SNES can also push double the amount of data (Theoretically) due to it having a 16bit bus while the Mega Drive/Genesis was stuck to an 8bit bus. The Snes clocks in at about 1.79 MIPS while the M.D./Gen. clocks in at 1.861363 MIPS. Due to the SNES's chip being newer and more efficient it can do the same tasks at a lower clock speed then add in most special effects etc were handled by functions already on its graphics chip. The MD was much more robust in design, but it also had to dedicate clock cycles to special effects that the snes didn't need to. Also Blast Processing is a marketing term mostly, it originally had nothing to do with the CPU but actually some developers figured out a way to basically blast colors and such at the video processor and force it onto the screen by basically writing each scanline. (Its really complex and I don't fully understand it.) It was never used in any commercial videogames as it was very hard to use, but with the added power of the CD accessory they could of used it some people say but no one did. Sadly I think the Snes port of this game was extremely rushed. Its missing many of details, colors aren't really adjusted well (The genesis looks great tbh.) and the music really could of used some fine tuning. Really I hate the music on the SNES version. Only thing that is better on the snes version is the higher color count.
To be honest, I really love the synth on the MD I wish that they could of just combined both into a single system..That would be absolutely fantastic.
Blast processing literally means it has a higher clock speed than the SNES.. by 0.7
I really wish the SNES version took a lot of inspiration to the genesis version since it was possible, the console being more powerful had an advantage to make it as good as the genesis version but travellers tales battered it a lot. Especially replacing that annoying sampled sound in the snes version and having a better soundtrack. If I could I would try to actually remake the SNES version into a greater port as the genesis.
Differences in the SNES version:
Pros:
- Brighter, cleaner Colors
- Cleaner less choppy PCM samples (both music and voicelines)
Cons:
- Smaller Aspect Ratio
- Missing a stage (Day-Toy-Na)
- Missing the Shooting Stars bonus game
- Missing the level complete music, and Woody's dance was cut short.
- Between level cutscenes have no music, and show less pictures from the movie.
- Missing cast of characters (shown at the end of the game, before the staff roll)
Seeing the Megadrive versio brings back memories. I still remember me and a freind playing this back when we were kids. Good times.
Thanks for the comparison. Back in the day, I remember being surprised that they could pull off this on a Genesis at all. They did a good job
Genesis version wins.
I cant see how. Its a cartoon movie for kids and the snes pallet is brightly cored and the sega is deoressing imo
+Zero Pullout yeah snes has better colors but genesis version has better and more cut scenes, more detail graphics, high resolution, better control, more music and 1 exclusive Level, snes lose this round
+Zero Pullout colors aren't everything. gameplay, details , resolution sometimes matter more. colors fool the unobservant person.

David Steck okk
One of my favorite details crops up at 13:30. Since you would normally only see those frames close up for a split second, they mirrored Buzz's sprite. (it's the most apparent when looking at his buttons.)
2:36
SNES: Code Red. Move, move, move.
Genesis: Code Red. MAA, MAA, MAA.
Genesis:Code Red....Moo Moo Moo
0:38 I like how Woody looks so pissed in the SNES version, he is clearly disappointed about the lack of blast processing
He knows what the story is on the SNES version. He’s supposed to be pissed because he’s not the favorite anymore. Genesis version he looks like he wants to fuck buzz.
The Sega Genesis version obviously show's Woody with a bit of a smug grin as he watches Buzz getting some attention.
SEGA flawless victory!
FATALITY!!!!!!!
Music sounds absolutely terrible on Segas Edition
Nope
Um
No
Stop defending your childhood console. It lost hard.
It's interesting to see the differences between consoles these days...
but back in the day people argued about game exclusives because without the internet nobody even knew that one system was more powerful than the other or that cross-platform games looked slightly different, or in some cases had missing levels or sound effects. It's just funny how much more we nitpik things when we have the internet at our disposal.
It's called evolution, internet helps but experience through gaming too, at least for some people (like me. But even in the past I've already noticed some SNES issues inherent to its low resolution display especially the stretched graphics (what I thought was a "fatty look")).
this was so impressive for the genesis because proves that it can run pre-rendered games like DKC trilogy without any problems(if you don't count the colors on SNES and the better music but muffed SNES sound effects and sometimes the low quality music) and Sonic 3D Blast that shows the true power of the 1988 Sega's 16-bit machine
That's Right.
I mean, as much as I adore 90’s Sega, neither this game nor Sonic 3D Blast (coming from a MASSIVE fan of Sonic 1-3K and CD) can hold a candle to the brilliance of DKC 1-3
@@honkmii459 Those games were fantastic, it’s true. But it should be given the advantages the SNES had as the younger and more modern piece of hardware. The fact the Mega Drive remained competitive for so long is truly a testament to how good its base specifications were to begin with and also how good some of the programmers were in developing software that was capable of squeezing every last bit of power out of the Sega. I had both as a kid; the Sega I still have and play today. It just has the games I enjoyed the most.
@@feliscorax yeah 100%, both systems were nothing short of legendary and had different things going for them, I’ll always prefer SNES but I’ll never stop defending Sega. Us consumers are the real winners of the console war because we got all this cool shit both companies put out trying to outdo each other, and we just get to enjoy the results :]
Sonic Blast has entered the chat:
Either way, it's still cool to see the DK Country style of rendering CGI models into sprites be used here. It looks good, almost like a side scrolling PS1 game.
As for which is better, I barely notice a difference.
I think this looks better than most PS1 games
@@miamimagicians
Iunno about all that. Look at the side scrolling games on those 5th gen consoles. While DKC and Toy Story look cool with these effects, they are limited.
I owned both versions when I was younger. It looks as though the Genesis/Mega Drive port was given a bit more TLC. The graphics are more vivid and colorful, and the cut scenes have the instrumentals.
The genesis was the main version and all the other ones were ports.
played this on the Sega Genesis as a kid, never got passed level 3 before we had to return it to the movie game rental store. Nice to see the further levels lol.
O Mega Drive da um show neste jogo😍😍😍 as animações ficaram excelentes no Megão, parabéns pelo vídeo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
5:45 wow nintendo skipping on the bed frame huh?
Not worth all the effort lol
Nintendo was fucking lazy
Lazy Nintendo.
It was not Nintendo...it was travellers tales. For some odd reason they just flipped off Nintendo.
@Dean Satan So does that mean the Genesis is superior?
Like it or not the Mega Drive version is impressive. Complete with the 4-Channel ProTracker Player
The only thing impressive about it, is that they wasted their time doing it haha. Doing a software MOD player isn't that difficult at all.
@@rickleverton7949 What a loser you are.
@@rickleverton7949 that's not funny
Whoa, 43:58, genesis does what nintendon't! You can't get that on nintendon't, genesis does, genesis does.
I still think both games are very similar. But SNES definitely looks better (though it missed a few mini games).
Level looks like shit anyway mode 7 version would have been way better
The level look terrible
@@tommyhowell6955 no
yes Genesis wins !!!
Toejam & Earl, Quackshot, Rolling Thunder, Kid Chameleon, Streets of Rage, Shinobi, Golden Axe....
Games that made Genesis great!
Good games but Kid Chemeleon was ass
A thing Nintendo overlooked while creating the SNES was its resolution. Imagine how SNES games would've been if the console had Sega Genesis' amount of pixels...
Um the snes actually had better color amd better controller
@Bryan BD They failed because of the Saturn and 32X, but okay Nintendo fanboy.
Probably the same games but with more resolution.
Wait a sec. Aren't you the guy that made Steamed Hams, but it's a GTA SA mission?
Woody looks pissed off in the SNES version, while Woody on the Sega Genesis looks badass.
The worst offender in the SNES version for me are the load times, they can get quite annoying for a cart game, similar to Mickey Mania.
That and Batman Forever's "HOLD ON"
I must say: Sega wins this one.
Well, I'm a SNES fan between the 2, namely cuz of the joypads. But I love alot of Sega titels too.
Sega just don't win in the sound quality, but it's not so bad.
To be fair, I'll say Genesis won on this due to how graphically impressive it was.
Traveller's Tales really know what they're doing to make their games into the Genesis with the limitation in mind. Sonic 3D Blast is another example of graphically impressive of the Genesis.
Sega is shit but the Audio on mega drive is realy better
@@OmegaTakenZ On this game also yes.
They put more effort into the Mega Drive / Genesis version.
Damn, this is the first time I've ever seen gameplay of this. I knew a Toy Story game existed on the SNES, but I didn't know it looked this good!
Truly incredible tricks that Traveller's Tales used in building the SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive port - the 3D effects were retained, it has a wider screen resolution and it has You've Got a Friend in Me whilst SNES does not. Not to mention showing more stills from the movie during cutscenes.
The Mega Drive game is easily the most impressive game released on the console, alongside Mega Turrican, Adventures of Batman and Robin (Which also has the most impressive soundtrack on the system), Alien Soldier, etc.
*4 months later*
Oh... probably should've read your comment more clearly.
I do have to mention the Mega Drive version is the original version of this game and the SNES version was made later. This is also why the Mega Drive version runs in a higher resolution. The SNES has a much worse resolution than the Mega Drive. 256x224 compared to the Mega Drive's 320x224. Most likely, however, if this was made for the SNES first, the Mega Drive port might use the H32 mode (256x224) to make the porting process easier, like TMNT Hyperstone Heist, Battletoads, etc. (Then again, another TT game, Bram Stoker's Dracula I heard was made for the SNES before being ported to the MD... and it used H40 (320x224) mode). Either way, these resolutions would eventually have to be fit to 4:3 on a CRT back in the day. Since 320x224 was close to more square pixels, all SNES games had to be stretched to fit a 4:3 image on the screen with its 8:7 resolution in square pixels.
Regarding 3D, the Mega Drive was a beast at that. Check out Race Drivin on both systems. Neither used any enhancement chips and they are both arcade ports of the same name. Mega Drive ran at a higher framerate, had more detail, controlled better, etc. Since the Mega Drive had the original version of Toy Story, the SNES had to be cut down (falling logo, missing parallax, smaller sprites, etc).
Regarding the missing "You've Got a Friend in Me" track... I don't know why it isn't there. There's actually a file of that track in the game as well. I think the missing stills, however, is because of memory issues, because while both used 4MB of cartridge space, the way they produce sound for the console isn't. The SNES always relies on samples, and, even with the 64KB limit, it can still eat up a lot of cart memory. The Mega Drive, however, has an FM synthesizer with 6 channels (and a PSG chip that's actually the same as the Master System's). These take up far less space than samples, and thus, take up less memory to use. The 6th FM channel, however, can be turned into a PCM channel to play samples, which is where the drums and voice clips play (and, as this game proves, can be multiplexed to play 4 channels at once, ala Commodore Amiga style, in the title screen).
Regarding overall game elements though, personally, the Mega Drive looks sharper and more full of life than the SNES port. Same with its presentation. Audio, however, I would give to SNES, as the Mega Drive used the shitty GEMS sound driver. Gameplay easily goes to the Mega Drive though, for obvious reasons.
@@CaletoFran The thing the made me give graphics to Mega Drive are the animations. There appears to be a lot of them missing in the SNES (Woody Dancing, Cup bobbing on stage 9, less particle effects, logo falling at beginning not being in 3D, etc), which makes the Mega Drive version feel more "animated" and "alive" in comparison.
Wow! I didn't expect that, but I think the Mega Drive version actually looks better, despite the SNES's smoother color gradients.
Genesis is higher resolution since its outputting at 320x224 while the snes was outputting only 256x224. note how genesis is 4:3 while snes was closer to 1:1. However snes has better color production as you'll notice much less dithering. Also some of the story scene images are non existent in the snes my guess would be that nintendo charged more for higher meg carts so the game publisher tried to cut some stuff out to fit on a lower meg cart.
More than that. 5:46. Compare the beds.
The Genesis version was a technical achievement, and for the still images, there are multiple colored layers.
Sometimes, you finish the current level in the Sega Genesis version and so you have to pause and not play it again until you finish the level in the SNES version. This only happened in Buzz Clip, Buzz Battle and Food and Drink.
Wow i was expecting the snes to win this one but the genesis does.
+Mark S Genesis does what Nintendon't ; )
Yep.
+Mark S Sega also had a lot of things that the NES version didn't like an extra level and theme music watch this video
ua-cam.com/video/drr8t4sTqnw/v-deo.html
+CURTIS CONYER I would hope the Genesis was better then the NES. ^_^ Unless you mean't SNES
Cimmarian Yeah I meant SNES lol.
Same as Earthworm Jim or Mickey Mania the Mega Drive/Genesis version of Toy Story is a better and more complete experience. Also these games might be the best examples of the differences between the two hardwares which makes the comparisons especially interesting in that respect.
I owned both versions of EWJ but I preferred SNES version cuz it looked so much better. Most of my friends liked Genesis version and I couldn't understand why.
Because EWJ on mega drive played better, has better music, and an extra level. I smell a fanboy.
British Media Bully is earthworm jim 2 better on snes or genesis no one really compares that ?
@@mcdelloboy Earthworm Jim 2 on SNES is the better version IMO. They spent more time on it while the Genesis version is technically a almost finished prototype. You can switch your weapons, the first area looks a little less bleak, and the music sounds more complete and finished. The only downside is the resolution, as with most SNES ports of Genesis games.
Saturn is the way to go when it comes to the soundtrack, but it's sadly not the best port due to crap controls.

3:11 when i first played the snes version i thought i was hallucinating when woody did that creepy dance
There are no pictures in the first intro page on SNES? 😕
i don't know why
I prefer the Genesis version over the SNES version, because it has more photographs on the cutscenes and it has better graphics too!
The Genesis version is better visually it has a more realistic feel to it. But I do think the SNES version has a better sounding soundtrack.
But Woody's face in the title screen looks really creepy o.o
Visually better? Look again mate! SNES version looks better (no of colors on screen)
The SNES may have a better color palette, and because of that is a bit smoother, but there are a number of times where shading depth is better on the Genesis. The special stages ala inside the claw machine are also better on the Genesis. Bigger screen, better scaling with more effects, etc. The Genesis superior CPU helped with that level. The SNES only clear advantage is in sound sampling quality, but it’s also missing a few samples. Just seems like a little more Love was put into the Genesis version.
@@innovazero
Frankly, the genesis version looks like shit. A lot of Genesis games have the same problem due to lack of colors. I don't how to describe it. It's you see repetitive bands of vertical bars in the background and sometimes large sprites.
Yeah i think the dark light help in some games too.
yep the Genesis version is way better then the snes version!! my only critique of the Genesis version is they could have spent some more time tuning some original instruments for the Yamaha ym2612 sound chip they sounded like the standard instruments that SEGA packaged with their SDK however their use of samples for the beginning and ending themes was very innovative!!
+Nick Sorenson They're in there.

Invincibility: On the second level, grab 7 star and duck in the box for 5 seconds
Level skip: Type up "ABRACADABRA" in the title screen (D = Down), then start game
You see much more on the screen on the Genesis version, which makes the gameplay better. The SNES version due to its lower resolution, has to cut parts on the left and right, so you get a claustrophobic mode.
Impressive game on both consoles, though the Genesis version is undoubtedly better since the devs had more experience with the hardware and it got an extra 3-4 months of development time.
Jogava isso direto do cartucho, alugava numa locadora perto de casa. O tempo voa..... há mais de 20 anos atrás.
Esse gráfico era top pra época me amarrava também. Bons tempos.
I didn't know the Sega Genesis-exclusive level Day-Toy-Na had the song playing in the Buzz Clip level instead of its own song.
This is extremely well done, man!
I had the SNES version. This game was hard as hell! It was one of the hardest video games of that time
This is one of the best games made for 16-bit video games. In both versions the animation and gameplay are great. The Genesis version is still subsidized with an additional 3D stage.
The sound of both is very good. The version of super nintendo has orchestra effect, but of the greater sensation of mono sound, the one of the mega drive although it does not offer orchestra it is possible to feel the separation of the channels and the stereo sound. Tied here.
In the graphic aspect the Super Nintendo has offers in some stages a paralax (separation of more scenarios). But the processing of the scenarios is slower and noticeable. And although Sega Genesis has less color, the use of the RGB system with better contractions and the scanning mechanism that has already been seen in Pit Fighter, Green Dog and Cool Spot, will greatly favor this game.
Mega Drive wins in this game.
What??! The Genesis has hard panning left and right. The stereo separation on the Genesis is trash, especially if you listen through head phones. It's either all left, right or straight mono. That isn't 'stereo'. That's 'dual-mono'. Snes has proper stereo panning per channel.
the psychey sound of the genesis for the toy story theme is absolutely legendary
Sega Genesis Win! this Round
[Buzz]: "I just want you to know, that eventhough you TRIED to TERMINATE me, Revenge is NOT an idea we promote on MY planet..."
It seems that Sega Genesis had more processing power and memory, the SNES' version is a neutered version of it.
Not really. Look at the 3D first person section of the game. SNES version runs at much better framerate.
Kamran KI Yeah, it does....
with a screen border around it along with 32 vertical pixels cut off of it for each side.
This makes the SNES resolution even smaller, around maybe 224x160, almost half the amount of pixels from a normal SNES screen.
Also lower quality textures
@@kamranki The SNES version is missing the entire outdoor racing level. I'm guessing the slow CPU couldn't render the 3D as well as the Sega Genesis so they just left it out altogether.
@@christopherwalkinalloverya5824 Its not that. You should probably check other snes games that have mode 7
@@bd90492 The racing level in this game appears to use rendering techniques that are beyond Mode 7.
I just wish the same effort had been put into the SNES version as was the Genesis. Because from a pure technical standpoint, the SNES can clearly do more. But the Megadrive version got more attention from clearly dedicated developers, and hence they got close to the SNES in looks and music. But this really is the Mega Drive's limits, while the SNES isn't being fully utilized.
The Snes version was developed 1st before the Genesis one that may have something to do with it.
@@arthurm.358 This is true. They would have more opportunity to flesh out what wasn't there before. Still, wouldn't mind seeing those improvements using the SNES'S hardware.
@@arthurm.358 Genesis was first. It was also exclusive to Genesis during the holiday season of 95 with a November release'. Toy Story didn't release on SNES until January or February 96.
I like the Mega Drive / Genesis one better as you get more screen grabs from the movie than the SNES version does
Genesis: Better Graphics
Snes: Better Sounds
+kmilonfire990 No way the music is pumping better on the genesis listen to it again i think you got confused
Neh
+kmilonfire990 hahahah okay then
+Jungleman savetheforest the SNES has deeper bass and GENESIS has a more open and clean sound.
+Jungleman savetheforest
No way ...!
The Genesis/Megadrive version is much better in all aspects
Not the audio
Color pallet
Stereo sound
Listen with headphones the snes version
Lol no.
I had the SNES version and liked it, but I had no idea the Genesis version was so much better.
Genesis/Mega Drive wins in my book.
Also the Genesis/Mega Drive version has You got a friend in me as main music while the SNES version uses Strange things.
Inf. Hp and inf. Lives
Super Nintendo: stand on the bottom of the droor and hold the buttons down and right note: connect the box of army's
Sega: get in the box and hold the buttons down and left
The star will spin good luck
I’m a Nintendo fan, there are some parts of the soundtrack I like better on the SNES version (such as Ego Check and Buzz Battle) and there is often more color on the SNES version.
With that said, I’ve played both. The Genesis version is easily superior. One thing that bugged me about the SNES version is the load times. Genesis was the snap of a finger. Genesis also had an extra level (and a bonus game), which is always a huge plus in my book. I also felt the controls were more laggy on the SNES version. You could argue the SNES version is more “artistic” in some ways but from a video game standpoint, I always look at gameplay mechanics first and Genesis easily wins there.
EDIT: There’s also a lot of little things the SNES version didn’t get right. Like in Food and Drink, Buzz only follows you in the Genesis version. In the SNES version he’s just stuck at the beginning. In Revenge of the Toys, the ? balloons above the pole Woody climbs across don’t even break in the SNES version. Not to mention the ridiculous clicking noise in Sid’s room that doesn’t disappear until you collect the health stars. I thought my SNES cartridge was screwed up when I first played this game because of that.
At 22:48 you can see Buzz actually does follow Woody in the SNES version of Food and Drink. Apparently it takes him some time to start moving.
@@narishbeatle Ah you’re correct. Looks like in that level you move a lot more slowly in the SNES version so they gave him a five-second pause at the start to compensate.
Arrrg...This horrendous clicking sound at 33:44 on the SNES version!!! This is a game wich is SO much better on Megadrive/Genesis. And by far!
The Genesis version does sound and look clearer than the SNES version. Plus I like the music and pictures in the cutscenes. Plus the animation at the clear screen is better
The theme song from the movie "You've Got a Friend in Me was not in the SNES version.
It went unused
@@smartass643 but the compostion of the snes version is still in the gameboy version
Genesis:Better graphics more sprites and gameplay.
Snes:Better sound and high quality sfx .
^^ The best comparison
That menu music was my jam back in the day.
I remember this game I finished it on pc, such nostalgia.
This game seems to really pushed the genesis to its limits
Yes an amazing game
SNES - Higher quality in voice clips/music, smoother framerate in the 3D alien level
Genesis - Better graphics overall, slightly more content
SNES have better colours. But Mega Drive is better. For example, look at the images on snes on story mode. They are strected up
I love the detail of both ones.
Who else thinks that the music when Woody catches on fire sounds better on the Genesis than it does on the SNES, and (Sorry, this part sounds ridiculous) the sound that plays when Woody gets burned sounds more fitting on the Genesis?
SNES doesn't even have that music track. It just plays the normal stage theme
If someone asks you what the 16 bit era was capable of, just show him this game, it has everything.
The SNES Version Has Brighter Graphics And Better Sound Quality, But The Genesis Version Is Just More Enjoyable.
How come slinky doesn’t appear in The SNES version and the Sega genesis version I mean how come we don’t see him
This the case with most games developed on Mega Drive first. I think that’s a British thing. Earthworm Jim, Mickey Mania have similar issues. I just don’t think the developers had enough time to start from the ground up optimizing things. When you do, you’ll get things like Street Racer. They are practically different games, and we would all vote for a full mode y detailed track over impressive line scrolling effects. When it comes to exclusives I’m all in with Sega, but games that appeared on both usually looked better on SNES and the ones like this that were developed with Mega Drive in mind first, aren’t that much better in the scale of things, more so just impressive that the mega drive which is significantly less capable is pulling off these type of graphics.
28:56 this level alone shows how powerful the hardware was on the genesis.
ikr, like its got more view area too than the snes version
half fps
Good fps optimization on snes version & sega the screen area
The segas music sounds like 8 bits games (of the lastest)
@@vidaladvancedgraphics619 Sega genesis' soundchip is 8bit
Mega Drive FTW!
In two levels, the blocks on the shelves are different in both versions. The SNES version gave them more letters other than B and Y with different colors on them, which that I love the graphics, while the SEGA Mega Drive just have them in red, blue and white with B and Y on them. So far, the SNES version have the blocks in better design.
In the Super NES version of Toy Story, the level "Day-Toy-Na", doesn't exist. And in the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version of Toy Story, in the Pizza Planet level called "Food and Drink", the straw in Woody's soda cup lid is missing. Ever notice that? Plus, the Shooting Stars mini-game is a Genesis/Mega Drive exclusive.
I prefer the Genesis version better
The Genesis version is the best by far, the SNES version is good too.
0:41 - 0:43 that’s was a perfect yeee haw
I remember watching this video game 🎮 commercials on 📼 as a kid. But, I’m glad 🙂 I got to watch the gameplay.
I actually did the Woody dance in school and now I'm last picked in P.E.
Worth it.
I think the sound is better heard on snes than on mega drive
It's more stale and muffled though. Might be all sample based and have higher quality voice samples but the soundtrack doesn't have much of it's own personality with the instrument set it has, compared to the genesis one.
@@Turbulation1 get a life.. youre in almost every comment on this video
@@michaelmorgan9009 Quite the over exaggeration.
I'm just trying to minimize unnecessary bashing of the Genesis version anyways. Am I not allowed to do it? Can I not defend something I like?
@@Turbulation1 the degree in which you "defend" a dumb video game is comical/sad
@@michaelmorgan9009 Why is it your business then? You can just ignore it.
The SNES version looks and sounds cleaner overall, but at the same time with what's present in the Genesis version that isn't in the SNES, you can tell the former was the intended product.
*I feel that the Mega-Drive version makes up for the Snes’s better soundtrack and appearance with extra content. So they come out pretty equal.*
SNES Toy Story has superior colors, high-quality voice clips, and the better rendition of "Strange Things," but the Genesis has the faster, more precise gameplay, better music in general (hell, it has "You've got a friend in me," when the SNES version surprisingly doesn't). On their own, they fair well, but the Genesis version has that slight edge to the SNES version in my opinion.
The Genesis version looks more complete.
The lower resolution really hurts the SNES version in the later levels, you can't see what's coming as well
What cables you used for both systems and what tv?
