Remember that old Captain Planet cartoon? Yeah, this is the Sega Genesis game based on it. You play as the Planeteers (or Captain Planet himself when you combine powers) running through levels that feel like a Saturday morning episode gone wild. Jungle temples, polluted factories, the usual eco-villain hideouts—it’s all here with that classic 16-bit look.

Controls are straightforward—jump, punch, throw your elemental powers—but some of the platforming gets weirdly precise. The fire stage? Brutal. Still, there’s something charming about blasting toxic barrels with wind gusts or summoning Captain Planet for the big fights. Just don’t expect deep combat—it’s very much a "press buttons, save the planet" kind of vibe.

If you grew up with the show, it’s a nostalgia trip. If not… well, let’s just say the gameplay hasn’t aged like fine wine. But hey, where else can you fight a guy named Hoggish Greedly while dodging falling smokestacks?
