Play Disney?s Bonkers Online

I remember picking up Disney's Bonkers for the Sega Genesis back in 1994. It was a Capcom release, which meant you could usually expect a certain level of polish. This was during that era where licensed platformers were everywhere, and this one put you in control of the cartoon cat detective from the short-lived TV show. The premise was simple enough: you're Bonkers, and you have to rescue all the other Toon characters who have been kidnapped by the evil madman, The Collector.

You run and jump through a series of themed worlds, each split into individual screen-by-screen stages. Your main objective is to find a set number of captured Toons hidden in each level before you can face the boss. The core mechanics are straightforward platforming; you can bounce on enemies or pick up and throw various objects you find, like apples or bowling balls, to defeat them. Some levels introduce mine cart rides or other gimmicks that change the pace. The difficulty can be surprisingly sharp in spots, with some precise jumps required and enemies that respawn quickly. It feels like a solid, if sometimes unforgiving, cartoon romp from that period.
