Alright, so The Smurfs 2 on the Sega Genesis is one of those licensed games that actually doesn’t suck—surprising, right? You’re basically hopping around as one of the little blue guys (your pick), bouncing on mushrooms and dodging Gargamel’s weird traps to rescue Smurfette. The controls are simple—jump, dash, maybe throw some berries—but some of those later levels get sneaky with hidden paths and annoying bats.

Visually, it’s pure 90s charm—bright colors, chunky sprites, and that soundtrack sticks in your head way longer than it should. It’s not gonna blow your mind with difficulty, but there’s something weirdly satisfying about smashing pots for fruit or outrunning Gargamel’s cat. If you grew up with the cartoon, it’s a nostalgia trip; if not, it’s still a decent little platformer with more personality than most movie tie-ins. Just don’t expect a speedrun masterpiece.

Honestly, it’s the kind of game you play when you want something cheerful and uncomplicated—like eating cereal while watching Saturday morning cartoons.
