Man, Tiny Toons: Buster's Hidden Treasure on the Genesis is such a weirdly good time. At first glance it's just another licensed platformer, but there's this weirdly satisfying weight to Buster's jumps—like you really have to commit to them. The levels are packed with secret paths (some obvious, some downright sneaky) and those little treasure chests make you want to explore every corner.

The music's got that classic Genesis "beep-boop" charm, especially the forest stage theme that gets stuck in your head. And yeah, it's tough—some of those bottomless pits feel downright unfair until you memorize the layouts. But there's something about the way Buster slides down slopes or bonks enemies with that goofy spin attack that just feels right.

If you grew up with the cartoon, spotting all the cameos from Plucky and Furrball is half the fun. Just don't expect it to hold your hand—this one's got that old-school "figure it out" vibe.
