Finally, we get to the SNES Stuff here at Finding Nintendo Version 2.0! We'll be starting with a review this time!

Beavis and Butt-head is a Platformer based on the hit TV Show of the same name. Released in 1994, it received mixed reviews. I found it entertaining and fun myself. Here's why:

Story: 3/5
"Beavis and Butthead want to go to a GWAR concert and the only problem is that
they don't have any money. They think that if they take pictures of themselves
doing cool things, they will be able to get in for free."

Yes, it's a pretty basic story, but I found it rather unique for it's time. Anyway, that's about it in terms of story.

Gameplay: 4/5
This is a Platformer with Action elements, as many of them have. You know, left and right, up and down, kill enemies with whatever means the game gives you. Still, who could argue with this tried and true formula? You move left and right, picking up weapons along the way to combat whatever comes your way, whether it be jocks, skateboarders, evil teachers, dogs, or whatever. The basic goal of each level is to get to the end, defeat a boss, then take a picture of yourself doing something cool to get into the GWAR Concert. There are many things you can do to complete each level, such as having Butthead jettison Beavis over obstacles to overcome them. For whatever reason, the Character your not controlling won't get hurt by obstacles.

Controls: 2/5
The Control Scheme is kind of annoying. Seriously, what kind of game makes you use X to run and B to jump? If you know your SNES Controller, you'll know that it would be annoying to do that.

Sound: 3/5
The Music is pretty good and sounds pleasant on the ears, but the Voice Clips sound awful. It boggles the mind, considering other SNES Games have Voice Clips that sound good. Anyway, more on the Music, it's mostly heavy metal, and if you like that kind of music, your in for a treat because, interestingly enough, 16 Bit and Heavy Metal mix well.

Overall: 4/5
This is an EXTREMELY fun game, but it's also really hard, so if you plan on playing it, get ready for a challenge.

Would I recommend it? Yes, I would, especially for people who love a challenge.

I'm surprised you didn't go into how the game just drops you in, and gives you no direction. There are also puzzles you need to solve like a point-and-click adventure, where you have to find the items in other stages to advance.
 
@Shadow Kisuragi:

I think that's only in the Genesis Version.
 
yeah the Genesis game is an adventure game. This looks more platform-ish. I actually had the Game Gear version, which looked more like this. And was way too hard. And oddly, the Game Boy version was more in the style of the Genesis game.
 
@ReddMcKnight:
The storyline sound exactly the same, and the graphics are pretty close to each other. I wasn't aware they were two separate games.
 
I love Beavis and Butthead, but I've never played the games.  I do have it for Genesis though...
 
I recall playing either the Genesis or SNES version back in the day (I don't remember which). I recall one level where B&B bounce around on pogo sticks, trying to squish spiders before they bite 'em to death.

I did manage to get 'em to  the Gwar concert in the end, fortunately.
 
Just picked this up on SNES from the flea market yesterday, partly due to reading your review a couple days ago!
