The Wizard Of Oz

Game Information

The Wizard of Oz for the SNES is a re-telling of L. Frank Baum's classic story as strongly influenced by MGM's 1939 musical. To a lesser degree, individual levels adapt locations from the 1993 Wizard of Oz Animated Series by DIC by using settings from the series, such as Time Town. The game is a platform adventure, which highly encourages exploration. The action is split into four worlds. In each of the first three worlds, the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion can be found, while in the last rather than gain a companion the witch must be fought. After gaining a companion, the characters may be switched on the fly, and each companion has significantly different attacks and abilities. Several of the levels require using a combination of all of these abilities to fully explore. The game also includes a variety of mini-games which gives the player a chance to play as Toto also. All levels can be revisited once passed and doing so required both for the purposes of stocking up on items and to find the Emerald City tickets which are required to enter the final area.

Additional Information

Saddled by platforms that you can fall right through, characters who walk slowly and attack weakly, gameplay elements that have nothing to do with the movie, and poor level design that invites ridicule for being both too easy and too frustrating, The Wizard of Oz lacks even a modicum of the charm, the intelligence, and the overall excellence of the feature film on which it is based. Dorothy, Cowardly Lion, Scarecrow, and Tin Man are all playable characters (at one point or another), and even little Toto gets in on the action in some ill-advised puzzle sequences, but there's little enjoyment to be had here. Dorothy is the most utilized character, but her kicking motion is less than effective against the enemies, most of which attack from above, and the axe-wielding Tin Man can neither duck nor jump. The game looks decent, and there are four butchered versions of songs from the film. Sound effects are sparse. This is a nice Wizard of Oz collectible as long as you don't actually play the game.
