This week we dust off an old SNES cartridge to reveal the vivid, whimsical Disney platformer beneath. Comedian and video game music aficionado Brent Weinbach joins us as a special guest as we face off against the grotesque mutant offspring of Pete, jog on a gigantic tomato, and generally get our asses handed to us.

In addition to Brent, the cast this week features Andrew Reiner, Kyle Hilliard, Ben Hanson, and myself as host. Thanks to Brent for taking a break from making people laugh really hard and hosting the terrific Legacy Music Hour podcast. Check out the Legacy Music Hour (available on iTunes) if you want to fill your ears with tasty 8- and 16-bit music as well as delectable discussion about said tracks.

For more Replay, check out the hub.

Rhythm Heaven looks kinda Awesome. Mickey was great too though. Love the graphics and the music was pretty good.

Hey everyone, Project Mako begins next week. Also, the codename means nothing. I just pulled it out of thin air as we recorded. It has nothing to do with Final Fantasy VII, Mass Effect, or sharks. Sorry for the confusion!

My friend and I beat this game several times. Great game, great soundtrack, good difficulty scale. Definitely a classic, for me.

This game was very difficult for me when I played the GBA version when I was around 8 or 9... No different now, apparently!

Brent needs to stop complaining on what games SHOULD be and what games ARE. They are not all the same. Stop complaining. Everyone likes what they like no matter HOW *** the game actually is lol.

Highlight of this Replay: the Mickey impersonations.

Looking at this game, and then Epic Mickey, I say "Wow! Gaming has come a long way in 20 years!"

I played the hell out of this game back in the day.

Retro gamer here and I approve of many things said in this replay.
by Zero Sunday, February 26, 2012 at 10:39 AM

Nintendo supports a certain type of game that few others do... and that's why I like Nintendo. Like I've said before there's only so many wastelands I can take, so many action-RPGs, etc. Wind Waker or Super Mario or Donkey Kong... not many others are willing to buck the trends... not many others make money doing it. Anyways, a group of veteran gamers not being able to beat up the first miniboss? Classic.
by RobotAstronaut Sunday, February 26, 2012 at 12:56 PM

Loved this replay. I forgot this Mickey game ever existed. I must have played it when I was really young, because the memory is faint. It was REALLY bizarre seeing this again and flashing back...

Great replay as always guys - Brent was a cool guest btw, his enthusiasm for video game music is contagious.
by ljlego Sunday, February 26, 2012 at 03:11 PM

That stage 2 music sounds like Kokiri Forest!

Did anyone else notice the wizards raging boner??

I'm huge fan of video game music and while some soundtracks today aren't always as immeadiately endearing, I think there are many that are either just as good or even better than the classics. The same holds true for art style, atmosphere and tone.

I think each game should be judged on its own merits and shouldn't be dimissed because of when it came out.

Once again a really nice Replay! You gotta love those SNES gems. Also the entire time i was watching the Magical Quest segment i was thinking about how Ben Hanson could probably do a pretty sweet Mickey Mouse impression...then it happened. Also I'm really glad Brent is such a classic game and classic game music enthusiast but i feel really bad for Ben, Reiner, and Kyle it sort of seemed like Brent was just ripping apart or not acknowledging some of the things they were saying, could just be me though.
