Nah it uses a password system just like the console versions.
That's one thing isn't coming up Milhouse.A few months later, but yeah.
Also, daily reminder that Disney owns The Simpsons now.
Shame it can't save; that game is rock hard if I recall correctly.
Passwords will get the job done.
Given how late in the life of 16-bit Maui Mallard came out, that game is insanely inventive and clever. There's stuff in there I still haven't seen replicated. The bungee cord level, for one thing.

I remember Cold Shadow being flat out impossible to beat as a kid. Today I'd wonder how that holds up!

Os EA still the licensee for that property?
I feel bad for yall lol. The music in this game on SNES is heavenly lol. One of the best soundtracks on the system just slept on. That song literally sound like a groovy ass church song with them organs blowing like that.
It was hard af but me and my cousin beat it. Its the damn collision detection in that game is full of shit lol
Dang, I remember owning Maui Mallard on PC as a kid but I didn't know the Hercules game's on PC.
SNES one is good and closer to original I guess.
But the PC one. WOW
That's an awesome song. Never new it had such a production.
Oh sick! I've been wondering about getting this on PC! I do know that load times are faster on PC but are missing some effects that the PS1 version had. Also the lack of save files.
But I love the game way too much lol.
Now bring the LEGO Racers games please!

Wow! I had no idea Maui Mallard was on PC. The SNES version is memories for me. I'll pick it up at the right price.
Having trouble finding a source from 1997 while also pretending to work, but he specifically cited Disney's Hercules as being a violent game marketed to children. I think I'm remembering he wanted it off store shelves.
Now you've done it, I'll be listening to the rest of this during work now. Thanks!
Woah, that's really interesting to listen to. Thanks for compiling.
I guess it's not that far off from Mike Pence thinking Mulan would turn girls into lesbians.
I will insta-drop a 20 if Hit'N'Run comes to GOGA few months later, but yeah.

U can use steam's controller condig support to map the keys to your controller.
Aw crap, I got really excited for a second and got Hercules confused with Herc's Adventures. Maybe next time...
Damn I was hoping it was that other Donald Duck game I played. Never played Maui Mallard.
I hope there's more Disney Interactive coming, I'll be happy to try out some games I've missed. I remember Toy Story 2 being one of the best Disney games.

Always felt bad for the poor souls who played this on the Genesis.
It was really hard, but not impossible, i remember when i was a teen a 9 year old brother of a friend could beat it.
It helps that even when you game over you can go to options and select any level you have reached in your run, so, lets say you die at the final boss but you didn't win the minigame so you have no password, you can go to options and select the final boss to "practice", but if i recall correctly you still get to se the ending anyway. Level select resets as soon as you turn off the game however.
Oh my god, I had totally forgotten that Maui Mallard existed, but this brings me back to my childhood. I remember kid me having a hard time with the difficulty though, so not sure how I'm gonna perform this time around.
Wow! I never knew Maui Mallard was on PC!
Played that game a lot as a child and always loved the idle animations. It's basically the end of an era where Disney torched the entire studio after it came out (irrc) because it didn't meet sales expectations. And they didn't really use old IPs in daring new setting again after that.
OST sounds awesome on PC, would have never guessed. This would be a complete nostalgia buy though because I have no idea if the game is actually good and holds up today.
Never played Hercules either, but it's fantastic that the vault has been opened and all these Disney classics are available to buy again. Same with the old Star Wars games.

:( Well, the game couldnt be perfect...
The guy...
BRUH!
This guy is a fucking genius. He did a lot more than the spiderman homecoming ost (that is actually not one of his bests). Giacchino is the master behind the ost of The Incredible, Ratatouille, Up (which he won an oscar for), Lost, JW, the ending credits of cloverflied (that is the best tribute to Ifakube's godzilla music ever), composes the soundtrack for Disney coasters and rides... and of course, one of the best soundtracks ever made, Speed Racer.
:P

Maui Mallard is my jam.
Also since the soundtrack stuff was brought up, some of you might be interested but didn't know that Mickey Mania had similar progression with the various platforms it was on.
There's also some unique tracks between some of the versions if I remember right. Here's a playlist of the PS1 version which is its "final form".
