This game had lots of elements to it and made for a rather good side scrolling adventure game with quest elements added as well. You also had computer game like stages where you had to look for stuff in these rooms to find your friends and equipment to help you get to other areas of the strange world. The game has you as the lead Goonie going in this strange world to find your other buddies, plus a mermaid which in the end seems like a strange inclusion, but what the heck it is a video game. The areas have good variety to them as I remember a fire based area, an ice one and an underwater one too. The game was not all that difficult as far as maneuvering the side scrolling levels, however, sometimes finding stuff in the rooms was a bit annoying for a kid anyways. While this one is not the classic other Nintendo games were it was still a lot of fun to play, I liked how they had quest type things to do along with the typical Mario like levels. Certainly better than other movie games made like the super horrible "Total Recall" video game.
