The only way around this j is to slow Speedy down and enjoy the scenery, but that only makes the game boring. This cuts into your reaction time substantially, which gets particularly maddening when you don't have time to jump across a missing bridge section or chasm, and lose a ! life. The Speedster is a fairly large sprite, and once he gets going, he's always positioned at the center of the screen instead of the extreme sides. Speedy's main problem is that he lives up to his name all too well. Essentially a run-and-jumper, Speedy also uses a hat-throwing attack to waylay meanies that can't be dispatched by simply jumping on them. This little rodent is excellently detailed, right down to his trademark ten-gallon hat that flaps in the wind when his little legs start going. Speed Killsįor a portable game, Speedy looks as if it just jumped off the Saturday-morning cartoon lineup. Everyone's favorite lightning-fast, nonhedgehog character leaves his pursuers in the dust in yet another Looney Tunes video game adaptation.
