Description

"Chester Cheetah: Too Cool to Fool" is a platform video game released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1992. Developed by Kaneko and published by System Vision, this game stars Chester Cheetah, the cool and mischievous mascot of the Cheetos brand snacks. The game is set in the fictional location of Hip City, where Chester has been imprisoned by the villain Mean Eugene. The gameplay involves guiding Chester as he tries to escape, traversing various levels filled with obstacles, enemies, and collectibles. Chester’s abilities include jumping, dashing, and using items, such as a scooter, to help in his adventures.

The game is notable for its marketing tie-in with Cheetos, one of the first examples of a snack brand being used as the central theme of a video game. Its levels are diverse, ranging from a zoo to a motorbike race against Mean Eugene. The colorful graphics and laid-back style reflect Chester Cheetah's personality from the Cheetos adverts, aiming to appeal to younger gamers and fans of the snack. Despite its commercial roots, "Chester Cheetah: Too Cool to Fool" has been criticized for its basic gameplay mechanics and lack of depth, which might not hold the attention of more experienced players. Nevertheless, it remains a quirky piece of early-90s video game history and nostalgia.
