Description

"Daze Before Christmas" is an engaging platform video game originally developed by Funcom and published by Sunsoft for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). Released during the holiday season of 1994, this game casts players in the festive role of Santa Claus with the primary goal of rescuing Santa's elves and reindeer while defeating the evil Snowman and other antagonists who are set on ruining Christmas. Set across 24 levels that encompass various winter-themed environments, including icy caves, snowy landscapes, and Santa's own bustling workshop, players navigate Santa through a series of challenges and obstacles to save Christmas and restore joy.

The game introduces a unique gameplay mechanic where Santa can transform into his alter-ego, "Anti-Claus," by drinking a cup of coffee, granting him the ability to throw fireballs instead of the usual gift-wrapping magic. This adds a strategic element to the game as players decide when to use Santa's different abilities to combat enemies and obstacles. "Daze Before Christmas" is notable for its holiday-themed music and bright, colorful graphics that effectively capture the Christmas spirit. Although it was not a massive commercial hit, the game has gained a cult following over the years among retro gaming enthusiasts and is remembered for its unique take on holiday-themed video game adventures.
