Description

"Hurricanes" is a platform game developed and published by U.S. Gold and released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1994. The game is based on the 1990s animated television series of the same name, which features a fictional soccer team that combats evil between their regular games. In "Hurricanes", players control one of the soccer team members, Cal Casey, who must navigate through various countries to retrieve the stolen World Cup trophy. The journey isn’t straightforward, as players must dodge enemies and solve puzzles while making their way through multiple levels that span different geographical locations including North America and East Asia.

Gameplay in "Hurricanes" is characterized by traditional platforming elements such as jumping, climbing, and running, while avoiding obstacles and collecting power-ups. The uniqueness of the game comes from integrating soccer mechanics into gameplay; players can kick a soccer ball to defeat enemies or activate mechanisms. The game received attention for its fidelity to the animated series, including the visual style and character representations, which closely mimic the TV show's graphics. Although not groundbreaking for its gameplay mechanics, "Hurricanes" remains notable for its adaptation from a popular media franchise and provides an engaging experience for fans of the series and lovers of soccer-themed video games. The SNES version is particularly remembered for its colorful graphics and responsive control scheme, which were pivotal for platform games during that era.
