Description

"Stone Protectors" is a video game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) that was released in 1994. The game is based on a relatively obscure action figure line and animated television series of the same name. Essentially, "Stone Protectors" blends elements of the beat 'em up genre with colorful, troll-like characters who each possess unique abilities and weapons. Players choose one of the five protagonists—Clifford, Cornelius, Chester, Maxwell, or Angus—each equipped with distinct fighting techniques, special moves, and a musical instrument that corresponds with their personality. The objective is to battle through varied levels, which includes towns, swamps, and castles, fighting off hordes of enemies to thwart the villainous Zok and his plans, aiming to rescue the princess and recover the lost crystals of power.

The gameplay in "Stone Protectors" features both single-player and cooperative modes, providing an engaging experience for one or two players. As players progress through the levels, they encounter various enemies and bosses, requiring strategic use of their characters' specific skills to advance. Each level concludes with a unique boss fight, challenging players with different tactics and increased difficulty. The game stands out for its blend of vibrant graphics, which are typical of the era’s cartoon-inspired titles, and a rock-infused soundtrack that complements the action. While not achieving significant commercial success, "Stone Protectors" garnered a niche following due to its quirky premise and solid beat 'em up mechanics, making it a distinctive, though lesser-known, title in the SNES library.
