Mischief Makers 
Back in time, december 1997 i got this as a christmas gift ^^
One of my best christmas gifts i ever got anyway.
This game surprised me many times and within spending months on it I began to love it.
This is Treasures personal highlight. No Gunstar Heroes, no Dynamite Headdy. Mischief Makers is of course the newer one, but it is also better in everything. This world is very interactive, shaking, throwing, boosting, fighting, grabbing, jumping, you can even take weapons, ride on many different vehicles. you switch characters and play the role of one of these funny people there, on your mission on the long way to help them from... very big endbosses!
Quirky characters on a unique weird planet, music, atmosphere, story, yes you can talk to the people in many missions. and some missions are just for story so it's not always action, action, action, but much of it yeah. excellent action.
yes each mission is just different and good designed. so many strategies involved. so perfect controls.
come on if you just anyhow like action platformers, i would not miss out on that one. trust me on this, if you get into this game you will fall deep.
