Toxic Crusaders

Toxic Crusaders is one of the strangest licenses on the SNES. It started out as a horror movie in 1984 known as The Toxic Avenger. For some odd reason, in 1991, the R rated movie was turned into a show for kids about recycling and keeping the planet clean. It also got a video game adaptation, with Bandai releasing NES and GameBoy versions, and SEGA releasing a terrible Genesis version. Toxic Crusaders was also intended to get a SNES release by Bandai, which was a platformer instead of the beat 'em up gameplay of the NES and GameBoy games. The game was finished and had a mid '93 release date, and despite having decent reviews and being based off of a decently popular show, it was cancelled. The game took place in many environments around the planet, presumably starting out in a wasteland level with a giant mud boss at the end. Other levels include a town level, a forest level with a three headed plant boss at the end, and a grocery store level where the main character, Toxie, would ride through on a shopping cart. Its unknown as to who developed the game, as the NES version was made by TOSE, and the GameBoy version was done by Realtime Associates. No ROM exists, and not much else is known about the game.
