'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is a 1992 action game for the [[Sega Mega Drive]] and [[Sega Game Gear]] by [[Sega]] based upon Disney's television show ''[[wikipedia:TaleSpin|TaleSpin]]''.
 +
 
 +
The game is different from the games of the same name published by [[Capcom]] for the [[NES]] and [[Game Boy]] and by [[NEC]] for the [[TurboGrafx-16]].
 +
 
 +
==Story==
 +
The game involves the adventures of Baloo and Kit Cloudkicker, two bears delivering cargo for Rebecca Cunningham, another bear, and their freight business, Higher for Hire. They live in the city of Cape Suzette, a setting similar to a coastal American city in the 1930s. Baloo and Kit face up against the tiger tycoon Shere Khan in a contest to earn a lifetime work contract from the city. They have seven days collect cargo from exotic locations around the world. Shere Khan wants to put Rebecca out of business, so he hires air pirates, led by Don Karnage, to do his dirty work.
 +
 
 +
==Gameplay==
 +
===Mega Drive version===
 +
{{ScreenThumb2 | TaleSpin, Sea Duck 1.png | TaleSpin, Sea Duck 2.png | width=200 | Sea Duck}}
 +
The game is a side-scrolling platformer. The player can choose to play as either Baloo or Kit. There is also a two-player mode in which both characters are played simultaneously. The goal of each stage is to find ten pieces of cargo. Some stages have more than ten pieces, but only ten are necessary to open the customs office (the stage exit). Baloo and Kit face numerous enemies and environmental hazards in the course of finding the cargo. There is a fight against a boss in the customs office of each stage.
 +
 
 +
Baloo and Kit play similarly. Both can be moved around with {{left}} and {{right}} and {{C}} jumps. Kit can also jump higher than Baloo and squeeze into smaller spaces. {{Down}}+{{C}} jumps off platforms. {{Down}} when in front of or on top of a cargo box or an empty box collects it. Empty boxes can be collected in this way and dropped with {{A}} to reach higher platforms. {{B}} shoots the character's weapon: Baloo is armed with a paddle ball that is stronger and Kit has a slingshot that shoots further.
 +
 
 +
In two-player games, Kit can ride piggyback on Baloo; to do this, both characters must be positioned close to one another and Baloo must press {{down}} while Kit presses {{up}}.
 +
 
 +
After every second stage, there is flying sequence where Baloo pilots the Sea Duck, their seaplane, with Kit tethered to the back of the plane on an airfoil (akin to wakeboarding). These play similarly to horizontally scrolling shoot-'em-up games. As Baloo, {{right}} is used to accelerate the Sea Duck and {{left}} slows down, {{up}} makes the Sea Duck climb and {{down}} dives, and {{B}} fires the grease gun. As Kit, {{up}} makes the airfoil climb and {{down}} dives and {{B}} fires Kit's slingshot. In single-player games as Baloo, Kit is absent. In single-player games as Kit, the computer controls the Sea Duck, but the player can influence its control by holding {{C}} and pressing {{up}} or {{down}} to make the Sea Duck climb or dive respectively. {{C}} alone makes it level off.
 +
 
 +
Baloo, Kit, and the Sea Duck all have health gauges that are depleted when hit by enemies. If they run out of health, they lose a try. If they lose all their tries, the game ends unless the player has a continue to use. Additionally, there is a global timer throughout the game that starts at seven days and counts down as the game progresses. Baloo and Kit must complete the contest before time runs out or the game ends.

===Game Gear version===
 +
{{ScreenThumb | TaleSpin GG, Sea Duck.png | width=160 | Sea Duck}}
 +
The Game Gear version follows the Mega Drive version closely in gameplay mechanics and even level design. There is no two-player mode in this version. As before, the player can play as Baloo or Kit, who move around with {{left}} and {{right}}, shoot their weapon with {{1}}, jump with {{2}}, crouch with {{down}}, and jump off platforms with {{down}}+{{2}}. The player must collect ten boxes in each stage to open the exit. Boxes are picked up with {{down}} and empty boxes are dropped with {{up}}.
 +
 
 +
The flying sections are similar, with the D-Pad moving the Sea Duck around and {{1}} shooting its grease gun. Flying sequences are always played as the Sea Duck alone and without Kit, regardless of which character is being played, and have no stormy sections.
 +
 
 +
The player's health is shown as a number in the corner of the screen; all other information (such as the number of boxes collected and the time remaining) is shown on the pause screen when {{Start}} is pressed.
 +
 
 +
The stages and bosses are the same as in the Mega Drive version, except the final stage consists solely of the boss fight and omits the cave section (which also removes the gameplay incentive to collect extra cargo in any of the earlier stages).

TaleSpin is a 1992 action game for the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Game Gear by Sega based upon Disney's television show TaleSpin.

The game is different from the games of the same name published by Capcom for the NES and Game Boy and by NEC for the TurboGrafx-16.

Story

The game involves the adventures of Baloo and Kit Cloudkicker, two bears delivering cargo for Rebecca Cunningham, another bear, and their freight business, Higher for Hire. They live in the city of Cape Suzette, a setting similar to a coastal American city in the 1930s. Baloo and Kit face up against the tiger tycoon Shere Khan in a contest to earn a lifetime work contract from the city. They have seven days collect cargo from exotic locations around the world. Shere Khan wants to put Rebecca out of business, so he hires air pirates, led by Don Karnage, to do his dirty work.

Gameplay

Mega Drive version

TaleSpin, Sea Duck 1.png

TaleSpin, Sea Duck 2.png

Sea Duck

The game is a side-scrolling platformer. The player can choose to play as either Baloo or Kit. There is also a two-player mode in which both characters are played simultaneously. The goal of each stage is to find ten pieces of cargo. Some stages have more than ten pieces, but only ten are necessary to open the customs office (the stage exit). Baloo and Kit face numerous enemies and environmental hazards in the course of finding the cargo. There is a fight against a boss in the customs office of each stage.

Baloo and Kit play similarly. Both can be moved around with Left and Right and C jumps. Kit can also jump higher than Baloo and squeeze into smaller spaces. Down+C jumps off platforms. Down when in front of or on top of a cargo box or an empty box collects it. Empty boxes can be collected in this way and dropped with A to reach higher platforms. B shoots the character's weapon: Baloo is armed with a paddle ball that is stronger and Kit has a slingshot that shoots further.

In two-player games, Kit can ride piggyback on Baloo; to do this, both characters must be positioned close to one another and Baloo must press Down while Kit presses Up.

After every second stage, there is flying sequence where Baloo pilots the Sea Duck, their seaplane, with Kit tethered to the back of the plane on an airfoil (akin to wakeboarding). These play similarly to horizontally scrolling shoot-'em-up games. As Baloo, Right is used to accelerate the Sea Duck and Left slows down, Up makes the Sea Duck climb and Down dives, and B fires the grease gun. As Kit, Up makes the airfoil climb and Down dives and B fires Kit's slingshot. In single-player games as Baloo, Kit is absent. In single-player games as Kit, the computer controls the Sea Duck, but the player can influence its control by holding C and pressing Up or Down to make the Sea Duck climb or dive respectively. C alone makes it level off.

Baloo, Kit, and the Sea Duck all have health gauges that are depleted when hit by enemies. If they run out of health, they lose a try. If they lose all their tries, the game ends unless the player has a continue to use. Additionally, there is a global timer throughout the game that starts at seven days and counts down as the game progresses. Baloo and Kit must complete the contest before time runs out or the game ends.

Pirate's Cave
The player must end the first segment with at least 90 pieces of cargo to progress to the final fight. This can be achieved by collecting the air cargo that falls over the course of the level or by collecting enough extra cargo in the previous levels. The boss fight is against the Iron Claw, the flagship of Don Karnage and his air pirates.

Game Gear version

TaleSpin GG, Sea Duck.png

Sea Duck

The Game Gear version follows the Mega Drive version closely in gameplay mechanics and even level design. There is no two-player mode in this version. As before, the player can play as Baloo or Kit, who move around with Left and Right, shoot their weapon with 1, jump with 2, crouch with Down, and jump off platforms with Down+2. The player must collect ten boxes in each stage to open the exit. Boxes are picked up with Down and empty boxes are dropped with Up.

The flying sections are similar, with the D-Pad moving the Sea Duck around and 1 shooting its grease gun. Flying sequences are always played as the Sea Duck alone and without Kit, regardless of which character is being played, and have no stormy sections.

The player's health is shown as a number in the corner of the screen; all other information (such as the number of boxes collected and the time remaining) is shown on the pause screen when  START  is pressed.

The stages and bosses are the same as in the Mega Drive version, except the final stage consists solely of the boss fight and omits the cave section (which also removes the gameplay incentive to collect extra cargo in any of the earlier stages).
