==Gameplay==
The game is a platformer that plays similarly to its predecessor. Taz walks with {{left}} and {{right}}. He spins into a tornado with {{B}} and jumps with {{C}}. He jumps down through certain platforms with {{down}}+{{C}}. Spinning while airborne from a jump allows for a farther jump; spinning while between two close walls climbs by bouncing Taz back and forth. Taz can spin into curved surfaces onto walls and ceilings. He can also dig into certain patches of soft ground with {{up}}+{{B}} or {{down}}+{{B}}.

===Mega Drive version===
 +
The game is a platformer played as Taz, a Tasmanian devil who can spin into a tornado. It plays similarly to its predecessor, ''[[Taz-Mania]]'', but follows Taz escaping from Mars and his captor, Marvin the Martian. Taz completes most levels by reaching the "Exit" sign and eating it, but in the final level of each world, Taz fights a boss.

Taz walks with {{left}} and {{right}}. He jumps with {{C}} and jumps down through certain platforms with {{down}}+{{C}}. Taz spins into a tornado with {{B}}, during which he moves faster and can run into enemies with impunity. Spinning while airborne from a jump allows for a farther jump; spinning while between two close walls climbs by bouncing Taz back and forth. Taz can spin into curved surfaces onto walls and ceilings. He can also dig into certain patches of soft ground with {{up}}+{{B}} or {{down}}+{{B}}.
  
Taz can eat various objects by walking into them, including helpful items such as food or hazardous items such as bombs. He can pick up items with {{A}}. Some stages have switches that he can flip with {{A}} or doorways that he enters with {{up}} and exits with {{down}}. In levels without a boss, Taz completes the level by reaching the "Exit" sign and eating it. In the final level of each world, Taz fights a boss. After defeating the boss, Taz finds an ACME crate and enters it to travel to the next world.

Taz has 12 hit points; he takes one point of damage by touching an enemy while not spinning or being hit by an enemy attack. Taz loses a life if he runs out of health. The game ends if Taz runs out of lives, but it can be continued from the beginning of the level as long as the player has continues remaining. Most enemies take one hit, but only one non-boss enemy takes more than two hits to destroy. Most bosses take six to eight hits. Some boss enemies take two hit points and Marvin's dog, K-9, takes four hit points. Some enemies, like the fly or armored soldier (in the Haunted Castle world) cannot be defeated by the spin but only by rocks or the flame. Others, like Yosemite Sam, cannot be defeated at all.

Scattered around are teleporters to teleport Taz to different parts of the level. The second level sees Taz navigating a multitude of obstacles, including moving platforms hovering above spikes, and metal pipes that Taz can spin along, allowing him to move across walls and ceilings in a style similar to ''Sonic the Hedgehog''. The boss is an alien resembling an elephant. The alien swings its long spines around in circles, then shoots exploding mines that bounce around.

===Game Gear and Master System versions===
 +
The game is a platformer and plays similarly to the Mega Drive version. Each level is divided into three sections, and the goal of each section is to make it to the exit at the end. The last section of each level ends with a boss fight. Other ''[[:Category:Looney Tunes|Looney Tunes]]'' characters make cameo appearances in the levels.
 +
 +
Taz walks with {{left}} and {{right}} and jumps with {{2}}. He spins into a tornado with {{1}} (which can be done in midair). He moves faster and jumps farther while spinning, and he is invulnerable to enemies and most attacks while doing so. He can attack enemies by spinning into them; some enemies can only be attacked by spinning into them from above. He can climb up narrow shafts by ricocheting off the sides while spinning. If he spins for too long, he becomes dizzy and momentarily vulnerable.
 +
 +
Taz has a health gauge and loses health whenever he is harmed by an enemy or a level hazard. He loses a life if he runs out of health, and the game ends if Taz runs out of lives. There are no continues.
 +
 +

Taz eats items by walking into them. Spinning into items destroys them.

Taz in Escape from Mars, also known as Escape from Mars Starring Taz, is a platform game developed by HeadGames and published by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive, Sega Game Gear and Sega Master System. The Master System version of the game was ported from the Game Gear version by Tec Toy, and was released in March 1997, exclusively to Brazil. It is a sequel to Taz-Mania (but lacks the tie-in to the television series).

During development, it had the longer title of Tasmanian Devil in Escape from Mars.

Story

Marvin the Martian visits his Martian zoo and finds an empty cage. He looks in his book for Earth creatures and finds Taz, the Tasmanian devil. Marvin gets the idea of capturing Taz for his zoo and heads to Earth to capture him. Meanwhile, Taz is minding his own business, when suddenly, Marvin beams Taz up into his flying saucer and takes Taz to his Martian zoo, where subsequently Taz escapes.

Gameplay

Mega Drive version

The game is a platformer played as Taz, a Tasmanian devil who can spin into a tornado. It plays similarly to its predecessor, Taz-Mania, but follows Taz escaping from Mars and his captor, Marvin the Martian. Taz completes most levels by reaching the "Exit" sign and eating it, but in the final level of each world, Taz fights a boss.

Taz walks with Left and Right. He jumps with C and jumps down through certain platforms with Down+C. Taz spins into a tornado with B, during which he moves faster and can run into enemies with impunity. Spinning while airborne from a jump allows for a farther jump; spinning while between two close walls climbs by bouncing Taz back and forth. Taz can spin into curved surfaces onto walls and ceilings. He can also dig into certain patches of soft ground with Up+B or Down+B.

Taz can eat various objects by walking into them, including helpful items such as food or hazardous items such as bombs. He can pick up items with A. Some levels have switches that he can flip with A or doorways that he enters with Up and exits with Down.

Taz has a health gauge worth 12 hit points. He takes one point of damage from enemy attacks or from touching an enemy while not spinning. He loses a life if he runs out of health. The game ends if Taz runs out of lives, but it can be continued from the beginning of the level as long as the player has continues remaining. Most enemies are defeated by one hit, but only one non-boss enemy takes more than two hits to destroy. Some enemies, like the fly or armored soldier (in the Haunted Castle) cannot be defeated by the spin but only by power-up abilities, while others, such as Yosemite Sam (in Mexico), cannot be defeated at all. Most bosses take six to eight hits.

Items

Taz eats items by walking into them. Spinning into items destroys them.

Mars
Taz begins on Mars in the Martian zoo Marvin brought him to. The first level sees Taz navigating through zoo cages and busting through walls. Scattered around are teleporters to teleport Taz to different parts of the level. The second level sees Taz navigating a multitude of obstacles, including moving platforms hovering above spikes, and metal pipes that Taz can spin along, allowing him to move across walls and ceilings in a style similar to Sonic the Hedgehog. The boss is an alien resembling an elephant. The alien swings its long spines around in circles, then shoots exploding mines that bounce around. Dodge the first attack by spinning along the walls and ceiling in a circle. Then avoid the mines. The alien will then open his eyes. Spin into him to defeat him.

Moleworld
Moleworld has hunters in the form of moles. There is also dirt that Taz can dig into, often littered with spiky mines. The second level involves a underground mine with a mole hunter driving a large tunnel boring machine that constantly moves forward and takes Taz's life away instantly. The boss is one of the mole hunters in a large spaceship in an area where Taz constantly falls with rocks along the way.

Planet X
Planet X involves some flying, and a little water. The first half of the first level involves land exploration with sliding along waterfalls and fast-moving rivers at the last half.

Mexico
Having arrived back on Earth, Taz is placed on a long, fast-moving wagon train pulled by mules with occasional cows and bulls along the pathway. Falling off this causes Taz to lose health and get dragged back slowly. Yosemite Sam sometimes appears here as well with a bird flying along that drops sticks of dynamite from the air, Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner also appear. The second level involves Taz exploring a Mexican town. Yosemite Sam fires his guns wildly in two places and it is the first level that introduces going indoors. The boss is a bull fight with Toro the bull, of which Taz needs to trick Toro into slamming into the walls of the stadium.

Marvin's House
Taz visits Marvin's house to confront him. The first level is outside where the level is drifting along the stars. The dog, K-9, is seen in two occasions as is even twice as powerful than any boss. The second level is a laser maze where Taz must shut off four lasers in order to access Marvin. Touching the lasers causes Taz to take damage. Gravity in the laser maze level is also varies on any of four basic directions: the usual straight down, but also up, left, and right. The final boss is Marvin himself.

After defeating Marvin, Taz jacks a space ship and pilots it back to Earth. The game ends when the animal eats a pile of fruit on the way home and went away spinning all the way.

Game Gear and Master System versions

The game is a platformer and plays similarly to the Mega Drive version. Each level is divided into three sections, and the goal of each section is to make it to the exit at the end. The last section of each level ends with a boss fight. Other Looney Tunes characters make cameo appearances in the levels.

Taz walks with Left and Right and jumps with 2. He spins into a tornado with 1 (which can be done in midair). He moves faster and jumps farther while spinning, and he is invulnerable to enemies and most attacks while doing so. He can attack enemies by spinning into them; some enemies can only be attacked by spinning into them from above. He can climb up narrow shafts by ricocheting off the sides while spinning. If he spins for too long, he becomes dizzy and momentarily vulnerable.

Taz has a health gauge and loses health whenever he is harmed by an enemy or a level hazard. He loses a life if he runs out of health, and the game ends if Taz runs out of lives. There are no continues.

Items

Taz eats items by walking into them. Spinning into items destroys them.
