Hurricanes is a 1994 platformer for various systems, including the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Game Gear, by U.S. Gold based on DiC's Hurricanes cartoon. The MD and GG versions were only released in Europe (a SNES port developed by Probe was released in the US). Each version has different levels.

The game is a platformer similar to Marko's Magic Football: you play as one of the players on the fictional Hurricanes football team as they use their football to destroy enemies through various platforming levels. C/1 kicks and A/2 jumps. The ball will always come back to you after you kick it.

In the Game Gear version, the goal of each stage is to collect a certain amount of items to open up the exit to the next level (which is represented by a flag with the Hurricanes logo on it.)
