Aaahh!!! Real Monsters is a platform game for the Sega Mega Drive based on the Aaahh!!! Real Monsters cartoon series.

Gameplay

You play as one of the three main characters from the series, and by holding Down and pressing A during gameplay, the player is allowed to switch between Ickis, Krumm, and Oblina. Each character has a special move that allows the player progress through the game, and while holding Up press A to perform the current character's special move. A screams to scare enemies away, B throws trash and C jumps.
