I have been playing the Disney Sega games, like the two B&B games, Aladdin, Lion King, Pinocchio, The Jungle Book, The Little Mermaid, etc.
I don't really know why or how this era of fun licensed platformers for Disney movies came out, but I ain't mad.
Pocahontas is underrated af. This has some of the best organic level design and puzzles I've seen in a Sega Genesis game. It was never particularly difficult puzzles, but very satisfying and realistic with some clever slow-paced platforming (although the controls were a little clumsy). Also, the art style, animations, and sound quality were exceptional for a Genesis game. The game is quite short though, and can be completed in 1 hour, with 4 main large levels going through the movie's scenes. I highly recommend this game if you want a short puzzle, platformer.
This shit is still so good.
There is even a stealth level that really use the puzzle solving skills. Coming back to it, it kinda reminds me of an early, 2D pseudo-MGS (obviously controls weren't as good, but this came out in 1996). I remember being shocked at the quality of level design at play here for such an old game made with a Disney license.
Does anyone else remember this game? Honestly I was playing this and The Jungle Book tonight on my Genesis and they're still fun games.

It's easy to like this game better than the movie

You solve puzzles as both Pocahontas and her raccoon, Meeko. As you progress, you help animals as Pocahontas and gain their powers to help in your puzzle solving and platforming. It has surprisingly organic and well-designed levels. Within the first few minutes, you're using Meeko to take secret tunnels and push rocks so that Pocahontas can climb to high ledges. Meeko also doesn't swim, so you need to TLOU-style use rafts and floating logs to let him cross water. But it feels a little fresh each time because the implementation differs a little. The animal powers are useful and make sense. Otter power lets you dive underwater, bird power let's you survive large falls (which cutely enough, you get from rescuing a baby bird that fell out of its nest).-1457506077.png)
