A playthrough of a prototype for the unreleased NES game, Crazy Land.
Originally slated for publication by NTVIC in 1991, Crazy Land would've be the North American release of KID's Doki! Doki! Yuuenchi Crazy Land Daisakusen (ドキ!ドキ! 遊園地クレイジーランド大作戦) for the Famicom.
The game's North American release was canceled, but it did show up in PAL regions in 1993 when American Softworks published a reskinned version under the name The Trolls in Crazyland ( • The Trolls in Crazylan... ). Please check out that playthrough if you'd like to see my overview/review of the game.
Aside from the changes to the title screen, Crazy Land is the same game as its original Japanese release, but I thought it would be interesting to document this prototype. I wanted to play it after seeing it previewed in Nintendo Power, and for a long time I wondered what happened to it.
If any of you guys found yourselves in the same boat, here's your answer!

This unreleased prototype is the North American version of the game known as The Trolls in Crazyland in Europe. Anyone else remember seeing the preview for it in Nintendo Power?

@BB-te8tc Месяц назад

I do! Volume 29 I think, with the screenshot of the roller coaster loop level. 8 year old me thought it looked like the best thing ever

@demenciafan2k3 Месяц назад

Funnily enough, that Trolls version also had a planned NTSC release, which, like Crazy Land, had the release pulled at the last second. Makes ya think huh

This game was released in Japan and was named Doki! Doki! Yuuenchi. It was also produced by the Chinese on pirated cartridges and it had a name Disneyland 2. This game is one of my favorite games as a child.

No one's talking about the OST? That Final Boss theme slaps! 37:43

Prior to learning about this video of yours, NintendoComplete, I had no idea that North America was really close to getting a release of _Doki! Doki! Yuuenchi: Crazyland Daisakusen_ . Personally, I would have never known about this game had it not been for emulation. That last roller-coaster stage can eff right off to me. I would have loved to have played this in my youth. I also had no idea that Capcom composer Harumi Fujita (credited as Mrs. Terumi) had something to do with this game. Keep up the good work.

I remember I played this NES game I got in the yellow cartridge for one Famiclone game console we got from the street market in the beginning of the 90s. I really liked to play this platformer game, even when I reached the way harder levels. 🙂 The chiptune music is very good, I listen to this game's music on RU-vid if I'm feeling sad. 🙂 I didn't know this NES game was planned to release in the US region besdies Japanese region.

Хорошее прохождение. Играл в детстве в эту игру; покатушки в космосе - отдельный вид хардкора.

@therealseanw.stewart2071 Месяц назад

This game looks very interesting. Is it just me, or are the graphics on a whole other level than most

First off, I think this game is underrated. The art style is very cute, the soundtrack is *AMAZING* and the (simplistic) gameplay is enjoyable. I'm a fan of the weapon/damage system; The more hits you take, the stronger your weapons will be to compensate. From blue softballs to red soccer balls. Secondly... Where on earth did you find this NTSC-U prototype? *EDIT:* The proto is downloadable on Hidden Palace since December of 2022. It's been around for well over a year and I didn't even know about it until now.🤣

The 🎢 level had some neat pseudo-3D.

This is what happens when you throw Ghouls N' Ghosts, Totally Rad, Circus Caper and Ninja Ryukenden in a blender and forget to put the top on.

This CrazyLand! game was featured on a 1992 episode (season 2) of Video Power.

@TheLuna9526 26 дней назад

I first heard about this game in a TAS video and I looked up the wiki page for it and it’s such a shame this didn’t come out in the US cause it would’ve been one of those neat obscure lil gems that you may have only heard from your friends or some kid across the neighborhood

@toriel2.024_comentarista Месяц назад

game with adorable graphics and music, although I like the trooll version better, this original version is great ☕🐏

@Dorian_Scott Месяц назад

Nah, this is better than the Trolls version.

@toriel2.024_comentarista Месяц назад

@@Dorian_Scott respectable opinion 🐐👍but if you think about it, only the protagonist sprite changes there, I like the other version more because in some way it is even more strange xdddddddddd

@edwardgaines6561 Месяц назад

The boss designs could be better though, barring the very last one!

@MarcBarkyMarta Месяц назад

KID did solid work. The samples on the music are a bit much for me, though. Too noisy for my liking in an NES soundtrack.

@spoonshiro Месяц назад

Pretty nifty game!

This is what Tiny Toon Adventures 2: Trouble in Wackyland should have been.

@Loader2K1 29 дней назад

I think I would have much rather played a rehash of _Tiny Toon Adventures 1_ on the NES with Buster Bunny in an amusement park than what Konami gave us. While it was by no means terrible, I liked the basic gameplay of the original game over the mixture of gameplay genres in _TTA2_ myself.

@NintendoComplete 28 дней назад

@@Loader2K1Me too. It looked and sounded great, but I was pretty meh on the gameplay.

@devonwilliams5738 Месяц назад

Interesting that the North American release has the original soundtrack. I thought the Japanese version relied on Famicom only sound extension hardware or something, so we'd have gotten the Trolls in Crazyland version of the soundtrack if we got this game in the US. A lot of the music is much faster in the PAL version, maybe they were made faster so it would sound right at 50Hz?

@NintendoComplete Месяц назад

I imagine that the PAL version was missing the samples because the shift to 50hz would've messed with the pitch they played at.

@EuSouRCS Месяц назад

@@NintendoComplete I can't find this prototype rom anywhere,can you share just the website name to help me to find this version?

@devonwilliams5738 29 дней назад

@@NintendoComplete Is that a known thing for PAL NES releases? I know Sunsoft and Konami's later NES releases were super heavy on samples, is the pitch all off on those?

@NintendoComplete 28 дней назад

@EuSouRCS Iirc it's part of the Nointro set. The archive probably has it.

@MBRetroGamer 28 дней назад

nice crazy land , very good

@burgerinabox6063 Месяц назад

I'm glad they kept the orchestra hits for the US proto. They were mostly absent in the Trolls version. What gives, why was Europe shafted? It's an awesome soundtrack but without those extra samples it falls kind of flat.
