Bebe's Kids is a side-scrolling beat 'em up video game developed by Radical Entertainment and published by Motown Games/Paramount Interactive for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, released in 1994. It is based on the 1992 animated film of the same title, and matched its yielding of largely unfavorable critical reception.

Gameplay

[edit]
The player has to fight these two evil mascots in this screenshot.

The player controls either LaShawn or Kahlil, as they devastate Fun World, the Disneylandesque theme park shown in the film.[4] Similar to both Konami's The Simpsons and Kaneko's B. Rap Boys: Players must watch out for security guards, disgruntled mascots, and pirates (that are employees of the theme park).[5] Other stages include a haunted house,[5] a pirate ship,[5] and the pits. Both characters have their own special attacks.

Reception

[edit]

Nintendo Power gave a very negative review. While it was stated that the game had "nice graphics and sound", they noted that the game had "extremely slow action. Enemies take huge amounts of damage so battles seem endless" and "poor play control".[6] In 1997, Nintendo Power ranked it the worst video game of all time.[7]

Time Extension listed Bebe's Kids as one of the worst SNES games.[8]
