One of the worst gameplay aspects is the terrible collision detection. The bosses basically just pace back and forth while throwing projectiles at you.

It's also a very ugly Sonic with a weird muzzle.

Jazz Jackrabbit is more of a parody of the trend than playing it straight like the others.
The comic in the manual even has a cameo of Sonic, demanding for his lawyer. XD

Just seeing the title screen alone was bad enough. When he says he's Awesome, I immediately don't think that. Sure, that's his name, but it's like they named him that just to specifically allow him to say that. Definitely giving off that "trying to be cool in the 90s but not actually cool realistically" feel. I didn't even play the game, I only saw it in a Sonic the Hedgehog rip offs video featuring Dolphman's holy grail (AKA Jazz Jackrabbit) and a few others.

Even rolls into a ball? Jeeze, you'd think they'd at least do something that would make sense for a possum, like swinging by the tail or...playing dead? I guess he really looks more like a brown raccoon. Also apparently his irises are the same color as his sclera, but still somehow distinct. Make of that what you will.

It surprises me Tengen never got sued for plagiarism. There's so much they ripped off.
Blatant ripoff of Dr. Robotnik, complete with similar name and robot motif.
Rolls into a ball, and runs really fast. Uglier takes on Sonic's level tropes.
What also doesn't help was the preachy environmental themes it has.
Even during that time we were sick of that shit as kids.

What even was this? Takes some moxy to rip off the mascot of the very platform you use...
