Beauty and the Beast
Super Nintendo (SNES)Action
Beauty and the Beast is a side-scrolling action platformer developed and published by Hudson Soft for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994. Based on Disney's animated film, it places the player in control of the Beast as he travels through dangerous areas connected to the castle and attempts to reunite with Belle. The game combines straightforward platforming with enemy encounters and collectible-focused exploration. Its short stages, simple controls, and recognizable film setting make it accessible, though its difficulty and basic presentation received a mixed response from players.
