Overview and Gameplay
The Hurricanes are trying to reach Gorgon Stadium for a charity soccer match, but Stavros Garkos turns the trip into a trap-filled detour. Hurricanes is a side-scrolling SNES platformer based on the animated series, starring Cal or Napper.
Across 15 timed levels, the player runs, jumps, ducks, kicks a soccer ball at enemies, opens crates, collects score items, and pushes through islands, airports, jungles, mines, and the Gorgon compound before reaching the match.
Controls And Mechanics
