Opening Snide Remarks: I always have liked Speedy Gonzalez.  I hope
that his Gameboy debut is good too.  

Gameplay: Speedy is a platform game with jumps galore, one-hit kills,
and enemies that you can kill by jumping on their head. If you think that
you have played the exact same game before but with a different name,
you're right, but this game is just different enough. Speedy plays a lot like
Sonic The Hedgehog, and is the closest that Gameboy players will probably
ever get.      

Graphics: Pretty good graphics for a platformer, with large characters
and speedy graphics.  Sonic style loop-de-loops are also present and are
cool. When Speedy hits a spring and shoots across the ground you could really
see the Sonic influence.

Sound: Standard sound effects are what you'd expect and what you get.  
 

Music: The music in Speedy is excellent.  There are varying themes to
the music depending on what zone you are in.  An excellent rendition of the 
Looney Toons theme song is present when the game begins.   

Play Control: The play control is excellent but very simple.  The joypad
controls Speedy while the "A" button makes Speedy jump.  Speedy is a bit 
floaty though.

Final Analysis: Speedy Gonzalez is an excellent game that really impressed 
me. It's the closest thing to a Sonic game that the Gameboy will probably 
ever get.  You really shouldn't ignore it because it is just another platform
game.
