Disney's TaleSpin

Disney's TaleSpin

TaleSpin is a side-scrolling shooter video game based on the Disney television series TaleSpin. The game was developed by Capcom for the NES in 1991 and ported to the Game Boy in 1992. The Game Boy version is essentially a slightly stripped-down version of the game. The NES version of the game was included in the compilation "The Disney Afternoon Collection" for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in April 2017. The gameplay consists of maneuvering Baloo's plane, "The Sea Duck," through each level, fending off attacking enemies, and avoiding obstacles. Items can be collected to gain extra lives or increase the total score. The plane can be turned upside down to fly backwards through the level, but only in horizontally scrolling areas. At the end of each level, the player must fight a boss by repeatedly shooting at its weak points. After completing a level, the player has the option to use the money they have collected to purchase upgrades for Baloo's plane before moving on to the next level. In bonus levels, the player controls Kit on a glider to pop balloons to collect bonus points.

Story

Baloo and Kit are still employees of Rebecca Cunningham at Higher for Hire. She looks in the newspaper and finds that the mayor has announced a flying competition with a lifetime employment contract for Cape Suzette as the prize. She shows it to the others, who then decide to take part. But Shere Khan from Khan Industries is also interested in the competition. The town clerk announces that Higher for Hire and Khan Industries have been selected for the competition, with Shere Khan's company taking first place. They successfully complete their run, giving Higher for Hire just seven days to win. Baloo and Kit must now collect 10 crates of cargo from 8 countries around the world, evading Shere Khan's henchmen and Don Karnage's airstrikes.
