Hurricanes (Game Gear)

From the same team who brought you the Genesis version, Hurricanes is based off the short-lived TV series. Instead of being a soccer game, it is an action game that plays similarly to Soccer Kid. Unlike the Genesis version, where the goal is to get from point A to point B, the goal in the Game Gear version is to collect enough items in the level, and then go to the end of the level to progress. Sounds fun, right? I didn't think so.

Unused Music#

This page or section needs more audio.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough audio. Please fix this.
Specifically: Upload music.

Like the Genesis version, the Game Gear version has an unused track. The same song appears in the Genesis version during the bonus games, though pitched a key lower. The Game Gear version has no such minigames, and thus, goes unused.

The ending music also doesn't get to play completely since the music stops when the screen fades out to the credits.
