About Chester Cheetah: Wild Wild Quest
The player may explore the game world in a non-linear fashion. At any time, there are three levels available and the player may tackle them in any order. Each solved level leads to additional two. On each level, the player must find the missing map piece, proceed to the exit, and defeat the level boss. Chester can dash and kill enemies by jumping on their heads. He dies from one hit, unless he has a pack of the cheetahs snack at his disposal. In this case, he'll recover full health.

A mascot platformer with mixed reviews that costs a little more than the typical US cart.
Chester Cheetah: Wild Wild Quest stars the Cheetos snack mascot in a platformer made by Kaneko for the Genesis and Super NES. The Genesis version came out in North America in January 1994, and it follows Kaneko's earlier Chester Cheetah game, Too Cool to Fool.
Reception was mixed on both the Genesis and SNES versions. It is a curiosity for collectors of mascot and advertising games more than a classic.
What the press said at the time
| MegaTech Issue 30 | June 1994 | 31% |
“Also, the slowdown that is so apparent in the SNES version, did not make it’s way on to the Genesis. Overall, I would have to say that most of this game’s appeal is Chester himself, he is actually a very appealing character.”
“Throw in bad programming, bugs, garish graphics, flickery animation and no gameplay whatsoever, resulting in a very poor product indeed.”
Before you buy
Among US carts it sits above the middle. It came out only in North America, so a US cart is the one to look for. A complete copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
