Toy Story is a classic side-scrolling platformer released for the Sega Genesis in 1995. Developed by Traveller’s Tales, the game closely follows the plot of the hit Pixar film, putting you in the boots of Woody as he tries to maintain his position as Andy’s favorite toy. The game is notable for its pre-rendered 3D graphics that pushed the hardware and its impressive variety of levels, ranging from standard platforming to an iconic first-person maze segment.
How to Play
The primary objective is to guide Woody through various stages inspired by the movie, collecting stars and avoiding hazards. For the Sega Genesis, the default controls use the D-pad to move, the A button to jump, and the B or C button to use Woody’s pull-string as a whip to swing from hooks and tie up enemies. In the browser emulator, these are mapped to your arrow keys for movement, with the Z, X, and C keys corresponding to the original console face buttons.
Tips
Mastering Woody’s pull-string whip is essential; use it to momentarily stun enemies like the RC car, allowing you to safely bypass them. During the unique first-person level, Really Inside the Claw Machine, focus your efforts on collecting the squeaky aliens as quickly as possible and tossing them into the prize chute before the timer runs out, making sure to avoid the fast-moving obstacles.
