Great Waldo Search, The is a Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) game released in 1994. It is based on the popular British comic strip "Where's Wally?". The goal of the game is to find Wally and his friends, Woof and Wenda, who are hidden in various levels.
The game starts with the player controlling Wally in a world map composed of four distinct areas: Fantasyland, Sci-Fi Land, Adventureland, and Wild West. Each area has five levels plus a bonus level. In each level there are several objects that must be collected in order to progress further into the game. These objects are usually hidden behind walls or other obstacles that must be navigated around. As the player progresses through the levels they will encounter enemies such as robots or monsters who must be avoided or defeated using items such as bombs or slingshots.
In each level there are also clues that can be found to help locate Wally, Woof and Wenda. These clues range from finding footprints to deciphering puzzles, while other times they involve interacting with NPCs (non-player characters). In addition to these clues there are also items scattered throughout each level which can help in locating Wally and his friends; these items can either be used directly or combined with other items in order to create new ones which can then be used for this purpose.
At certain points during the game there are mini-games which must be completed in order for progression to continue. These mini-games range from matching games where pairs of cards must be selected correctly to maze games where a character must navigate from one side of a maze to another without being killed by an enemy robot.
Once all five levels of an area have been completed the player gains access to its bonus level where they will finally confront Wally and his friends; after defeating them they will gain access to the next area on the world map until eventually all four areas have been cleared and the player completes their quest of finding Waldo and his companions. Great Waldo Search, The is a fun game for all ages that combines elements of exploration and puzzle solving with action sequences involving enemies that require quick reflexes and problem solving skills in order for success.
