Hurricanes, The is a side-scrolling action platformer developed by Virgin Interactive and released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994. The game follows the adventures of four stormy superheroes as they seek to save their island from the clutches of an evil scientist named Dr. Eon.

Each level contains multiple stages which must be completed before progressing to the next level. Players must battle various enemies such as robots, aliens and monsters while platforming across treacherous terrain filled with deadly traps like spikes and lava pits.

In addition to standard platforming elements like collecting coins and power-ups, Hurricanes includes puzzles that require players to carefully use their heroes' abilities in order to progress past obstacles or defeat bosses at the end of each level. As players progress through the game they are rewarded with new items that can help them on their quest such as armor upgrades or powerful weapons like bombs and lasers.
