Captain Squideo of GamePro gave the game a mostly mixed review, particularly focusing on the easy and rudimentary gameplay: "The game's colorful cartoon style is reminiscent of last year's Yogi Bear game, and the simplistic run-n-jump gameplay will appeal only to young gamers. ... The puzzles are remedial, enemies drop with one quick kick, and abundant time bonuses help you beat the clock." However, he did praise the quality and charm of the music, voices, and sound effects. [8] A reviewer for Next Generation criticized that the gameplay mechanics and level designs are mostly shamelessly ripped off from the Sonic the Hedgehog series, and handles them poorly with choppy animation and "a momentum that makes you feel as though you're controlling a large walrus, rather than a mouse." He gave it one out of five stars. [9]
