Summary

The SNES adaptation of *An American Tail: Fievel Goes West* translates the animated classic into a breezy side‑scroll platformer where Fievel Mousekewitz chases a cowboy dream across the frontier. Players guide the young mouse through dusty towns and open trails while avoiding—or popping—various cat foes, including the devious Cat R. Waul and his gang. A quirky pop gun adds a non‑violent twist to the Western shoot‑em up vibe, letting Fievel blast enemies without bloodshed. Friendly allies, such as the lanky canine sheriff Wylie Burp and an unexpected cat sidekick, Tiger, lend occasional assistance, enriching the whimsical tone. Although the game’s graphics and charm earned some praise, critics were split, noting repetitive level design and controls. Nonetheless, it remains a nostalgic footnote for anyone who grew up with the movie or loved 90s platforming experiments on the Super Nintendo.

Storyline

The game An American Tail: Fievel Goes West (often just called Fievel Goes West) drops players into 1890 AD, a surprisingly deep setting for a cartoon platformer. You control a three‑inch‑tall mouse named Fievel, who is on a quest to travel back to the classic Wild West era of the 1870s‑1900s. The storyline follows his journey across dusty towns, railroads and frontier landscapes as he tries to reunite with his family and claim his place in the untamed West.
