Play An American Tail: Fievel Goes West Online

Summary

The SNES title An American Tail: Fievel Goes West lets you step into the oversized boots of the plucky mouse from the film. Set after the Mousekewitz family’s trek to the American frontier in the 1800s, the side‑scrolling platformer has Fievel roaming dusty towns while dreaming of being a gunslinger. Armed with a harmless pop gun, you either shoot or dodge the scheming Cat R. Waul and his feline gang, who are plotting to turn the whole settlement into a mouse‑buffet. Along the way, the canine sheriff Wylie Burp and his unlikely cat ally Tiger lend a paw, turning the usual Wild West showdown into a quirky, non‑violent romp. Critics were split on the game’s charm and execution, giving it a mixed reception when it hit the SNES in the mid‑90s.

Storyline

An American Tail: Fievel Goes West (often just called Fievel Goes West) drops players into 1890 AD, a period when the Wild West is still thriving. The game’s setting blends the late‑19th‑century frontier with the whimsical world of the cartoon.

The protagonist is a three‑inch‑tall mouse named Fievel, who must make his way across the 1870s‑1900s Wild West to reunite with his family. His tiny size and cartoon charm drive the adventure through dusty towns, railroads, and desert landscapes.
