A little piece of fan art I asked Toughset to make for me for an old SNES game I enjoyed back in the nineties.
Claymates was a platform game in which the player assumed the role of Clayton, the son of professor Putty who gets kidnapped by the witch doctor Jobo when the good professor discovers a formula to give people clay shaping abilities which to Jobo infringes on his magic ability to do so.
Before kidnapping his father Jobo turns Clayton into a ball of sentient clay with shapeshifting abilities who then sets out to rescue his father and regain his human shape.
This is Muckster the cat, one of the five animals which form the player can assume during the game. He was my favorite animal to play (his controls but also because he is a cat).
Though this wasn't the best platform game on the SNES and it had its flaws (it was released during a period in which mascot platformers were a dime a dozen; Bubsy the Bobcat, Aero the Acro-bat etc) I still find it wrongfully forgotten as I really liked the whimsical art style.
I would love to have seen a sequel to Claymates with the graphics being even more clay like.
I hope to have some more fan art tributes to some of my favorite games made in the future.

It was a pretty cute game to look at but platformers at the time were like that.

Well a lot of platformers at the time outside of Mario and Donkey Kong Country were trying to imitate Sonic.
One of the advertisement texts on the game's box was that it came with "Blaze Processing", sort of a reference to Blast Processing which was advertised the Sega Genesis/Megadrive or the Sonic games were capable of.

Oh you want a full walkthrough/longplay?

It is up to three hours though.
The mouse can be seen at the start.

Nope, really based on how the cat is depicted on the game box and in the game. https://proxy.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=.....es.jpg&f=1
Any similarities with that character's appearance is a pure coincidence.
