Stone Protectors Review
Stone Protectors, a Super Nintendo beat 'em up released in 1994 by Kemco, is a competent but unremarkable adaptation of its source material. While the game features visually distinct characters based on the animated series and toy line, their gameplay mechanics are identical, offering little depth. The experience is best enjoyed with a second player, but ultimately serves as fan service with limited replay value.
