TaleSpin (sometimes listed as Disney's TaleSpin) is a 2D platformer developed by Capcom for the NES in 1991. It is based on the Disney cartoon of the same name (which in turn is loosely based on the Disney film The Jungle Book, which itself was based on short stories by Rudyard Kipling). A Game Boy version was released in 1992.

Re-released in 2017 as part of the The Disney Afternoon Collection.

Gameplay[]

The gameplay consists of maneuvering Baloo's plane "The Seaduck" through each level, fending off incoming enemies and avoiding obstacles. Items can be collected for extra lives or to add to the total cash score. The plane can be rotated upside to traverse back through the level, but only on horizontally scrolling areas. At the end of each level, the player is required to fight a boss enemy by repeatedly shooting its weak points. After beating a level, the player has the option to buy upgrades for Baloo's plane with the money collected, before proceeding to the next level. In bonus levels the player controls Kit on an airfoil to pop balloons for bonus points.
