Frenzy! is a 1998 Shoot 'Em Up action game made for the first PlayStation.Set in some unspecified time period presumed to be the 1930s, an evil dictator who calls himself Count Von Toten is secretly building an army to Take Over the World; with every other nation fighting in World War I and no-one available at hand to stop Von Toten, it's up to you and your trusty, weapons-loaded biplane to defeat the dictator. Nope, there really isn't much of a plot behind this one.Despite the premise of being set in a war, Frenzy! is surprisingly cute and cuddly in the graphics department, with onscreen enemies resembling toys and most of the stages looking like playsets. The game also allows a greater degree of freedom than other airplane shooters of it's type, where you have the options of turning around and backtrack an area behind, or simply fly circles around enemy bases while taking potshots until you blew everything up. But don't let it's silly animations fool you - the game can get surprisingly Nintendo Hard at times.Contains parallels to Boogie Wings, another cartoony, borderline-psychedelic aviation-based shooter game where you kicks ass in a biplane during a 1930s setting.Unrelated to the movie.

Weaponized Landmark: Von Toten's army managed to turn a Disneyland-style castle into a mechanical boss. They did the same to Stonehenge, where the stones starts walking all over the place and comically attempts leaping at you from below.

One of the bosses is a gigantic mobile turret who's fixed on the spot, but can rotate itself to attack you with its Wave-Motion Gun. You avoid damage by flying behind it.

Under the Sea: "Scuba-Doo!" is inexplicably set underwater, where you dive under the sea (with your biplane replaced by a mini-submarine) to destroy Von Toten's Underwater Base. The only difference is in aesthetics though - gameplay-wise everything else plays out the same.

Sequential Boss: Count Von Toten, the game's Big Bad and Final Boss. Adfter fighting a Boss Rush of seven previous bosses, you take on his flying castle and prevent it from taking off by damaging it's wings while avoiding obstacles, before fighting the grounded structure. After you blow it up, Von Toten jettisons the structure on a weaponized escape pod, which you must battle all over again, and then face Von Toten as he hops on another larger plane. Take down his plane however and you beat the game.

Boss Rush: "Return of the Magnificient Seven!", like the title states, where you re-fight the first seven bosses of the game, one at a time. Even the giant octopus mecha which you fought underwater previously while piloting a submarine is somehow capable of functioning on land. And at the end of the stage, you face Count Von Toten as the boss.

Stationary Boss: More than one of the bosses are built into the center of the stage, where your strafing move will work wonders for you: The weaponized castle, being, well, a castle, is built in the ground. It can still spam projectile attacks on you however, including launcing it's spires as ranged missiles. One of the bosses is a gigantic mobile turret who's fixed on the spot, but can rotate itself to attack you with its Wave-Motion Gun. You avoid damage by flying behind it.

It's spires can launch itself as missiles after you, for starters...

Shout-Out: A bunch, all which borders on Anachronism Stew because of the game's setting in the 1930s, before any of the following pop-culture references even eixsted: The robotic Rock Monster is called Rocky VII, and while that's not much of a reference on it's own, it's stage's password is "Adrian!" The second-to-last stage, "Return of the Magnificient Seven". There are minor robot enemies resembling Daleks and machines looking like Flintmobiles that you can blow up.
