Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure is a platform game developed and published by Activision in 1994. It is part of the Pitfall series, and is notable for being one of the few games to be released on both the Sega 32X and Sega Mega-CD Sega Mega Drive add-ons, as well as being a stand-alone title for the standard Mega Drive system. It was also released for the Atari Jaguar, Super Nintendo, Windows and more recently the Game Boy Advance. The Mega Drive version has since been released on the Wii's Virtual Console service.

In the game the player controls Pitfall Harry Jr., the son of the hero from the first game(s) who must rescue his father. The original Atari 2600 Pitfall! game is also hidden and can be played.

The game was highly praised for its detailed graphics and smooth animations, similar to Disney's Aladdin. Though the 32X version of the game has a larger color palette, it is let down by slower framerates (despite the systems superior processing power, hinting that this version was rushed out and/or not carefully programmed). The Mega-CD version, as well as including a CD audio soundtrack, contains full motion video sequences and extra stages. Compared to the 32X version, it runs stable. The SNES version has brighter, more balanced color palette, but technical issues such as slowdown, missing animations etc. The "definitive" version is a tie between the Mega-CD, Jaguar and PC version.

One weird thing is that the Nordic rental version had different artwork. The hero is almost the same but under him you'll see two crocodiles.

Gameplay

Controls can be configured. The game supports the 6 button controller. A shoots the selected weapon, B jumps and C is for a physical attack. X, Y and Z can be used to access rocks, boomerang or smart bomb respectively. On a 3 button controller,  START  cycles through available weapons. Holding  START  pressed for some time pauses the game. Pushing Down and B together makes Harry Jr. crawl. Levers are used by pushing Up.

All stages contain a magnitude of secrets to collect, including hidden letters that for the word "Pitfall".

Extra stages

  • The extra stages in the Sega Mega-CD version are located after the nightime jungle stage. They were meshed into the game and don't require any special method the be accessed. These stages mainly reuse graphics instead of having newly drawn ones. Difficulty wise, they compare to the end game stages of the regular version.
