Gameplay
The player controls either LaShawn or Kahlil as they wreak havoc in Fun World, the Disneyland-like theme park featured in the film.[4] Similar to both Konami's The Simpsons and Kaneko's B. Rap Boys, the player must contend with security guards, disgruntled mascots, and pirates who work for the theme park.[5][unreliable source?] Other stages include a haunted house,[5] a pirate ship,[5] and the pits. Both characters have unique special attacks.
Reception
Nintendo Power gave the game a very negative review. While noting that it had "nice graphics and sound", the magazine criticized its "extremely slow action", stating enemies "take huge amounts of damage so battles seem endless", as well as its "poor play control."[6] In 1997, Nintendo Power ranked it the worst video game of all time.[7]
Time Extension also listed Bebe's Kids as one of the worst SNES games.[8]
