PREMISE:          Colorful run-and-jump staring the spokesperson for the
                  McDonalds fast-food joints, Ronald McDonald.  He is
                  wandering aimlessly through the woods one day (as usual),
                  when he finds a piece of a treasure map.  Excited at his
                  discovery, he decides to find the rest of the map and
                  thereby find the treasure.  This was originally produced
                  at the time as a special nationwide promotion for the
                  Japanese franchises.

IMPRESSIONS:      I usually think of Yu Yu Hakusho or Gunstar Heroes
                  whenever I see the Treasure logo gracing a game.  It's
                  discomforting to know that they made some losers along
                  with their many winners.  Don't get me wrong - it looks
                  and sounds great, and plays pretty decently, but the
                  whole concept sucks.  I'll pass, thank you.
