The title of this game really should be “AAAHH!!! Real Garbage,” since that's pretty much what this game is. I fortunately don't remember much about the old Nickelodeon cartoon, but I do know it was about three ugly looking monsters that went around scaring people.
The developers of the game did a good job scaring me, at least, because it's difficult to describe the fear that you get when you realize you've just wasted 10 minutes of your life playing it. You get to control all three of the monsters: a short and stubby red thing with bunny ears, a fat, hairy midget who can throw his eyeballs at stuff, and some kind of black and white candy cane creature with ginormous red lips. You would think that with three playable monsters in the game, it had to be at least somewhat fun, but no. Each monster attacks in exactly the same way, by throwing garbage at enemies. Enemies, by the way, like rats, bats and pit bulls. If these are monsters, why don't they just eat these helpless creatures and be on their way? Oh, wait, they're monsters-in-training, I forgot.

| This really is a nightmare. |
The monsters are on some kind of scavenger hunt for school in every single level, in which they must prove their worth by collecting a sneaker. To do so, they'll need to make use of their astounding monster powers. Two of the powers involve either making the monsters stand on top of each other or flinging them across pits. The final power lets you throw midget monster's eyeball, letting you get a look at the nightmare around you.
Sure, you might get through the first level in the dump, and collect that sneaker in the process. But when your teacher just tells you to basically go do the same thing again, only in another dump, it's then time to rip the game out of your Super Nintendo, burn it, and find something not crappy to play.
