''High Seas Havoc'', released in Japan as ''Captain Lang'' and in PAL Terrorities as "Capt'n Havoc"[[note]] The cover art for PAL terrorities names the game "Havoc", however it's named "Capt'n Havoc" in the title screen[[/note]], is a PlatformGame that was developed and published by Creator/DataEast for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis, being released first in North America within 1993 before later on getting released for both Japan and Europe in 1994, with Europe's publisher being Creator/{{Codemasters}} instead of Data East themselves. This delightful platformer tells the story of a noble pirate seal named Captain Havoc/Lang who, together with his kid sidekick, Tide/Lando, sail the seven seas in search of adventure, fighting more villainous corsairs and generally living the good life.

It also had the misfortune of having its sound driver stolen and used for several unlicensed ("[[{{Pun}} pirated]]", shall we say) games for the Mega Drive.



* {{Expy}}: Bridgette looks a lot like an older [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Amy Rose]], doesn't she? And really, if not for his seal flippers, Havoc's general demeanor is rather reminiscent of [[Characters/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic's]], and he even has a KidSidekick...

to:

* {{Expy}}: Havoc's design and personality comes the closest of any MascotWithAttitude to heavily envoking the Japanese version of Characters/SonicTheHedgehog correctly, especially with his general demeanor being "cool, determined, and tough", but "cute, friendly, and funny", not being burdened by many of the mistakes that many of the western-designed mascots shared. Heck, if not for a last minute color swap from an early prototype of the game, he'd easily be mistaken for Sonic with a bandana and seal flippers.

Added DiffLines:

** The cover art for the UK and Australian releases of the game plays this straight, as instead of showing Havoc and Bernardo, the cover only shows a menacing-looking pirate skull and crossbones.

* MascotWithAttitude: Havoc is pretty much Data East's take on the Mascot craze of the 90s.

* TurnsRed: In your final battle with Bernardo, he uses the power of the Emerelda to pull this on you — what keeps this from being a OneWingedAngel scenario is that he doesn't really change his appearance, except for [[GoldenSuperMode turning gold ]]. Yes, you read that right — the ''final boss'' pulls this on ''you!''
