A LicensedGame based on ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'', developed by Creator/RealtimeAssociates and published by Creator/{{Sega}} in 1993 for the UsefulNotes/GameGear. It was also ported to the UsefulNotes/SegaMasterSystem in 1995 in Brazil by Tec Toy.

One day in their house, Stimpy finds what looks like a new pair of shoes, and shows them to Ren. Upon seeing them, Ren tells Stimpy that those aren't shoes; they're the hooves of the Great Shaven Yak. He comes to the conclusion that the Great Shaven Yak must have accidentally left his hooves behind when he visited their house last Yak Shaving Day. Stimpy wants to keep the hooves, but Ren advises against this, as there might never be another Yak Shaving Day if he does. Thus, the two go off on a quest to The Great Frozen North to find the Great Shaven Yak, return his hooves, and save Yak Shaving Day.

This game is an action platformer where you can play as either Ren or Stimpy in their quest to find the Great Shaven Yak. Ren and Stimpy travel through five different worlds; The Blacker Than Black Forest, The Stinking Dry Desert, The Stinking Wet Bayou, The Perilous Mt. Hoek, and The Great Frozen North. Each character has their own unique abilities, activated by pressing the jump button and up on the D-Pad simultaneously. Ren can do a super jump, while Stimpy can do a butt stomp. They can also attack enemies by pressing the action button. Ren can toss toothbrushes, Stimpy can cough up hairballs, and both characters can use special weapons like a remote control, a bar of soap, and slices of powdered toast once they find them. Each world ends with a boss battle.

!! This game provides examples of:

* AllDesertsHaveCacti: The Stinking Dry Desert naturally has cacti, some of which shoot prickles.
* AmphibianAssault:
** Toads serve as enemies in The Stinking Dry Desert. They hop in place, harming Ren or Stimpy if they get too close to them.
** Frogs serve as enemies in The Stinking Wet Bayou. They hop in an arch, so Ren and Stimpy have to stand in the right spot to avoid getting hit.
* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: The Abominable Snowman serves as the game's FinalBoss.
* BodyPocket: Both Ren and Stimpy have these, and if either character is chosen, they will carry the other character in them.
* BubblegloopSwamp: The Stinking Wet Bayou serves as the game's third world.
* BullyBulldog: A mean bulldog serves as the boss of The Blacker Than Black Forest.
* ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes: When you pause the game, the screen goes dark, and all that can be seen of Ren or Stimpy are their eyes.

* HairRaisingHare: Rabbits serve as enemies in The Great Frozen North. Besides hopping, they also attack by tossing snowballs.
* IdleAnimation: Unpausing the game reveals what Ren and Stimpy have been doing while the game was paused; Ren has been scratching his butt and Stimpy has been adding to his spit jar. After a few seconds, they'll look up at the player in embarrassment and then flash an awkward grin.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Ren's basic attack is tossing toothbrushes at his enemies, while Stimpy's is [[HairballHumor coughing up hairballs]]. Other weapons the duo can use upon finding them are a remote control that fires lightning bolts, a bar of soap that fires bubbles, and slices of powdered toast.
* LifeMeter: Both Ren and Stimpy have their own, which consists of rubber nipples. Each of them start out with three and can hold up to five. When they take a hit, half a rubber nipple disappears, meaning they can take up to ten hits before losing a life. Collecting health power-ups adds half an extra rubber nipple until the life meter is fully replenished.
* TheLostWoods: The Blacker Than Black Forest serves as the game's first world.
* MediumAwareness: If you get a GameOver, Stimpy laments to Ren that there will never be another Yak Shaving Day and it's all their fault because they failed in their quest. Ren tells Stimpy to calm down, assuring him that they're in a video game and they can always try again another time.

* PiranhaProblem: Piranhas serve as enemies in The Great Frozen North. They attack Ren or Stimpy by jumping out of the water.
