Daze Before Christmas is a platform video game developed by Norwegian company Funcom for the Mega Drive and published by Sunsoft in 1994 in Australia.
The player controls Santa Claus as he races to save Christmas from an evil mouse who has stolen the kids' presents, and cursed them with a spell.
Santa faces foes such as giant rats, evil toys and living snowmen using his magic powers to turn them all into Christmas presents.
In a break between platform levels, at several points in the game, Santa flies in his sleigh and uses the presents he collects to drop them down chimneys in several locations around the world.
[1][2] The level select cheat code for the Super NES version is said to refer to "Badla", the nickname of Geir Tjelta, a musician who worked on the game.
