Stone Protectors was a toy line and a short-lived animated series that seemed to try to take advantage of the popularity of Troll Dolls at the time. Troll Dolls have a long history and are popular even today. Stone Protectors not so much.
Like many other toy lines that became cartoons (or vice versa), this one also became a video game. It was released by Kemco for the Super Nintendo in 1994. Also, like many others (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles being a big exception) it isn’t terribly good. The game was a side-scrolling beat ’em up that had decent graphics but poor animation and control.
A Sega Genesis version was also completed by Vic Tokai but never officially released. I don’t really know why but I can only guess that after the animated series was cancelled and the toy line didn’t do so well that they determined it wasn’t worth the cost of production. The ROM has since been leaked and can be find in the wild on the net.
