Felix the Cat is a platform action game based on the 1959 cartoon film rather than the comic strip. This is a 1992 platform video game developed by Shimada Kikaku and published by Hudson Soft for the NES, and published by Electro Brain on the Game Boy. It was released in North America and in European territories. A Japanese release was planned, but was unreleased.
You play as Felix who is trying to rescue his girlfriend, Kitty.
The game is a standard platformer where the goal is to reach the end of each level and defeat the boss at the end of each world. Hearts can be gathered to upgrade Felix's current weapon. If Felix is hit while holding an upgraded transformation, he reverts to the one before it. If Felix is hit while holding the standard weapon, he loses a life. Felix can also lose a life by falling into a bottomless pit or by running out of time.
Felix Heads are scattered throughout the levels. Collecting five of them will drop milk bottles, which will restore power and grant points. Collecting 10 of them will drop a heart. Giant magic bags are scattered throughout the levels, which can be entered by pressing Down on the directional pad. These bags house Felix Heads.
At the end of each world, a boss from the Felix the Cat television cartoons is faced. Defeating this boss allows Felix to move on to the next world.
