Gameplay

Jelly Boy puts the player in the control of a jelly baby with morphing powers. His quest is to find various items inside a factory so that the elevator doorman will allow him to meet the person in charge. The most important items are musical notes, which serve both as an extra life as well as a one-hit shield.

The game was a Super Famicom PAL version, and was planned for release in October 1994 on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, but was delayed. A Sega Genesis version was cancelled. In July 2021, Jelly Boy was added to the Nintendo Classics service.

Reception

In 1995, Total! ranked Jelly Boy 73rd on their Top 100 SNES Games writing: "On the surface this platformer seems basic but the challenge is big and it’s strangely gripping."
