Play Dennis the Menace Online

Summary

The Game Boy port of *Dennis the Menace* (simply called *Dennis* in Europe) turns the 1993 film into a brisk platform adventure. Dennis dashes, jumps and brawls through 16 stages split among six distinct zones – from Mr. Wilson’s house and the spooky forest to the sewers, an adventure park, the school and the final boiler room – all in pursuit of Switchblade Sam and the stolen loot.

Health is shown by hearts; a hit costs a heart and briefly stuns Dennis, while scattered candy fully restores him. Each level grants 999 seconds (about 16.7 minutes) and hides five large coins plus two friendly characters; collecting everything unlocks the ending.

The title earned a solid 85/100 from Joypad GB, marking it as a memorable handheld take on the mischievous hero’s cinematic romp.

Storyline

He must save his pals Joey and Margaret and recover Mr. Wilson’s prized coin collection, all of which have been stolen by the nefarious burglar Switchblade Sam. The plot drives Dennis through a series of side‑scrolling levels as he chases the crook and frees his friends. The simple premise packs classic platforming action into the handheld’s limited screen.
