Felix the Cat (1993). Play online

Summary

Felix the Cat on Game Boy brings the beloved cartoon into a bite‑size, monochrome platform adventure. The Japanese‑developed title never saw a domestic launch, arriving only in North America and Europe. Players guide the titular feline through nine distinct worlds, though the handheld version trims the level count compared with its NES counterpart.

Controls are deliberately straightforward: the A button jumps, with a rapid press letting Felix glide or swim, while B fires a magic‑charged attack that changes as the cat’s power meter depletes. Scattered hearts refill health and magical icons boost the attack level, and a fall into a bottomless pit or a timeout instantly costs a life.

A quirky roster of enemies—from tunneling moles to swinging cannons—provides predictable patterns that reward timing. In 2024 Konami revived both the NES and Game Boy versions together in a retro anthology for Switch and PlayStation consoles, giving new players a chance to experience the classic side‑scroller.

Storyline

In the Game Boy title Felix the Cat, you take control of the iconic feline hero on a rescue mission. Felix learns that his girlfriend Kitty has been snatched by the evil mad Professor, a mad scientist bent on chaos. Determined, Felix journeys through a series of side‑scrolling levels, confronting the Professor’s bizarre traps and minions. Each stage brings him closer to the Professor’s lair, where the final showdown awaits. The game’s simple premise drives the classic platforming action.
