Summary

Playing Felix the Cat feels like stepping into the mischievous world of the classic cartoon, with the feline hero on a mission to rescue his girlfriend Kitty from the mad Professor’s clutches. The NES version lets you bounce across nine distinct worlds, each populated by quirky foes such as moles, tree trunks, cannons, birds, and fish, while eight larger boss monsters guard the path forward. Pressing A makes Felix jump, and a rapid tap turns the jump into a brief flight or swim, while B unleashes an attack that changes as your magic meter rises; a hit drops the meter, and at its lowest point a single strike costs you a life. Health and magic are replenished by scattered items, and falling into a bottomless pit or running out of time also ends a life. The Game Boy port mirrors this formula but trims the level count and runs in monochrome, offering a tighter, handheld experience. Decades later, a 2024 compilation from Konami and Limited Run Games revived both versions on modern consoles with save‑and‑rewind features, earning praise for faithfully translating a beloved license into a solid platformer.

Storyline

In the NES platformer Felix the Cat, you play as the iconic cartoon feline on a rescue mission. Felix must track down the evil mad Professor, who has kidnapped his girlfriend Kitty, and put an end to the villain’s schemes. The game’s simple premise drives the side‑scrolling action as you navigate quirky levels and collect power‑ups. Along the way, Felix uses his magical bag of tricks to overcome obstacles and confront the Professor’s henchmen. The ultimate goal is to defeat the mad Professor and reunite with Kitty.
