Play M.C Kids Online

Summary

M.C. Kids drops you into the wacky world of McDonaldland, where the Hamburglar has swiped Ronald’s magic bag and only the two bright‑eyed kids, Mick and Mack, can retrieve it. You’ll dash through seven sprawling stages, ducking, jumping and hurling blocks at quirky foes like Goferit and I. Psycho, while also mastering a spin‑device that flips the screen upside‑down and reverses gravity—a mechanic that even inspired the game’s iconic upside‑down ad featuring creator Darren Bartlett. Hidden zippers let you warp within a level, and a versatile boat can be both ridden and carried, adding a playful twist to the platforming formula. Critics praised these inventive features, giving the NES version solid scores (GamePro 4.6/5, Nintendo Life 6/10) despite noting a few uneven difficulty spikes, and the game even spawned an unofficial “MC Mario” hack that swaps the kids for Mario’s classic sprites.

Storyline

The NES platformer M.C. Kids (often just called McKids) opens with brothers Mick and Mack reading a storybook about Ronald McDonald showing off his magical bag at a picnic. The Hamburglar swoops in, snatches the bag, and the twins set off to recover it, first hunting for four puzzle cards outside Ronald’s clubhouse. Ronald then points them toward Birdie’s treehouse, where they locate five more cards before learning the thief was seen near the cliffs.

Following Birdie’s clue, Mick and Mack trek to Grimace’s loft in the Highlands, finding three of his puzzle cards and earning a path to the Professor’s workshop. The Professor equips them with a rocket and hands over five of his own cards, then sends them to the moon to meet CosMc at his lunar hideout. CosMc tasks the brothers with retrieving five moon‑based cards and hints that the Hamburglar may be hiding in a volcano.

Armed with all the collected cards, the duo brave the volcano’s fiery depths, confront the Hamburglar, and discover the Magic Bag has escaped. After securing the bag’s six cards, they battle the bag itself as it launches a flag, a wand, and a rabbit‑in‑a‑hat. Defeating the bag restores it to Ronald, ending the adventure on a triumphant note.
