The Itchy & Scratchy Game is a platformer released in 1994 for the Sega Mega Drive. Players control the characters Itchy and Scratchy, navigating through various levels filled with obstacles and enemies. The main objective is to progress by defeating foes and overcoming environmental challenges to reach the end of each stage.
The gameplay maintains a steady pace typical of platformers from the era, combining action and timing to succeed. A unique mechanic involves switching between the two characters, each with distinct abilities that must be utilized strategically to solve level puzzles and defeat opponents. This character-switching element adds depth to the platforming experience.
One unusual idea in the game is its incorporation of the violent and slapstick humor found in the original Itchy & Scratchy cartoons, which translates into exaggerated attacks and animated sequences. The game’s distinctive visual style closely mirrors the chaotic and cartoonish nature of its source material, setting it apart from other platformers on the Sega Mega Drive.
