The Twisted Tales Of Felix The Cat

The Twisted Tales Of Felix The Cat is a 1996 platformer developed by Hudson Soft and published by Konami, it is based on the TV show based on the same name, it's a slight sequel to the NES/Game Boy game "Felix The Cat"

Gameplay
Felix can only take two hits before dying (first hit makes him lose his magic bag, forcing him to fight bare-handed, second hit is an instant death), to make up with the weaker health, Felix always has access to all of his abilities (as long as he doesn't get hit)

Abilities

 * Boxing Glove - Does great damage, hold to charge for an uppercut that does greater damage
 * Magic - Same with the Magic from the NES game, except Felix can summon the 8 stars even while walking
 * Motorcycle - Being fast enough damages enemies instead of the motorcycle, if damaged, it explodes while leaving Felix alive

Stages and Bosses

 * Stage 1 - City (Boss: Unnamed Rooster drawn by Skidoo)
 * Stage 2 - Guardian Idiot (Boss: Meat Grinder)

Endings

 * Good Ending (just beat the game, no special objectives) -
 * Bad Ending (lose all your lives at Stage 9 or 10 and have used 3 continues after clearing Stage 8) - Peking Duck just appears, then grabs the magic bag of the now-unconsious Felix, then celebrates his victory and plans to do with his newfound slaves, credits roll, you can't continue when you lost your last life if the requirement is met and the limited continues takes effect after you have cleared Stage 8, A second player can join-in, except for the final boss)

 * Total: 82/100 (A-)
 * Difficulty: 5 (Advanced)
 * Average Length: 60-80 minutes

Main

 * One Hit Point Wonder: Felix is this, like the NES game that this game is a sequel to.
 * Point Of No Continues: Downplayed, once you have beaten stage 8, you only get to continue three (more) times before you get the bad ending.
 * Single-Use Shield: The magic bag is this, fortunately, you begin each new life with this.

Trivia

 * What Could Have Been: A 2.5D Remake of this game for the Nintendo DS was reconsidered, Konami asked Don Oriolo to ask for license for the show, but he denied it, leading Konami to reformulate it to a Pop'n Music platformer spin-off.

YMMV

 * Sequel Difficulty Spike: It's definitely harder than the 1992 Felix The Cat game, for some reasons
 * The maximum amount of hits Felix can take at any time is two (as opposed to three or four with the 1992 game), the first hit forces him to fight bare-handed
