Felix the Cat is a classic side-scrolling platformer released for the NES in 1992 by Hudson Soft. Players guide the iconic cartoon feline on a global rescue mission to save his girlfriend Kitty from the evil Professor. The game is celebrated for its inventive magic bag mechanic, allowing Felix to transform into various vehiclesโlike a tank, submarine, or hot air balloonโby collecting magic symbols throughout the vibrant, diverse levels.
How to Play
The objective is to reach the end of each stage before the timer runs out, defeating enemies and boss characters along the way. Collect magic bags to upgrade Felix’s magic level and unlock new, powerful forms. In the browser, the NES controls are mapped as follows: use the Arrow Keys to move, Z to jump (A button), X to attack or use magic (B button), Enter for Start, and Shift for Select.
Tips
- Keep collecting Felix tokens: Grabbing 10 tokens spawns a magic heart. Collecting hearts upgrades your magic form and extends the duration of your current transformation.
- Watch your magic meter: Every transformation consumes magic power over time and when taking damage. Collect milk bottles to replenish it before you revert to a weaker form.
- Explore everywhere: Use your flight or swimming forms to reach high areas and hidden paths, which often contain extra lives or large clusters of tokens.
