The Incredible Crash Dummies is a 2D side-scrolling action-platformer released for the SNES in 1993, based on the popular Tyco toyline. You take control of Slick the Crash Dummy as he sets out to rescue his friend Spin and stop the evil Junkman. The game stands out with its unique damage system, where taking hits causes Slick to lose his arms or legs. You must quickly find replacement parts scattered throughout the levels to restore your abilities before being completely dismantled.
How to play
Your objective is to guide Slick safely through various hazardous environments and vehicle test tracks. Use the D-pad (arrow keys) to move, press B (Z key) to jump, and press Y (A key) to attack or use items. During the driving stages, steer carefully to avoid walls and obstacles that will instantly total your vehicle.
Tips
- Protect your limbs: Losing your arms prevents you from attacking, and losing your legs drastically reduces your jumping height. Prioritise collecting screwdrivers to repair yourself.
- Watch your speed: In the driving sections, going too fast makes it difficult to react to upcoming hazards. Proceed cautiously to keep your vehicle intact.
- Collect wrenches: Gather the wrenches scattered across the stages to increase your score and earn extra lives, which are essential for completing the later levels.
