Okay, maybe there is not much to her, but short-changed or not, it is all we get. Being an android, she has several useful abilities, such as wave dashes, enhanced strength, and a strange urge to shake everything. A perverted old man named Professor Theo is kidnapped by a group of strange creatures, and it is up to his creation, Marina, to come save him. Therefore, we get a 'save-the-day' style adventure, which we are all too well aware of. Using classic anime style visuals and a straight-forward storyline, Mischief Makers spends no time dabbling in an unnecessary plot. From top to bottom, the formula seems meticulous, however, several jagged edges assist in giving this forgotten game a rather empty persona. Also, known for their work on popular games like: Gunstar Heroes and Ikargua. On top of my excitement to find such a unique game, there was even more to be mounted by the fact the developer was Treasure. The Nintendo 64 was the epitome of overlooked titles, and Mischief Makers was one of them. The territory I am speaking of is the world of the two-dimensional side-scroller. In a world where three dimensional adventures were emerging, one secluded title managed to stand foothold in forgotten territory. However, it is not too often that a platform title takes on the image of a japanimation-esque image, and it sounded way too intriguing to miss. Those that happen to wonder upon such statements, consider it a farce.
