Incredible Crash Dummies, The (USA)

The Incredible Crash Dummies is a side-scrolling platformer action game for the NES, where players take control of one of the famous crash test dummies, Slick or Spin. The main objective of the game is to thwart the evil plot of Dr. Zub, who seeks to destroy the world's entire supply of crash test dummies.

The gameplay of The Incredible Crash Dummies focuses on navigating through various levels, from dummy manufacturing plants to secret laboratories, collecting items, and avoiding hazards. The most unique aspect of the game is the dummies' ability to "dismember." When attacked or hit hard, the dummy's arms, legs, or head can detach. Players need to collect these body parts to restore the dummy to its complete state; otherwise, movement or attack capabilities will be limited.

Throughout the game, players will utilize various tools and special abilities to overcome challenges. For instance, the dummy can use a wrench to repair mechanisms or springs to jump higher. Each level features different enemies, ranging from robotic guards to dangerous machines designed to destroy dummies. Players must use basic attacks or picked-up items to defeat them.

The game also features boss battles at the end of each area, requiring players to discover their weaknesses to defeat them. The game's graphics have a cartoonish style, fitting the humorous yet challenging theme. The music and sound effects also contribute to a unique and memorable gaming experience on the NES.
