Mick & Mack as the Global Gladiators (USA) (Proto) (1993-07-09)

In Mick & Mack as the Global Gladiators, players take on the role of one of the two main characters, Mick or Mack, brave environmental warriors. This is a unique platformer with an ecological theme, where your mission is to combat pollution and cleanse the planet.

The storyline revolves around a world threatened by severe pollution, and Mick and Mack are tasked with its rescue. Their primary weapon is a special "goo gun," used to neutralize creatures mutated by pollution and harmful environmental machines. Gameplay requires players to navigate through levels designed around heavily polluted environments, from ravaged forests and trash-filled cities to factories spewing toxic fumes.

Each level features various obstacles and enemies, demanding agility in jumping, dodging, and attacking. Players need to collect power-ups such as environmental tokens for points or health restoration. Furthermore, avoiding hazards like toxic waste, spikes, or contaminated water is crucial for survival. At the end of each major area, there is typically a boss, which are giant creatures or machines formed from pollution, requiring specific strategies to defeat. This NES prototype version offers a rare glimpse into a game that was never officially released on this console, potentially featuring differences in graphics and sound compared to versions on other platforms.
