Gameplay
Jelly Boy puts the player in the control of a jelly baby with morphing powers. His quest is to find various items inside a factory so that the elevator doorman will allow him to meet the person in charge. The most important items are musical notes, which serve both as an extra life (at 100 notes) as well as a one-hit shield (after a collision, the notes are lost, and further collisions result in death).
Release
The game was planned for release on October 1994 on the Super Nintendo, but was delayed. A Sega Genesis version was cancelled. In July 2021, Jelly Boy was added to the Nintendo Switch Online classic games service.
