Overview and Gameplay
Ickis, Oblina, and Krumm take the Gromble’s Monster Academy exam in this SNES platform game based on Nickelodeon’s animated series. The trio moves through human-world locations, hunts for assigned prizes, throws trash at enemies, and scares selected victims to earn a better grade.
Progression is level based, with areas such as the dump, school, post office, museum, mall, and monster hunter’s house. The game uses team movement: one monster leads while the others follow, and each character has a special Triple Monster Move for navigation or puzzle solving.
Controls And Mechanics
- Move, crouch, climb, jump, and throw trash while guiding the monster trio through hazards and enemies.
- Ickis, Oblina, and Krumm can be switched when the group is together on level ground.
- Monster Manuals power scare attacks, so scares are limited rather than a basic unlimited attack.
- The game is single-player only, with no verified two-player, versus, or co-op mode.
Release And Credits
- European SNES release: 1996.
- Developer: Realtime Associates.
- Publisher: Viacom New Media.
- Based on the Nickelodeon series created by Klasky Csupo.
