Play Dexter's Laboratory Online

Dexter's Laboratory for the Game Boy Color came out in 2001, developed by Vicarious Visions. It was one of many licensed platformers on the system, based on the popular Cartoon Network show. You step into Dexter's oversized shoes, navigating through his lab and beyond to stop his rival Mandark.

You control Dexter through side scrolling levels, jumping on platforms and avoiding hazards. The main goal is to progress through each stage, defeating enemies and solving environmental puzzles. Signature mechanics include using Dexter's inventions, like a shrink ray to miniaturize foes or a rocket pack for limited flight. The game can feel hectic, with Dee Dee often intruding to complicate things. It captures the show's energy through constant action and cartoonish challenges.
