Play It's Mr. Pants Online
You drag and drop these weird pants-shaped blocks to form rectangles, trying not to get boxed in while Mr. Pants himself struts around in increasingly ridiculous underwear.
Rare released It's Mr. Pants for the Game Boy Advance in 2005, a puzzle game that stood out for its sheer absurdity in an era dominated by more traditional platformers and RPGs. It felt like a strange, wonderful secret tucked between the bigger titles, a game that didn't take itself seriously at all.
You control a wobbly, dancing pair of pants named Mr. Pants, whose only goal is to clear the screen of wiggling, colored "pantaloons" by dragging and dropping them to form solid rectangles. The core mechanics involve careful placement to create the largest shapes possible, which then vanish with a satisfying pop; you must also manage the constant, jiggling movement of the pieces and the encroaching "Wigglies" that can trap you. The pacing is frantic, demanding quick decisions as the screen fills up, and the difficulty ramps up in a way that feels fair but always tense. It feels like trying to solve a jigsaw puzzle while someone is actively shaking the table.
