Play Kid Klown in Night Mayor World Online

Kid Klown in Night Mayor World came out on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1992, a Kemco release that landed in the later years of the console's life. It was part of that wave of platformers trying to stand out with a unique gimmick, a time when developers were still finding new things to do with the hardware.

You control a young circus performer, Kid Klown, whose main weapon is an endless supply of balloons. You throw them to defeat enemies, but they also serve as temporary platforms you can bounce on to reach higher areas, or you can hold one to float gently down a long shaft. The goal is to rescue your kidnapped friend from the Night Mayor by navigating through six themed worlds, each a series of single-screen stages you must clear of enemies. The pace is fast and the difficulty can spike unexpectedly, especially in later levels where precision with your balloon placement is crucial. It feels like a constant, cheerful scramble where your primary tool is also your greatest liability.
