Play Pinocchio (Europe) on gb Online

Kemco released Pinocchio for the Game Boy in 1996, a time when handheld adaptations of Disney films were fairly common. It stands out as a side-scrolling platformer that captures the look and feel of the movie without relying on big name recognition.

You control Pinocchio through a series of levels, jumping across platforms and avoiding enemies like puppets and carnival hazards. The main goal is to rescue Geppetto from inside the whale, which involves navigating through themed stages such as Pleasure Island and Stromboli's caravan. One signature mechanic is the growing nose, which extends when you take damage and can be reset by finding certain items. Another is the screen by screen exploration, where each area presents distinct obstacles and occasional hidden paths. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty can spike unexpectedly in later stages. Playing it feels like a condensed, hands-on retelling of the story through simple but engaging actions.
