Play Powerpuff Girls, The - Paint the Townsville Green Online

I picked up Powerpuff Girls, The - Paint the Townsville Green for the Game Boy Color back in 2000. It was developed by Saffire, a studio that worked on a number of licensed games for Nintendo's handheld around that time. This was one of those colorful, straightforward action platformers that felt right at home on the system, aimed squarely at fans of the cartoon.

You control Blossom, Bubbles, or Buttercup, each with slightly different movement and attack styles, as you punch and kick your way through waves of monsters. The main goal is to stop Mojo Jojo from covering the city in green paint, which involves moving screen by screen, defeating all enemies to proceed. You collect ingredients to mix chemical X for power-ups and navigate environmental hazards. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty is manageable but not without some challenge, especially in later stages. It feels like a faithful, energetic extension of the show's chaotic charm.
