This is complemented by recognisable backgrounds and game modes that make reference to the shows content. It captures the cartoon essence perfectly and the character models are instantly recognisable. This game even on the handheld hardware looks great in it’s pixel art style. The one saving grace is the games aesthetic.

Making many players approach the game flawed, the action boring and repetitive and any challenge basically absent. The overpowered nature of some attacks renders many others pointless. Then to top this off, a number of attacks clearly offer easy wins if repeated. Combos are rarely accessible and the frequency of counters to attacks present is slim to none. The attacks are unvaried with only a handful of things that a character can do to win their bouts. Plus the fairness and challenge that is present. Why these games tend to succeed or fail relies on the tactics, functions and combos that are on offer. Although it does seem like a wasted opportunity. It’s a fun one for the fans and offers some positional advantages. Though where this falls down is the symbiotic controls that these characters share, meaning that this inclusion is more of a shallow inclusion than a game-changing mechanic.

Something that is seldom seen in fighters on a 2D plain. These allow you to attack through them or through your human avatar. However, the way this title sets itself apart is through the Mamados. Players will only be able to deal damage to other human characters. This handheld fighter has it’s most unique offering through borrowing from the source material.
