X-Men: Mojo World is an action game for the Sega Game Gear and Sega Master System, based upon the X-Men comics. The Game Gear version was exclusive to North America, while the Master System version was exclusive to Brazil.

Internally the game was referred to as X-Men 3, being a successor to X-Men: GamesMaster's Legacy.

Story

X-Men

Spiral, a beautiful, six-armed television producer and denizen of Mojo World, pits the X-Men against their all-time toughest foes in a televised slugfest, The Greatest Battles of the X-Men.

Gameplay

The game is a side-scrolling action platformer played as the superhero team the X-Men. Two characters are initially available, but more become unlocked as the player completes levels. The player can choose which character to play before each level (though, unlike previous entries, the player cannot choose the order in which to play the levels). There are two difficulty levels: "Maniac" (the easier option), and "Suicidal" (the harder option).

Characters move with and and crouch with . They can move while crouched with and . They attack with and jump with . Characters can double jump by pressing again in midair. The player can toggle the character's mutant ability by tapping  START , which replaces the character's regular attack. Using mutant abilities drains the mutant power bar. Rogue can fly using mutant power (instead of double jumping) by pressing again in midair and using the D-Pad to move around.

The player can pause the game by holding  START ; pressing while the game is paused returns to the level hub, allowing the player to change the character (but restarting the level).

Characters have a health bar that goes down when they take damage from enemies or other hazards (including high falls). If a character loses all health, the character is lost for the rest of the game and the player must restart the level with a different character. Falling down bottomless pits restarts the level from the beginning instead of costing the character. The game ends if the player loses every character.

Characters

Wolverine and Rogue are initially selectable, but a new character is rescued and becomes available to play after each level is completed.

	Wolverine
	Wolverine can shred opponents with his adamantium claws. Unlike the other characters, his power bar continuously drains while his mutant power is activated, even if he is not using an ability. He passively regenerates his health.
	Rogue
	Rogue can fly and possesses super strength. She has more health and power than the other characters. She and Wolverine are the only characters without ranged attacks.
	Gambit
	Gambit wields a quarterstaff, which is relatively weak but has good reach. His mutant power is throwing kinetically charged playing cards. He becomes available after completing the New Orleans level.
	Cyclops
	Cyclops can fire optic blasts from his eyes. He can fire in any direction. However, he has less health than other characters, and he is more vulnerable to falls. He becomes available after completing the Cape Citadel level.
	Havok
	Havok shoots energy blasts. He becomes available after completing the Sentinel Factory level.
	Shard
	Shard shoots energy blasts. She becomes available after completing the Future New York City level.

Items

	Heart
	Replenishes part of the character's health.
	Power
	Restores part of the character's mutant power.
