Mr. Nutz is a platform game developed by Ocean Software for a variety of video games platforms including the Sega Mega Drive in 1994. The Mega Drive version was only phisically released in Europe and Australia, though it did see a Sega Channel release in North America circa 1995. TV sports at the time of release placed the game as a competing product against both Sonic and Mario.

A sequel, titled Mr. Nutz: Hoppin' Mad was released for the Amiga in the following months. It was planned for release on the Sega Mega Drive under the name of Mr. Nutz 2 but was ultimately scrapped despite reportedly being finished (and sent to various magazines for review). Uncompiled source code of the game was leaked in 2009 and compiled into a playable build in 2012.

Story

The Yeti, a gruesome beast with an icicle for a heart and bad breath, is making the world colder in an attempt to create a new and permanent ice age that he will rule over. Only Mr. Nutz can make it past the Yeti's many henchmen and defeat the Yeti himself in a fight to the finish.

Gameplay

Mr. Nutz is a standard platformer where the end of the stage has to be reached in order to clear it. Controls can be customized at the options screen, though the default controls are as follows: B is for jumping; A and C attack; running can be automatic or toggled by a button. Standing attacks make Mr. Nutz throw acorns (limited amount), while crouching attacks are tail swipes (unlimited use). Genre-typical gimmicks such as moving platforms, locked doors etc. are used a lot.

The game uses a password system to record progress. The game is very long for a platformer, requiring over an hour for a standard playthrough. Score isn't saved through passwords, so gameplay focusing on score requires the player to clear the game in one sitting.
