-{{sub-stub}}'''''Jelly Boy''''' is an unreleased [[Sega Mega Drive]] platform game. It was developed by [[Probe Software]] with the aim of being published by [[Ocean Software]] in February 1995. [[Electronic Arts]] are also credited.
+{{mainArticle|{{PAGENAME}}/Magazine articles}}
-''Jelly Boy'' on the Mega Drive was almost complete when it was axed for unknown reasons. Development is presumed to have taken place around 1994/1995 - a Game Boy version saw a release in PAL territories in 1994, with a similar Super Nintendo version being released in early 1995. No versions of the game have ever been released outside of PAL regions.
+==Promotional material==
+{{mainArticle|{{PAGENAME}}/Promotional material}}
-It is entirely unrelated to another Super Nintendo game, ''Jelly Boy 2'' which also wound up being cancelled - ''Jelly Boy 2'' is actually a sequel to the Super Nintendo game ''Jerry Boy'', known as ''Smart Ball'' outside of Japan.
-It is unknown why ''Jelly Boy'' was cancelled. Review copies were sent to the gaming press and a fully playable prototype has since been dumped and released online.
