Mixels Wiki:Creative Corner/Mixels (1989 video game)

Mixels is a platform video game for the NES. It was published and developed by Media Rainbow Entertainment (of Troy, Michigan) and released in 1989. It was the first Mixels-related video game to be released for any video game console device.

Gameplay
The player initially controls a team of Flain and Krader in the effort to rescue much of the other Mixels from their kidnapper, King Nixel. Before each world, the player can select an alternate team that they can switch into if they find a star-patterned Cubit. The five alternate teams are Teslo and Flurr, Jawg and Kraw, Glomp and Scorpi, and Magnifo and Burnard. Each character has unique abilities relating to their respective tribes.

There are eight worlds in the game, with three levels each: Magma Wastelands, Mine, Mountain City, Frozen Volcanoes, Farmlands, Sproingy Lands (which only has one level), Swamplands, Spiky Desert, Magic Tent (which also has only one level), and Nixels Land. Aiding the player's team is Zaptor and Torts, who will each give the team's characters extra lives for 30 Hamlogna Sandwiches each. The second level in each world concludes with an enclosed area where the characters of the player's team Mix and the player must avoid Major Nixel and exit through the door; if the player is grabbed by Major Nixel, they must start the world over. The third level in each world concludes with a boss battle (each boss is a Nixel villain from the original TV series) that also involves the team's characters Mixing.

Chomly makes a cameo appearance as a secret boss if the number of Hamlogna sandwiches collected in any level is a multiple of eleven. If the player can defeat him without losing one life in the process, three extra lives will be gained.
