In Mischief Makers, you play the role of a robotic maid named Marina who is trying to rescue her kidnapped creator from an evil emperor. To do so, Marina must shake, smash, slide, throw, jump, dash, and ride her way through 60 side-scrolling stages in five different worlds. As you guide Marina through the game, you will need to collect gems to gain life and continues, utilize weapons, talk to various people, and destroy all enemies who get in your way. Unlike most 2-D platformers, Mischief Makers challenges players to use their heads to avoid obstacles and solve puzzles.
