When hit by an enemy, Gadget's clothing falls off, leaving him wearing only [[boxer shorts]]. The next hit causes Gadget to lose a life. Gadget's niece, Penny, and her dog, Brain, will assist Gadget during the game. Various gadgets than can be used included a helicopter rotor, a grabbing hand, some arrows, and an extending [[boxing glove]]. The upper case font used in this game is the [[Joystix|same one]] used for [[Pac-Man]], [[Space Invaders]], and other [[video game]]s of the 1980s. However, the lower case font used is original and was not used in any previous video games. ==Plot== Something to note in this game is that Brain helps Gadget with only very minor tasks. Gadget is actually [[self-awareness|self-aware]] and fights the Mad Agents using a slapstick level of violence found in most children's video games during that era. At the end of every level except the sixth one, Dr. Claw would send a robotic claw arm attached to a chair (similar to the one Gadget "arrests" in the cartoon's opening) with some type of device aiding it. The levels are based on actual places from the television series. They are: [[Dracula's Castle]], Clock Maker's clock tower in [[Switzerland]], a [[Amazon Rainforest|South American jungle]], King Tutonpoot's [[Egyptian pyramids|tomb]] in [[Egypt]] and Dr. Claw's Winterland Castle. At the end of the last level, Dr. Claw escapes into an [[airship]]. But before going inside, he turns toward the player and his face is partly invisible. The player must destroy the ship so that he can proceed to fight Dr. Claw in his robot [[Mecha|mech]]. After the fight, Claw would retreat and Gadget would save Penny from falling out of the ship. Chief Quimby would send Gadget a note informing Gadget that Dr. Claw had captured him after Penny was rescued. ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== *{{moby game|id=/inspector-gadget|name=''Inspector Gadget''}} {{Inspector Gadget}} [[Category:1993 video games]] [[Category:Cancelled Nintendo Entertainment System games]] [[Category:Hudson Soft games]] [[Category:Inspector Gadget video games]] [[Category:Super Nintendo Entertainment System games]] [[Category:Super Nintendo Entertainment System-only games]] [[Category:Video games set in Egypt]] [[Category:Video games set in Europe]] [[Category:Video games set in South America]] {{action-videogame-stub}}
