Kid Klown in Night Mayor World Overview
Kid Klown in Night Mayor World is a side scrolling platformer where the player character must navigate a series of stages. The central conflict begins when the magician Night Mayor, after being refused help, kidnaps Kid Klown's circus performing family, forcing a rescue mission into the villain's own realm.
Gameplay revolves around the versatile use of balloons, which serve as the primary tool for both offense and navigation. These can be thrown at enemies, used as temporary platforms for jumping, or held onto for a floating descent. The stages contain various collectible items that affect gameplay, such as health restorations, extra lives, and temporary invincibility granted by lightning bolts.
Certain items, marked by question marks, produce random effects that can be beneficial or detrimental, such as temporarily reversing control inputs. Collecting strawberries during a stage influences a subsequent bonus round, where the player uses a limited number of balloons to win items. The game's structure is fair, alternating between standard platforming levels and these chance based bonus games.
