The main gimmick here is Marina’s ability to shake items and enemies. As Marina you can run left/right, jump, grab items/enemies, and use your rocket boosters to gain momentum in any direction. As I mentioned earlier Mischief Makers is a two dimensional action platformer. It’s a real riot, and it’s one of the wackiest games available on the Nintendo 64. Mischief Makers’ story may sound standard, but it’s full of zany characters and situations. One day Marina is called to action as the inventor who created her is kidnapped by a weird group of aliens called “Clancers.” It’s up to her to save him, and eventually the very world itself. I say ‘android,’ but she’s actually an ‘Ultra Intergalactic Cybot G,’ whatever that means. Mischief Makers puts you in control of an android named Marina. For this review I’m here to tell you why this amazing and widely overlooked title belongs in every serious gamer’s collection. It was not only the first game of its type on the Nintendo 64, but also marks the first Treasure title released on a Nintendo platform. This title was called Mischief Makers, and it failed to get a lot of attention due to the fact that it was a two dimensional side scroller in an age of 3D platform games.
Not only did it bring with it Goldeneye 007 and Mario Kart 64, but also a much lesser known, smaller scale release that just happens to be one of my favorite video games of all time.
1997 was one of the system’s better years. Sure, it had some of the most memorable and greatest games of all time, but the release calendar suffered many of the longest droughts of any system. Owning just a Nintendo 64 was difficult for any regular gamer.
