Jelly Boy puts the player in the control of a jelly baby with morphing powers. His quest is to find various items inside a factory so that the elevator doorman will allow him to meet the person in charge. The most important items are musical notes, which serve both as an extra life (at 100 notes) as well as a one-hit shield (after a collision, the notes are lost, and further collisions result in death).
The game was a Super Famicom PAL version, and was planned for release in October 1994 on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, but was delayed.[2] A Sega Genesis version was cancelled.[3] In July 2021, Jelly Boy was added to the Nintendo Switch Online classic games service.[4]
