Post- 1994 Computer Game- Powerpuff Girls: Battle Him




So who remembers the Powerpuff Girls? They were the three little crime fighting kindergarten girls made of sugar, spice, and everything nice! They were hot, I mean come on they had a cartoon and a few video games out. The game in particular that I am analyzing today is the Powerpuff Girls: Battle Him. I chose this game because this is another one of the few games that I actually played. I think my mother bought this game for me, which went with my Gameboy Color system (yes, this was popping way before the PSP came out)!

So, yeah this game was about Bubbles (the one in the blue dress) fighting Him (the red villian, who look resembles the devil). It is only appropriate that the game starts with the Powerpuff Girls theme song as the title, credits, and backstory comes up. Once the game begins like a "kick butt" background sound comes on which kind of gets me hyped and ready to fight. As Bubbles passes (frees) a citizen the citizen saids "Thank you." When battling a villian, either Bubbles of the criminal will say "Ouch!" when hit.  A bling or chime noise is made when Bubbles collects a charm, such as a heart, card, or bottle. Unfortunately, when Bubble's dies she screams. The music speeds up as Bubbles advances and gets closer to the  villian. I was only able to find the first level of the game on youtube and well I haven't played the game in so long, so that's all the sound analysis I have. (I would like to add that even though the sound effects are simple, they are an upgrade from the computerized noises from Spike).
