Mutant Mudds Super Challenge (Video Game Review)

Renegade Kid has released Mutant Mudds Super Challenge for consoles and PC.


Mutant Mudds Super Challenge is the latest release from Renegade Kid and continues the fun from the 2012 release, Mutant Mudds. Mutant Mudds Super Challenge has over forty beautifully designed levels and five epic bosses to battle.

If you love side-scrolling platformers, then you are in for a treat with Mutant Mudds Super Challenge which features brand-new platforming challenges and boss fights. There really isn't a lot to the game's story--Max returns to take on the Mudd creatures equipped with his very own secret base this time around. However, the vibrantly colored world and ingeniously designed characters make up for what the game lacks with its brief storyline.

I am a huge fan of classic games and Mutant Mudds Super Challenge's 2D environments and Super Mario Brothers 3 transitions really makes the game fun and enjoyable. Gamers are able to hover, jump and shoot their way through the immersive levels while transitioning between the many backgrounds and foregrounds.

Mutant Mudds Super Challenge has players completing each level while trying to earn bonuses and collect the individual tokens within each stage. Some levels are filled to the brim with dangerous objects to avoid, continuously testing your patience and wit.

The best part of Mutant Mudds Super Challenge is its beautifully composed music that keeps you engaged throughout the entire game. The controls are responsive and fluid making sure that you can jump, hover and shoot to your fullest potential. Each level has you trying your best to collect over a hundred gems while avoiding enemies, spikes and death-defying jumps. If you collect enough gems (sometimes hidden in secret passages) then you can open new levels to explore and bosses to defeat. On another note, utilizing the correct power-ups can help you advance throughout each level with ease.

Mutant Mudds Super Challenge is a fun game that combines some of the best elements from classic platformers for today's gamer. Every level has been immaculately designed with smart placement of checkpoints to keep the game from becoming repetitive and frustrating--which is very important for a game of this nature. Some of the bosses can be extremely annoying, and the game can become very difficult at times, but overall the game still remains enjoyable in the end. If you are a fan of classic side-scrolling platformers, then you will definitely want to check out Mutant Mudds Super Challenge.
