Released in 1989 for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]], '''''A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia''''' (yep, that really is the game's subtitle), features the adventures of our eponymous hero (the Boy) and his friend Blob (full name Blobert) as they race to Blob's home world to defeat the evil emperor.
The main draw of this [[Platform Game|platforming game]] (which was created by David Crane of ''[[Pitfall]]'' fame) is that Blob has the uncanny ability to change into different shapes/objects depending on what type of jellybean the boy feeds him. From licorice to ketchup, each flavor turns Blob into a different shape, allowing the boy to overcome obstacles and complete each level.
Line 9:
It was finally resurrected on the Wii by [[Way Forward Technologies]], makers of ''[[Shantae]]'' and a bunch of licensed stuff, as a level-based puzzle platformer. The 2 main characters among with others were redesigned too.

=== Both games provide examples of: ===
* [[Alliteration]]: Those jellybean names that ''aren't'' [[Incredibly Lame Pun|pun-tastic]] tend to be these. Both games have the Licorice Ladder and Tangerine Trampoline.
Line 44 ⟶ 46:
* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]: The "Apple" flavored beans turn Blobert into a ''jack.''
** This is far from the only pun among the jellybean effects, of course.
=== The 1989 game and [[Game Boy]] sequel provide examples of: ===
* [[American Kirby Is Hardcore]]: When the NES game was released in Japan, the Boy and the title screen were changed to look "cuter".
