How to Play A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia
Quick start
Walk right from the starting street and enter the subway. One screen past the first unreachable treasure, face Blobert, select Punch with Select, and press A to turn him into a hole. Return left and use Licorice to make a ladder for that first treasure, then continue to the red-brick area marked “Sue Baby” and punch through the floor into the caverns. Press B whenever Blobert is stuck or you need to cancel a transformation. Gather enough treasure to buy vitamins before using the Root Beer jellybean; its rocket form carries both characters to Blobolonia and begins the second half.
Controls
D-Pad Left/Right: move the boy. Select: cycle jellybean flavors; hold Down and press Select to cycle in reverse. A: throw the selected jellybean while facing Blobert. B: whistle to call Blobert or return him from a transformation. Start: pause/resume. On the tangerine trampoline, hold Up for higher bounces and Down for lower ones. On Blobolonia, Select chooses vitamin A, B or C for the VitaBlaster and B fires; hold Up to aim straight upward.
A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia — About this game
A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia is an exploration-driven NES puzzle game designed by David Crane. The boy cannot jump or fight normally, so progress depends on feeding Blobert the right jellybean: punch makes a hole, licorice a ladder, tangerine a trampoline, vanilla an umbrella, and other flavors solve later hazards. The pair first search the caverns beneath the city for treasure, spend their proceeds on vitamins, and then use the root beer rocket to reach Blobolonia. There, the vitamins become ammunition against an emperor who has forced the planet to live on sweets.
