Released by Absolute Entertainment in 1989 for the Nintendo Entertainment System, A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia is a puzzle platformer developed by David Crane of Pitfall! fame. It features the adventures of the eponymous hero (the Boy) and his friend Blob (full name Blobert).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 as they race to Blob's home world to defeat the evil emperor.Numerous remakes were rumored since its release, but for twenty years the series consisted of only the original and a 1990 sequel for the Game Boy, The Rescue of Princess Blobette.It was resurrected on the Wii in 2009 by WayForward Technologies as a level-based puzzle platformer. A high-definition port of this game was later released for Windows (via Steam and GOG.com), PlayStation 4, Play Station Vita, and Xbox One on January 19, 2016 and Nintendo Switch in fall 2021. |

Temporary Platform: Small floating platforms will shake and fall when you step on them, but they respawn, too. The final challenge level (1-12) has one room where a basic enemy Blob moves back and forth across a Pressure Plate, toggling between two sets of platforms that are form your only way of crossing a bed of spikes (and a hill). |

comment |
Unwinnable by Design: The game contains a limited number of beans, and using them recklessly can result in running out of something you need, leaving you up a creek without a paddle. Perhaps most notably, there are only two lime beans — you only need one to reach the emperor, but playing as intended you'll expend the other one on learning that it makes the Blob into a key, leaving zero room for making the mistake of trying to unlock anything else. |

A Boy and His X: Just look at the title. After the Boy meets the Blob, they become very good friends thanks to the Blob's love of jellybeans and the help he provides to the Boy navigating the world. There is a dedicated "hug" button, demonstrating their close relationship. When the Blob has a Disney Death the boy is very upset. True to form, the relationship ends with the Blob having to return home alone after all their adventures. |

Food-Based Superpowers: The titular Blob gains shapeshifting powers from eating ordinary jelly beans, and the flavor of bean determines what the Blob will turn into. Most of the transformations are based on wordplay, using Alliteration (Root Beer Rocket), rhyme (Tangerine Trampoline), or even puns (Apple Jack). |

Awesome, but Impractical: The Vitablaster. It's a gun (made by feeding Blob an Orange jellybean) that can be used to kill enemies on Blobonia by shooting them with vitamins. However, doing so puts you at risk of dying and it's far more efficient to just roll the coconut a huge distance into the screen to make them go away. |

Long Song, Short Scene |
| A Boy and His Blob (Video Game) / int_4cefd8a6 |
comment |
Long Song, Short Scene: Done intentionally! There are four very hidden songs found only in the Sound Test (It Makes Sense in Context). Musically, they don't fit the style of the rest of the game. However, they'll sound... familiar to those who've played the original game... |

What happens to the boy if you fail. Picture this scene: A 6-year old boy with no special powers falls 80 feet into a bed of spikes, slumps over, and stops moving. He's obviously dead. Fade to black, reload the checkpoint. |

comment |
Fat Bastard: The Emperor of Bloblonia. In the original game, this was part of the alleged Aesop, because the game had a whole "candy is bad for you" theme and the Emperor was just a sapient blob of fat. In the Wii version, there's no such moral anymore, so he's just your standard big fat jerk. |

comment |
Not Completely Useless: Ketchup-flavored jellybeans have no effect (the Blob hates them), but throwing one when the Blob isn't on the screen causes him to teleport to where it landed. A bit of a Guide Dang It!, since even if you connect the dots on the "ketchup = catch up" wordplay, it's still the only jellybean that you don't feed to Blobert. |

Artificial Stupidity: At least the game is kind enough to note it — When Blob cannot reach the player or seems to be getting stuck, he turns pink (as he turns gray near the enemies). |

Family-Unfriendly Death: The emperor gets punched repeatedly in the skull by a giant robot, while bleeding black goo, and then, when he finally dies, he turns into a roiling mass of blackness as his face TEARS INTO TINY PIECES and he dissolves. Killing the frog mooks by having the blob change from his coconut form to his basic form while inside it. What happens to the boy if you fail. Picture this scene: A 6-year old boy with no special powers falls 80 feet into a bed of spikes, slumps over, and stops moving. He's obviously dead. Fade to black, reload the checkpoint. |

It's only the end of Level 4-8! Why are we back in World 1?Wait, did someone tape ''two more levels'' to the end of the map? Oh, Crap!... The achievements in the rerelease in particular spoil the fact that World 4 has only 8 levels, while World 1 has 12. |

Cutting the Knot |
| A Boy and His Blob (Video Game) / int_c2299d6e |
comment |
Cutting the Knot: A bit of outside-the-box thinking and strategic bean usage can allow the player to completely bypass certain puzzles. For example, one room in World 2 has a giant blob monster blocking the way forward, and the game guides the player towards pushing a rock off of a high ledge, pushing it onto a ramp that can be lifted up with the jack, then dropping it down to break a hole in the floor that allows the player to get underneath the giant blob monster and use the jack to lift it up and crush it against the ceiling. Or the player can just notice that the ledge the rock spawns on extends right over the giant blob, create a hole and push the rock through it to crush the enemy that way. |

The "grand prize" for completing the T-rex set of Challenge Levels in World 2 is an orb that you can use to turn the lights off and play any level in this manner if you want. |

Cranium Ride: You can ride on certain enemies if you drop an anvil on their heads, which allows you to safely ride them. |

Anti-Frustration Features: Calling Blob three times will cause the Boy to whistle instead, which makes the Blob instantly turn into a balloon so it can reach you. |

Helpful Mook: Although they can still kill you, you can drop Anvil Blob on large enemy Blobs (and the small cannonball ones) to go on a Cranium Ride of sorts. The large ones will also happily toss your Cola Bubble around to help cover large distances. Enemy blobs can also weigh down pressure plates (especially the Enemy Clone blobs) and set off the exploding blobs that hover in midair. |

The absolutely beautiful opening levels are as lovely and as soothing as can be, full of fireflies and gently swaying trees... until you hit Level 1-10. "This music sounds... different. Everything's so red! I've got a bad feeling about this... HOLY CRAP OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING!?" |
