Widget: The World Watcher or Widget for short, it is an Action Platform Game based on the cartoon of the same name by Atlus for the NES in 1992.You control Widget, the titular shape-shifting alien, through four different action stages as he takes on enemies and criminals from the show. Widget is normally armed with a ray gun to battle enemies, which can be upgraded with power ups that increase its shot speed and power. By clearing stages, you unlock different transformations that can be used to access different pathways in other levels. Widget's sidekick Mega-Brain will lend a hand offering tips and ideas on the adventure.A follow up game, Super Widget was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993. |

Jekyll & Hyde: During the battle with Dr. Dante, he will switch between his "Jekyll" and "Hyde" forms, his docile form is immune to all damage, but can still hurt you. You can only hurt Dr. Dante when he switches to his evil chaotic persona. |

Voluntary Shapeshifting: Subverted. In the NES game Widget can only transform and shapeshift if he unlocks one of his transformations by defeating the bosses. In SNES, he transforms by collecting powerups. |

comment |
Cool, but Inefficient: The only thing Widget can turn into at the start of the game is a cannon. It can't move except to jump, though, and its shots are powerful but its range is extremely short. All the forms that do something useful have to be earned by beating a boss. |

Everything Trying to Kill You: Most of the enemies Widget encounters contradict canon. These include of birds, apples, snakes, bats, alligators, lizards, crabs, sea urchins, clams...basically creatures Widget is trying to save in the first place. Most of the enemies in Flim & Flam's stage don't count as they seem to be their contraptions, nor do Ratchet's stage enemies as they clearly look like his henchmen. |
