Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius

Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius is a 3D action-adventure platform game based on the 2001 Nickelodeon film. Players control Jimmy Neutron and his robotic dog, Goddard, as they travel across several regions to rescue Jimmy’s abducted friends from King Goobot.

Gameplay

The adventure is played from a third-person perspective and combines exploration, platforming, puzzle-solving, combat, and vehicle sections. Jimmy can run, jump, kick, and use inventions including the Shrink Ray, Inflato Ray, and Jimmy Bat. Health can be restored with blueberry pie, while collecting ten neutrons grants an extra life.

Three Goddard vehicles—the Pogo, Sled, and Scooter—help Jimmy traverse the game’s environments. Optional activities include amusement-park mini-games and collectible unlockables such as movie clips, character biographies, shorts, and trailers.
