The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy is a fighting game based on the television series of the same name. It was developed by High Voltage Software and published by Midway. The Playstation 2 version's DVD compatibility feature came with behind the scenes footage and the season one episode Little Rock of Horror. The game was released on many Nintendo consoles in the United States, but only on the Wii in the United Kingdom.

Storyline

When Grim's Mojo Balls get unleashed into the city, causing normal people to senselessly fight each other (anyone touched by a Mojo Ball will be infected by supernatural rage, according to Grim), it's up to Billy, Mandy, Grim, and Irwin to save the world. They trek through places from their episodes such as Asgard, the pumpkin patch, even Billy's backyard. In the end, it turns out that Billy is to blame for the release of the Mojo Balls (he wanted to free Moe and Joe) and is severely punished by Mandy in the end credits (she mentioned that she wondered if the game had a mode which she and the others could just beat on Billy).

Gameplay

The gameplay slightly resembles that of Power Stone. In the game, you can execute light and heavy style attacks. Gameplay includes 2-4 player Multiplayer, solo, and co-op Story Mode and Mission Mode. The environment is very interactive, with the ability to manipulate many objects. There are different weapons scattered through all the levels, such as a halberd or a club. Treasure chests contain a variety of items including weapons, cupcakes, hamhocks (which restore health), and Mojo Balls that fill up your Mojo Meter. When the Mojo Meter fills once, a Mojo Smackdown can be performed, where the character attacks the opponent with a barrage of punches, kicks, and slaps, finally destroying the opponent with a piledriver. When the Mojo Meter fills twice, a Mojo Meltdown can be performed, instantly knocking out all opponents. Each round of fighting begins with banter from each character on the playing field. An opponent isn't fully defeated until their lives are depleted AND the player or another opponent attacks them and delivers four blows against that opponent, knocking them out of the arena fully. In Story Mode, the game culminates with a battle against the brain-eating meteor from Little Rock of Horror.

The game features 15 playable characters all (except Jack) voiced by their respective voice actors from the cartoon and 5 horde characters:

  • Dracula's Mojo Meltdown consists of disco dancing, similar to in Home Of The Ancients.
  • General Skarr's Mojo Smackdown move consists of him slicing his victim with an "S" in a Zorro-like fashion.

  • Every time Fred swings up in his finishing moves, the chosen opponent gets hit down.
  • If you perform General Skarr's meltdown, you'll notice that the "Automatic Stabbin' Flabber" is actually the pink robot that Skarr used to try and steal Grim's scythe in Skarred for Life, not the green robot with lots of daggers.
  • Jack, oddly, is voiced by Maurice LaMarche instead of Wayne Knight.
  • Fred Fredburger's costume in Big Boogey Adventure is purple. But in the game, Fred Fredburger's costume is orange.
