Item Description
Saturday-morning syndication gave us plenty of oddball heroes, and few were stranger than Widget, a small purple alien who watched over Earth's environment in the cartoon Widget the World Watcher. In 1992, late in the NES's life, Atlus brought him to the console in a colorful action platformer developed by Graphic Research.
The plot is pure cartoon: Widget's evil twin is out to destroy Earth, and only Widget can stop him. Armed with a pellet-firing blaster, he runs and jumps through five levels, and after the first you choose the order of the middle four, which keeps the adventure from feeling like a straight line. The real hook is transformation. Each level you clear unlocks a new form, a lumbering golem, a cannon, a bird or a speedy mouse, and switching into the right shape is how Widget handles obstacles his normal form can't.
Widget also has a second life most licensed games never get. The cartridge is known for its glitches, including ways to pass through walls or warp ahead to the next room, and speedrunners have made a hobby of exploiting them. That gives a modest kids' platformer a surprising afterlife as a playground for players who love breaking games apart.
A year later Atlus followed it with Super Widget on the Super NES, but this is the original, and a fun snapshot of early-'90s cartoon tie-ins with a real gameplay idea at their center. Shape-shifting through those four forms is the part that sticks, and it gives this late NES release a charm well beyond its license.
