Play Inspector Gadget - Advance Mission (e)(eurasia) Online

Inspector Gadget: Advance Mission came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2002, published by Light and Shadow and developed by Light and Shadow. It was one of many licensed titles from that era, a time when the handheld was filled with games based on cartoons and movies. You step into the oversized shoes of the bumbling Inspector Gadget, tasked with stopping Dr. Claw and his M.A.D. agents after they have stolen a powerful new energy source.

You control Gadget through side scrolling levels, moving from screen to screen. Your main goal is to find and rescue Penny, who is hidden somewhere in each stage. Gadget's signature move is his spring loaded Gadget Arms, which you use to punch enemies and break certain blocks. You also collect gadgets like the Gadget Copter for a brief hover or the Gadget Skates for a speed boost, though these are temporary power ups found in levels. The game is not particularly long, but some sections require precise jumps and careful enemy timing. It feels like a straightforward, slightly clunky platformer that relies heavily on its source material for charm.
