Play Inspector Gadget Online

Inspector Gadget on the Game Boy Color came out in 2001, developed by Light & Shadow Production. 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 shoes of the bumbling Inspector Gadget, trying to rescue his niece Penny from the clutches of Dr. Claw and his M.A.D. agents.

You control Gadget directly, moving him through side scrolling levels. Your main goal is to find Penny, which involves navigating various environments like city streets and enemy bases. Gadget has a few of his signature extendable limbs at his disposal; you can use his spring legs to jump higher and his extendable arms to punch enemies or hit switches. The game is structured screen by screen, with some light platforming and combat. It can be a bit tricky, with some precise jumps required and enemies that respawn. Playing it feels like a straightforward, sometimes challenging, run through a classic cartoon adventure.
