Play Scooby-doo - Unmasked (u)(trashman) Online

I picked up Scooby-Doo: Unmasked for the Game Boy Advance back in 2005, a time when licensed platformers were common on the handheld. It was published by THQ, and it fits right into that era of colorful, side-scrolling adventures based on cartoons. You control Scooby-Doo himself, which immediately sets it apart from games where you'd typically play as one of the human Mystery Inc. members.

The main goal is to investigate a haunted movie studio, moving screen by screen to find clues and unmask the various monsters causing trouble. Scooby can jump on enemies and use a basic scare attack, but the signature mechanic is finding and using different costumes. Each costume, like a knight or a kung-fu outfit, gives him a unique ability to solve specific puzzles or defeat certain foes. The pacing is straightforward, though some jumps can be tricky and the enemy placement requires a bit of attention. It feels like a lighthearted puzzle-platformer where switching costumes to progress keeps the exploration engaging.
