Mr. Nutz: Hoppin' Mad

About

Mr. Nutz: Hoppin' Mad is a side-scrolling platformer where you control a squirrel named Nutz on a mission to rescue Peanut Planet’s inhabitants from chicken invaders. The game lets you fly through open skies, swim underwater, and explore submerged caves, with levels that mix land, water, and secret tunnels. Warp zones let you skip sections once cleared while collecting bombs and other power-ups to crush enemies. The controls feel tight for a 90s platformer with responsive jumping and movement that keeps the action flowing. What stands out is the variety of environments packed into each level. You’ll switch between soaring above forests and diving into underwater ruins without slowing down. The warp system adds replay value to hunt for hidden paths and bonuses. While it shares a title with an earlier Mr. Nutz game it carves its own niche with smoother mechanics and tighter level design. The Amiga version runs solidly even by modern standards for retro fans who miss chunky pixel art and no-frills platforming.
