Description

"The Incredible Crash Dummies" is a video game released in 1993 for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), among other platforms. Developed by Gray Matter Inc. and published by LJN, the game is based on the popular Crash Dummies toys and animated series which were originally created to educate people about the importance of wearing seat belts. In the NES adaptation, players control Slick and Spin, crash test dummies, who must navigate through various hazardous levels in an attempt to stop the evil Junkman who is threatening their safety and security. The game incorporates a mix of platforming and vehicular levels, adding diversity to the gameplay as players avoid obstacles and enemies to progress.

Gameplay in "The Incredible Crash Dummies" involves a combination of driving sequences and side-scrolling action. In the driving levels, players must maneuver their car, avoiding road hazards and collecting bonus items. The side-scrolling levels require more direct control over the dummies, jumping over pits, ducking under obstacles, and using a variety of gadgets to overcome challenges. One unique feature of the game, reflecting the crash test theme, is that characters can lose limbs when they take damage, affecting their abilities but not immediately ending the game. This mechanic adds an amusing, yet challenging element to the game, making it memorable among NES titles. Although not critically acclaimed, the game holds a niche appeal due to its quirky premise and ties to the popular 90s cultural reference.
