Incredible Crash Dummies, The (USA, Europe)

Incredible Crash Dummies, The is a platform game released for the Game Boy in the early 1990s, developed by the now-defunct company, Ocean Software. It draws inspiration from the popular animated series and toy line of the same name, which emphasizes safety and crash testing. This title is notable for being part of the larger trend of licensed games during this era, where many titles sought to capitalize on existing media properties to attract players.

Each level presents different hazards that reflect the series' theme of safety and accident prevention, making for a unique twist on traditional platforming gameplay. The game also encourages players to utilize their characters' abilities strategically to overcome challenges.
