Beware of the olympic games. Its one of the hardest obstacles in the game. Other than that this game was a real challange and had lots of variety in the playing.

I looooove this game!

In this game you take the part of the ultra- intergalactic-cybotG, Marina Liteyears. She is on the planet Clancer with professor Theo when the professor is kidnapped! Marina has no choice but to come flying to his rescue. As you progress through the game you run into several minions of the evil emperor. They kidnap and return professor Theo over and over. Some of the levels are more fun than difficult, such as clanball land but overall it's a very challenging but entertaining game with the cutest world ever seen in a game. The graphics are very like japanese animation and very cute. You get to use a small variety of weapons but her main attack is grabbing and shaking or slaming down her enimies.

this game sux

Mischief Makers was a lot different than the previews on TV made it look and the magazines made it sound, but it's still a good game. It's one of the only 2D games on the Nintendo 64 and it's not bad. You collect crystals for health and there's a hard to find yellow crystal in each level that you have to find in order to see the ending of the game in full. My only real complaints from Mischief Makers is that there's too many smiley faces in the game and that some of the levels are too easy. The olympics stages are probably the easiest in the whole game. Some of the levels are more like puzzles than action, which makes for good variety. In the first world, it's mostly just a set of prepatory levels, but the rest of the game is non-stop action. Without a doubt, the best part of the game was the bosses. All the bosses were AWESOME, and most of them are a good challenge to get past. In order to get the yellow gem in any of the boss levels, you must kill them without being hit any.

All in all, this is a good action/adventure game and it's worth buying just for the good graphics and the awesome bosses you'll have to face. Hint: The more yellow gems you collect in the game, the more of the ending you get to see.

A fun action/adventure with RPG elements...

WOW, this game is the best sidescroller on the N64! It kicks Yoshi's butt. First of all if your a anime fan youll like this game, the main character Marina is robot girl who is kind sorta like Sailor Moon. The levels are fun but sometimes youll wish the whole clanball puzzle thing wasnt so common throughout. Some of the levels (migen brawl, cerebus A) bring omething totally new to gaming, they are totally fun and even though the graphics are 2D youll be amazed. The gold gems are there for you to collect, and the more you collect the more of the ending you can see. Right now i have 43 gold gems (out of 50) and i hope to get them all but some are REALLY hard to get! This is a great N64 game and its way above alot of 64 games out there becasue of its quality, its top notch! Hopefully we will see Marina in some sort of sequel, someday...

A one of a kind action/adventure game

"Mischief Makers" is a one of a kind game, and that's one of the reasons it's a good game. Unlike most of the Nintendo 64 games, it's a 2D side-scroller, and a good one at that. You play as Marina, who is half robot, half human, and her mission is to rescue somebody she knows. You have to talk to some villagers who will give you tips along the way, while you try to pass all the levels and bosses. Marina's moves is what's really different about this game. You can shake some things in the game in order to get emeralds out of them, and to make some crucial objects appear. You collect emeralds in the game in order to have continues when you get a game over.

Five worlds with eight levels each are what you must pass in "Mischief Makers." There are many different kinds of levels which you have to get past in order to beat the game. In some levels you just have to simply get to the end of it, there are maze-like levels, some are fast paced action levels, a few of them are like an RPG in which you have to do certain things in a certain order, and in some you just have to get past a mid-boss or main boss. There's even some levels where you have to compete against a computer player in such things as math or the Olympics. To pass a level you have to find a star and it will transport you out of the level. The bosses in the game are some of the most awesome and most difficult ever seen in a video game. They range from easy mini-bosses where you just have to throw or slam them against the ground to some very hard main bosses that do things such as throw missiles at you or try to give you a knuckle sandwich. To beat most of the bosses, you must grab them in a certain spot and throw them or smash them to the ground. The game will give you a hint as to where to grab them by making a beeping sound and showing you an arrow where the right spot is.

"Mischief Makers" has some good graphics and backgrounds, the music is usually good, the control is tight, and it's a lot of fun. There's also something that will boost the replay value up after you beat the game. In every level, there is a hidden yellow emerald that you must find in order to see more of the ending of the game. The more yellow emeralds you find during the game, the more of the ending you get to see. I recommend anybody who has a Nintendo 64 to get "Mischief Makers," it might take you awhile to begin to like the game since it's a lot different from any other video game ever made, but it'll grow on you.

This game stinks!!!!!!!!!

Wow, now I no why someone gave this game to me for free! This is a VERY BORING game and has a VERY BORING plot. So NEVER BUY THIS HORRIBLE GAME. Let me tell you about this game if you still want to buy it after what I have already told you. This is a side scrolling 2-D game, unlike most nintento 64 games. It is about a weird looking girl who has to save this old man who was captured by some robots. I stopped playing it after five minutes on the first level and I have never played it since. This is a fall asleep boring game and would reccomend it to little kids or kids with nothing better to do ( Which believe me you will definatelly have something better to do than this game. ) Also I have no idea where all these crazy kids came from giving this game four or five stars. After all I have said and you still have hopes of buying this game then I would DEFFINATELLY reccomend you renting this game, and please don't buy it for more than 10 dollars.

I know I'm not supposed to make references to other reviews but I can't help noticing that at least two 12-year-old gamers think this game is horriible. Perhapse pre-teens are so in touch with 3D games that 2D games seem brittle, or maybe it's about taste.
In any case, I personally recommend Mischief Makers to any gamer who can tolerate mostly-two-dimensional side-scrollers. Not only does it have a female hero (okay so she's really a robot), it's also lots of fun with few complications. There is so much mindless humor, you might go boom. "Okay, whatever!" you ask? Right. Did I mention no struggling with camera angles? That's right: no clipping, no awkward views, and no blocky characters.
The main character, one Ms. Sarina Lightyears, calls herself an Intergalactic Cybot G! Her creator, one Professor... oh, what's his name?! Anyway, Marina's father/creator has been kidnapped and now she must rescue him from his evil brother and a gang of so-called do-gooders. I don't see any reason not to play this game unless you hate girls or side-scrollers. Give it a girl... I mean whirl! You'll be glad you did!
I'd say more but I'm a bit tired. Expect an updated review soon.
