Super Troll Islands (スーパートロールアイランド, Sūpā Torōru Airando) is a platform game based on the license of bright-haired toys known as Troll dolls. A Sega Genesis version was planned but never released.[4][5][6]
Gameplay[edit]
Each scrolling level is initially shrouded in an animated "mist" until they are cleared by running around platforms and ladders in any order, bringing color to an initially greyscale game tile. A brightly coloured background is revealed after the player makes the mist vanish into thin air.[2]
Mr Blobby[edit]
The game was reskinned for Amiga and MS-DOS as Mr Blobby, based on the character from the British TV series Noel's House Party. The gameplay remained the same, but the Troll characters were replaced with Mr Blobby and his family.[7]
