objective?
You have to get to the end of the platform level and reach
the flag without dying. This will load the next level. At the

achieving this?
There are lots of different enemies trying to stop you.
Some fire guns at you, others patrol and if they touch you
the player will die. You also have to be careful not to fall
down if there is nothing there, as you will die also.

2. GAME WORLD
Explain where the
game takes place?
What type of
locations?
The game is set in the mushroom Queendom. The levels are
mostly nice and sunny, with green grass and I have coloured
them using bright colours as the game is meant to be fun
and has a cartoon style. The level I have made is simple, and
has 2 buildings in it based on my concept art below. Later
levels would be set in darker places, such as haunted
mansions, lava filled caves and dungeons.

3. GAMEPLAY & MECHANICS
How does the player
overcome their
challenges?
What can they do in
the game world?
How will the player
control the avatar?
The player has to get to the end of the level. They do this
by moving across the screen to the right, and they have to
jump over some obstacles in the environment (such as
plants) or onto moving platforms. If they fall and there is
nothing beneath them they die. Also, there are enemies in
the level, small Cooper Troops, who you have to avoid. If the
Cooper troops touch you, you die and restart the level. You
can jump on the Cooper troops, and if you land on their head
the level restarts. You use keyboard controls to go up and
down and back and forward. You can also jump on enemies to
kill them.

4. AVATAR
Who does the
player control in the
game?
The player controls Mary-O, a small Mediterranean
handyman who has to rescue a princess. He is dressed in a
red top and cap and blue dungarees. He has a moustache as
well.

5. ENEMIES
What different
types of enemies
are there in the
game?
How do they stop
the player from
achieving their
objective?
How does the player
stop them?
The Cooper Troops are like turtles and they are the main
enemy. You have to hit these on the head because if they
touch you, the player dies. They mainly walk back and forth
but occasionally fire guns at you. You can jump on their
shells once you’ve killed them and it turns the shell into a
missle which kills other nearby Cooper Troops, but be
careful because it will kill you too.
