Content specific issues

Players have to defeat enemies by hitting or kicking them. When struck, they are knocked backwards. After enough hits, they collapse and disappear in a puff of smoke. The player's character can also be hit by the enemy characters. When hit, they make a grunting sound and their health reduces. When little health is left, the sides of the screen flash red, and when health is exhausted, the player's character falls down and then turns into a bat before respawning at an earlier point. There are no visible injuries. Potentially scary content occurs within a light-hearted context. However, some of the monster characters may be frightening for very young children.

Content specific issues

The human characters are cartoon-like in nature, with exaggerated features, and the fantasy characters are often surreal, including chattering teeth, germs and fruit slices. Characters can be punched, hit with objects or attacked using various psychic abilities. Reactions to violence are unrealistic: impacts often result in flashes and stars appearing above characters, without any blood or injury detail. When enemies are defeated, they disappear, sometimes in clouds of smoke. In one comic scene, a watermelon slices runs around inside a blender, before being turned into a smoothie. Some scenes may be scary to younger children, including one in which the main character is kidnapped by a giant enemy and dropped into a vortex. He panics for a while until he realises that his levitation powers will allow him to escape.

Other issues

Although characters are seen at gambling tables and machines, the sequence does not glamorise gambling or offer any specific instruction in gambling. There is some very mild comic innuendo and occasional sight of characters holding cigarettes or cigars.
