* NintendoHard: The game at its worst is a tough platforming game, [[FakeDifficulty and for all the wrong reasons]].

* AdaptationalWimp: Captain Kidd wasn't a top tier villain to begin with, but he at least posed ''something'' resembling a threat in the cartoon appeared in. In this game, during the "fight" against him, he just hops or walks around without even using his sword, and he goes down in a few hits from your attack. The [[KaizoTrap pit you have to jump over to complete the game]] is harder than he is!

* ChargedAttack: When he's wearing boxing gloves, Felix can charge them up for a bigger punch. It doesn't seem to do any more damage than a normal punch though, and the charge time leaves you a sitting duck for an attack.

* FakeDifficulty: The game is ''loaded'' with design flaws that make it much harder than it needs to be. Felix can only see a couple feet ahead of him, and many levels have bottomless pits or platforms with enemies on them just offscreen with few or any chances to prepare yourself for them [[TrialAndErrorGameplay except by memorization]]. To make matters worse, the game flat out ''hates'' unarmored Felix--he has no MercyInvincibility (the two boss fights can even exploit this by trapping Felix in place, whittling down his power-ups until he dies), and his default attack is a pathetic short range punch, and it's very easy to trigger the nearly useless windup punch, which leaves you a sitting duck for an enemy attack, [[ContinuingIsPainful and you lose all of your power-ups on dying]]. On top of that, Felix has very stiff jumping controls, and the levels are designed to use that against you.

* JumpPhysics: Felix has a very stiff jump thats hard to control, and if you so much as walk off a platform without jumping, Felix will sink like a rock and you lose any mid-air control over him--these are often in spots with BottomlessPits, too.

* PowerUpFood: Like the 1992 NES game, there are milk bottles floating around, but they just serve as coins here--they don't recharge your power-ups or give you points. The Eggs floating around are worth 10 bottles, which make it easier to get 1-ups.

* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: Captain Kidd comes back to challenge Felix again after 62 years--and just tries to rely on CollisionDamage and jumping to fight him, while Felix is now able to use four different attacks, all of them capable of taking down Kidd in seconds.

''Felix The Cat By Dragon Co.'' (AKA ''Felix The Cat 3'') is a 1998 [[UnlicensedGame unlicensed]] UsefulNotes/{{NES}} video game, developed by Dragon Co. and starring WesternAnimation/FelixTheCat.

The gameplay is a side-scrolling platformer and has some thematic similarities to Creator/HudsonSoft's [[VideoGame/FelixTheCat 1992 NES game]], but there are several differences. First, there are only two boss fights, the power-up system acts different, and there's an all around lack of polish to the controls, design and all around presentation.

* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: Captain Kidd comes back to challenge Felix again after 62 years--and just tries to rely on CollisionDamage and jumping to fight him, and effortlessly goes down from only a few of Felix's attacks.

* PowerUpFood: Averted; like the 1992 NES game, there are milk bottles floating around, but they just serve as coins here--they don't recharge your power-ups or give you points. The Eggs floating around do give you 10 milk bottles worth of points though, which makes it easier to get 1-ups.

* LevelsTakeFlight: Level 5 has Felix grab a hangglider to fly around in it. He can upgrade it to a helicopter as well.

The story is loosely based on the 1936 Felix cartoon ''WesternAnimation/TheGooseThatLaidTheGoldenEgg''--Captain Kidd, Felix's old foe, has kidnapped Goldie the Goose again, and Felix has to go off and rescue her.

* PowerUpFood: Averted; like the 1992 NES game, there are milk bottles floating around, but they just serve as coins here--they don't recharge your power-ups or give you points.

* TankGoodness: Like in the NES game, Felix can stack power-ups, with the fourth one being a mini-tank. Unlike the 1992 game, the tank is ''much'' more useful here, since it's shots fire in a straight line.

* MarathonLevel: Level 4 is a long underwater level that gives you just barely enough time to finish it. If you screw around, you ''will'' run out of time before you reach the goal post.

* DeathMountain: Level 3 is set in a mountain region that Felix has to traverse.

* SlippySlideyIceWorld: World 6 is an ice themed level with enemies like baby penguins sitting around.

* FollowTheMoney: The game occasionally uses these to guide you to a platform offscreen, but they'll often be platforms with enemies on them too.
