YMMV / Mr. Nutz

Go To

  • Accidental Innuendo: Just the name Mr. Nutz sounds dirty to many people, and it doesn't end there. As some of the sprites for the trees can resemble penises and gaping anuses to some people. It gets even better since some of these tree sprites are mirrored, making them resemble the infamous Reddit double-dick and Goatse.
  • Awesome Music: The whole soundtrack is just amazing. Some of the best tracks are Mr. Spider Attacks and Woody Land 3 & 4.
    • Hoppin' Mad has its fair share of great themes as well, including both the Amiga and Genesis versions of Nature.
  • Quirky Work: The game's bizarre bosses have sparked many a "What drugs were the developers on?" comment from those who play or watch it.
  • So Okay, It's Average: While the first game gets praise for its lovely spritework and nice music, its gameplay is considered to be completely cookie cutter and overly basic in mechanics and level design.
  • Unintentional Uncanny Valley: The characters in this game are very detailed, which can lead to this effect with some characters:
    • Ograoum Papas (the giant) is the worst offender, due to his semirealistic details not matching up with his distorted features. That contorted angry face does not belong on a human-like character. It gets even worse when he uses his bouncing eyeball attack.
    • Little Clown. Of course. His eyes note  and mouth are gaping holes, making his face look like a hollow mask. As if that wasn't bad enough, he's a Perpetual Smiler. Not even being defeated is enough to stop him from being creepy - when he is defeated, he falls over on his side - but his sprite doesn't change at all, making the motion like very unnatural. And yes, he's still smiling when he does this.
      • Later re-releases would tone down Little Clown's unnerving demeanor. The Genesis version adds a defeat animation and lightens up the boss arena. The GBA version completely redesigns his face to be more menacing and less creepy; its depressing boss music also changed to an action theme.
    • Mr. Blizzard is without a doubt the ugliest Yeti in history. He looks like ET The Extraterrestrial covered in fur, and on steroids. Like Little Clown, he too has a weird smile plastered to his face.
