3	''Mr. Nutz'' is a MascotWithAttitude platformer created by Creator/OceanSoftware and Planet Interactive. It was originally released for the Platform/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem in 1993, but has since been ported to other consoles including the Platform/SegaMegaDrive, Platform/GameBoyColor, and Platform/GameBoyAdvance.

5	The game is a 2D sidescroller starring a FunnyAnimal squirrel named [[ProtagonistTitle Mr. Nutz]]. Mr. Nutz goes on a journey to prevent the evil yeti Mr. Blizzard from freezing the world.

7	A follow-up, titled ''Mr. Nutz: Hoppin' Mad.'', was released in 1994 on the Platform/{{Amiga}} in the stead of a failed Amiga version of the original game. After defeating Mr. Blizzard, Mr. Nutz goes on vacation to Peanut Planet only to find the planet invaded by evil alien chickens- throwing the squirrel into another journey across several continents to put a stop to them.

9	!!This game contains examples of:
10	* AnIcePerson: Mr. Blizzard.
11	* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: Mr. Blizzard is a rare villainous example.
12	* CirclingVultures: Parodied with the second boss, a witch vulture riding a broomstick, who will sometimes ride in a circle.
13	* ConvectionSchmonvection: One of the levels is appropriately named "Volcano Underpass". As per usual, the magma is only dangerous if you touch it.
14	* CreepyCircusMusic: Little Clown's battle music has this sound.
15	* DownTheDrain: An interesting example in that, instead of a sewer, it's a ''giant sink''.
16	* EdibleAmmunition: Mr. Nutz can throw acorns at enemies.
17	* {{Expy}}: The second boss is a clear ShoutOut to ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'', looking like a cross between the Witch and the vultures who stalk her.
18	* EyeScream: Ograoum Papas. One of his attacks has him quite literally popping his eyes out of his head to bounce around the arena. They regrow instantly... and then he pops them out ''again.'' When he's defeated, his eyes pop out one more time.
19	* FinalBoss: Mr. Blizzard.
20	* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Mr. Blizzard isn't given much of a personality.
21	* GiantSpider: The first boss is one, though his scariness is [[NightmareRetardant hampered]] by his hillbilly-esque appearance. He still gets some dramatic music for his boss fight, though.
22	* GoombaStomp: One of Mr. Nutz's primary attacks.
23	* GreenHillZone: Adventure Park is the second world and takes place in a vast plain with some tall trees and some rideable zip lines.
24	* LevelInTheClouds: You go from "Volcano Overpass" to walking in the clouds, where you encounter Ograoum Papas.
25	* TheLostWoods: Woody Land takes place in a wooded areas and the first world on Mr. Nutz's journey.
26	* MagicalClown: Little Clown can change his size, and also unscrew his own head, causing several Little Clown heads to fly at Mr. Nutz. [[TacticalSuicideBoss Destroying all the heads damages the boss, and is in fact the only way to hurt him.]]
27	* MonsterClown: Little Clown, the penultimate boss.
28	* NothingButSkulls: The witch throws skulls as one of her primary attacks. When defeated, she explodes into a pile of skulls as well.
29	* OurGiantsAreBigger: Ograoum Papas is so large that his head reaches up into the clouds. He also has the ability to [[EyeScream pop his eyes out of their sockets at will]].
30	* PieInTheFace: As you might expect, Little Clown uses pies as a projectile.
31	* ReReleaseSoundtrack: The GBA port had different music than the original SNES and Sega versions.
32	* SuperNotDrowningSkills: Mr. Nutz is capable of holding his breath indefinitely (his cheeks puff out when he's underwater). The only danger water brings with it is that he takes damage when he touches dirty water.
33	* TailSlap: One of Mr. Nutz's three main forms of attack, alongside throwing acorns and jumping on enemies.
34	* TentacledTerror: One boss is a creepy giant octopus that sends squid and jellyfish to attack Mr. Nutz.
35	* UnderwaterBossBattle: The giant octopus boss is fought in an underwater room.
36	* WorldOfFunnyAnimals: Mr. Nutz and some of the bosses are {{Funny Animal}}s.
