Powerpuff Girls: Paint the Townsville Green is one of three games based on the top-rated Cartoon Network series, developed by BAM! Entertainment for the Game Boy Color. This episode features Buttercup, the spunky, self-assured brunette member of the elementary school-aged crime fighting trio. As Buttercup, the player makes her way through this side-scrolling shooter adventure to defeat the band of destructive hoodlums known as the Gangrene Gang. Buttercup is particularly known for her physical prowess and strength of purpose on the television series and this is reflected in the gameplay, as Powerpuff Girls: Paint the Townsville Green features more of a focus on action than the other two Powerpuff Girls cartridges. As she tracks down the dangerous Gangrene Gang, Buttercup will find many power-ups and collectable items along the way. Many of these items can be traded with a friend who is playing another of the Powerpuff Girls games, through the use of a Game Boy Link Cable. This game works only on Game Boy Color compatible systems.
