Encyclopedia
Ed, Edd n Eddy: Scam of the Century is an action game
developed and published by D3 Publisher America
for the Nintendo DS
handheld console
. The game is based on the popular, long-running Cartoon Network
series, Ed, Edd n Eddy
. The game was released on October 23, 2007 in the United States. In the game, the Eds run the risk of having their scams turned on them by the other kids in the neighborhood. Many of the objects and characters, as well as the visual style, borrow heavily from the cartoon.
On top of the platforming elements, the game contains a number of unlockable mini-games: Whack-a-Mole has been turned into "Whack a Zit" where players tap at rising pimples on Ed's back before they burst. There's also a pie-throwing challenge where players flick the desserts up at enemies on the top screen. The game features 13 total stages, special attacks using the touch screen, the option to blow into the microphone to bring characters back to life, three side story mini-games and special items.
Players take control of the Eds and must make their way through tricks, traps, angry kids and a barrage of ammunition including soap, dirty underwear and broccoli. Then each Ed must brainstorm, scam or smash their way back into the Cul-De-Sac and ultimately battle Captain Melonheaded and Splinter the Wonderwood!
The plot is loosely similar to the episode Robbin' Ed and the "Big Picture Show" movie special, even though the movie had another two years before it saw a release.
