A prisoner in the real world, Jack Deebs, is transported into the Cool World by Holli Would as she is interested in him.

Cool World consists of eight levels. with six being platforming action levels and two being side-scrolling driving platforming levels.
In the game Jack can jump, collect objects like nickels and sweets, suck doodles into a pen, and use a stretch punch to deal with foes.
As Jack explores the levels he should try to avoid getting arrested by the Cool World Popper Police force.
If Jack does get arrested he can either get chewed out by Detective Frank Harris or will have to pay bail money using the aforementioned nickels.
About Game Boy
The original Game Boy (1989) proved that handheld gaming didn't need cutting-edge graphics to succeed — its monochrome screen and legendary battery life, combined with Tetris as a pack-in, made it a cultural phenomenon. Game Boy cartridges are famously durable, so this remains one of the more accessible retro platforms to collect, though translucent color variants and complete-in-box copies with the original brick-sized manual add real value for condition-focused collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Cool World (1993) for Game Boy with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Cool World (1993) to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GB release dates back to 1993.
