About this game
Jelly Boy is a gelatinous humanoid pink blob on a mission throughout some strange worlds.
He travels throughout such landscapes as giant toy factories and arctic snowfields during his quest, facing down all manner of dangerous enemies and obstacles.

He can jump and he can launch a large fist from his stomach (he is a blob, after all).
Further, different levels have special power-ups that allow the blob to assume different forms that are useful in specific circumstances.
These include a hot air balloon (for floating up to special items), a hammer (for smashing obstructing blocks), a submarine (for more effectively navigating an undersea bonus level), a skateboard (for blazing through a level on a deadline), and a pogo stick (for extra high jumping).
Not all of the power-ups are useful, though.
One item turns Jelly Boy into a block so that he is unable to move for several seconds.
Jelly Boy collects musical notes in lieu of having a power meter.
Being hit knocks away all of his collected notes and if he gets hit again without having any notes, he will lose a life.
Jelly Boy also collects a variety of fruit throughout his quest.
Accumulate enough fruit to earn extra lives.
Certain types of fruit have other side effects (orange = more time on the clock, avocado = invincibility).
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 Jelly Boy 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 Jelly Boy 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 1994.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
