Gimmick, and they decide to carry her away to a mystical land.
Gimmick goes after them to bring his owner back.
Gimmick is a platform game where you take control of Mr.
Gimmick over the course of six levels.
You defend yourself by throwing bouncing stars that take a second to form and are then thrown downward.
You can also ride the stars thrown to gain access to higher platforms.
The inventory you have allows you to store bombs, potions, and fireballs.
The game has two endings.
The easier way is to just run through all of the levels.
Each level has a treasure hidden that can be a bit difficult to get, and finding all of these gives access to an extra level.
But if you lose all of your lives and have to continue, the game will take all of your treasures away, and not allow you to get to the final level.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Mr. Gimmick for Nintendo Entertainment System 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 Mr. Gimmick 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 NES release dates back to 1992.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Mr. Gimmick has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
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.
