In the Wii version, there's no such moral anymore, so he's basically just your standard big fat jerk. In the original game, this was part of the alleged Aesop, because the game had a whole 'candy is bad for you' theme and the Emperor was basically just a sapient blob of fat. Fat Bastard: The Emperor of Bloblonia.In Wii version, the earlier levels of world 4. Eternal Engine: In NES version, the sweets factory.Collision Damage: It applies to some of the enemies too if they collide with different enemies.Some of the sequel's enemies fit into a Blob Monster category as well.Blob Monster: But the Blob isn't so much a monster in this game.Batman Can Breathe in Space: The inevitible trip to Blobolonia.This is far from the only pun among the jellybean effects, of course.A Worldwide Punomenon: The 'Apple' flavored beans turn Blobert into a jack.The Wii game replaces Root Beer with Cinnamon for the rocket, but gives us in return: The Berry Balloon, Bubble Gum Bouncer, Pear Parachute, Cream Cannon, Strawberry Shield (replacing Strawberry = Bridge in the original), and Cotton Candy Copy.The original contains the Root Beer Rocket.Both games have the Licorice Ladder and Tangerine Trampoline. Added Alliterative Appeal: Those jellybean names that aren't pun-tastic tend to be these.A Boy and His X: Just look at the title.The 2 main characters among with others were redesigned too.

It was finally resurrected on the Wii by Way Forward Technologies, makers of Shantae and a bunch of licensed stuff, as a level-based puzzle platformer.

Numerous remakes were rumored since its release, but for twenty years the series consisted of only the original and a 1990 sequel for the Game Boy, The Rescue of Princess Blobette. From licorice to ketchup, each flavor turns Blob into a different shape, allowing the boy to overcome obstacles and complete each level. The main draw of this platforming game (which was created by David Crane of Pitfall fame) is that Blob has the uncanny ability to change into different shapes/objects depending on what type of jellybean the boy feeds him. Part I: A Primer on Subcellular Scale provides a frame of reference for organelle size by magnifying a cell to the size of a person, and Part II: Interpreting Scale in Visualizations examines strategies for thinking critically about how scale is visually represented.Released in 1989 for the Nintendo Entertainment System, A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia (yep, that really is the game's subtitle), features the adventures of our eponymous hero (the Boy) and his friend Blob (full name Blobert) as they race to Blob's home world to defeat the evil emperor. The project was two short animations for the module. This misconception will be addressed in a web-based module aimed at first-year undergraduate biology students using the BioLEAP (Biology Learning Engagement and Assessment Platform) in conjunction with the first-year biology curriculum at the University of Toronto Mississauga. This leads students to form misconceptions based on the way information is visually presented - one common example is a skewed sense of organelle size due to the way cells are often simplified in diagrams.

Visual literacy is the ability to glean useful information and form mental models from visualizations, however it is not explicitly taught, so students are expected to develop those skills on their own.
