The Powerpuff Girls: Chemical X-Traction is a fighting game published by BAM! Entertainment for the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation in 2001. It was based on the Cartoon Network animated series The Powerpuff Girls. The player controls one of the Powerpuff Girls in a variety of one-on-one melee battles against the computer-controlled villains.

Gameplay

The Powerpuff Girls: Chemical X-Traction is a 3D fighting game in which the player controls one of the Powerpuff Girls (Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup), who must battle enemies in a variety of settings in order to reclaim Chemical X and track down Mojo Jojo. The player can choose from ten playable characters, which consist of The Powerpuff Girls and seven villains.

The game had two modes: story mode (the players can pick up objects and throw them at an enemy to decrease their opponents health meter and use super powered attacks by collecting vials of Chemical X) and simulator mode (the player controls a Powerpuff Girl against a villain or a villain against another villain).

Plot

The Powerpuff Girls were making a delicious pie while Bubbles decided to add in Chemical X as an ingredient for the pie. Once they baked the pie, Mojo Jojo took the pie and shared it with his allies including Fuzzy Lumpkins, Big Billy, Ace, Sedusa and Princess Morbucks. The Powerpuff Girls eventually defeat Mojo Jojo but were surprised by HIM's sudden arrival so the fiend can use the Chemical X for himself. The girls defeated HIM and put the Chemical X back where it belongs.
