Overview
Packy and Marlon is a side-scrolling platformer featuring two diabetic elephants, the titular Packy and Marlon, as they attempt to retake their Summer camp "Camp Wa-Kee" from a group of rats and recover the food and medicine they and the other kids sorely need. As they platform through a series of stages, they must answer trivia questions on diabetes and take regular shots of insulin and check on their blood glucose.
The game is part of Raya Systems (or Health Hero Network) series of Super Nintendo games that were designed to educate children about chronic health conditions either they or family and friends might have. It joins 1992's Captain Novolin in teaching kids important lessons about diabetes and keeping themselves healthy.
