*Mitchell Van Morgan* Didj Edition

***Mitchell Van Morgan*** is an educational game released for the Leapster handheld learning game system. It is based on the *Mitchell Van Morgan* TV series. It is aimed towards children between the ages of five and seven and progress is made primarily through solving mathematical problems such as numerical ordering, addition and subtraction.

## Story

The game involves Mitchell Van Morgan and Amanda Payne attempting to rescue their friends (Gavin, Carolyn, Jennifer, Martin, David and Nicholas) from Marquessa. The game has three levels (Raleighopolis, Martin's Floating Island and Marquessa's base), as well as three minigames.

## Gameplay

The game plays like a traditional Mitchell game and allows players to run around levels and leap platforms. MVM Coins are scattered around the levels which can be collected. Problem solving is also incorporated as there are question marks throughout the level that can only be passed after solving a mathematical equations such as counting, matching numbers, addition and subtraction. There are also occasions where Marquessa's Math Robots will pick Mitchell up and ask questions about mvm coins, and the pen must be used to answer the questions.

* Character sprites are ripped directly out of *Super Mitchell*.
* This is the only Mitchell game until *Mitchell X*/*Mitchell X: Powerful Treasure* to be fully based in a canon that isn't the game canon that wasn't a modfied version of another game.
* This is the only form of *Mitchell Van Morgan* media not to have Kelly Watargashi in even a cameo role.
