*Mitchell X: Mitchell Van Morgan* is a revival of the *Mitchell* series, which first began with *Mitchell Van Morgan*. The game is a sequel to *Mitchell X: Elemental Power*, and is a very last 2.5D title of the **Mitchell X* series*.

## Gameplay

The game is shown at a slightly zoomed out perspective, allowing less dangerous use of the character skills, and uses the auto-filling power meter, which powers the special abilities featured in *Super Mitchell* (nor *Super Mitchell 2*). There are other tweaks, such as bouncing off walls when he hits them at a 45 degree angle. He is also able to shoot short range projectiles and perform a drill attack which allows him to break through certain surfaces. The playable character's defense range is also complete, allowing the character to deflect certain projectiles with their own skills. Like other side-scrolling beat'em ups, there will be side-scrolling beat'em up segments, where Mitchell & his friends can charge their skills up and use their abilities to quickly avoid obstacles. There are several items and power ups along the way, with point and life bonuses earned for collecting all of a certain item in a level.

Few years later, a new threat to Raleighopolis has arrived. The gang was surprised to find the Marquessaniks fighting alongside the citizens of Raleighopolis against an army of Weltoniks, with Mitchell's robotic nemesis, Metal Mitchell, acting as Mitchell Van Morgan in his absence. Suspecting something may be amiss, Mitchell and his buddies decided to put on their gear and head back into the fray, ready to fight the Weltoniks. However, when Team Mitchell eventually defeats the leader of the weltoniks and Marquessa's bounty hunter Welton Payne-Smythe in Marquessa's Castle, Mitchell's arch-nemesis Marquessa turns the Marquessaniks once again against the citizens of Raleighopolis, their one other threat eliminated.
