Rating issues

This game features mild violence involving fantasy characters and human-like characters. The human characters are cartoon-like in nature, with exaggerated features, and the fantasy characters are often surreal, including chattering teeth, germs and fruit slices. Characters can be punched, hit with objects or attacked using various psychic abilities. Reactions to violence are unrealistic: impacts often result in flashes and stars appearing above characters, without any blood or injury detail. When enemies are defeated, they disappear, sometimes in clouds of smoke. In one comic scene, a watermelon slices runs around inside a blender, before being turned into a smoothie.

Some scenes may be scary to younger children, including one in which the main character is kidnapped by a giant enemy and dropped into a vortex. He panics for a while until he realises that his levitation powers will allow him to escape.

Other issues

In one sequence, the central character enters the mind of another. This takes the form of a hospital which has been distorted into a casino. Although characters are seen at gambling tables and machines, the sequence does not glamorise gambling or offer any specific instruction in gambling.

There is some very mild comic innuendo and occasional sight of characters holding cigarettes or cigars.
