Hey, if a show about a spineless aquatic fry cook can become a huge hit, why not a show about a boy saddled with two hapless fairy godparents? Hence Nickelodeon's The Fairly OddParents!, which now makes its Game Boy Advance debut with The Fairly OddParents!: Enter the Cleft.

Catching the manic energy of the Edward Everett Horton-narrated Fractured Fairy Tales from The Bullwinkle Show -- and we can't think of higher praise than that -- The Fairly OddParents! chronicles the misadventures of Timmy and his often less-then-helpful fairy godparents, Cosmo and Wanda.

In The Fairly Oddparents!: Enter the Cleft, Timmy's favorite comic-book hero, the Crimson Chin, has been captured by the despicable Bronze Knee Cap. The player controls Timmy's superhero alter-ego, Cleft the Boy Chin Wonder, through 20 zany side-scrolling levels in places like Comic Book World, the Primitive Age, the Present World and the Future World.

Conveniently stored in Cleft's chin is your typical assortment of superhero power-ups, including a megaphone, baseball bat, skateboard, rope and gyro. Cleft must summon all the courage in his boyish heart to defeat horrible rotten mean bosses like Vicky the babysitter. Eeeeeek!

You'll encounter A.J., Chester, Cosmo's mother, Mr. and Mrs. Turner and other fave characters from the TV show. Cosmo and Wanda pop in from time to time to, quote unquote, "help" their li'l charge. Given the typical way C&W gum up the works, we're surprised to learn that some of the items they supply Timmy are actually critical to his mission of mercy.
