About Captain Novolin

Captain Novolin is a Super Nintendo Entertainment System title where the protagonist's unique condition is central to the action. This superhero's power is diabetes, a factor that directly influences the gameplay mechanics during a platforming adventure.

The narrative involves an invasion by aliens who appear as junk food, led by Blubberman. Their initial move is to abduct the mayor of Pineville, who has a limited supply of diabetes medication. Rescuing this official becomes the primary objective, requiring the hero to navigate through various levels.

Success depends on both avoiding enemy attacks and actively managing a diabetic regimen. Prior to each stage, the player must administer a correct insulin dose. Throughout the levels, collecting food items is necessary, but must be done within prescribed limits to maintain health.
