Fancy Pants Adventures features Fancy Pants Man as the playable character of the series. He is a two dimensional stick figure with spiky, choppy hair, wearing only a pair of triangular-shaped pants. Fancy Pants Adventures is a sidescrolling platformer, like a cross between Sonic and Mario. This game is the first in the Fancy Pants series, and has been given the name World 1. Fancy Pants Man's home is
Squiggleville. A small country town runned by the Mayor.Players guide Fancy Pants Man through open levels which feature obstacles to overcome and enemies to avoid or defeat.These enemies include spiders, snails, dragons, and rats armed with guns. Enemies can be defeated by being jumped on and crushed by Fancy Pants Man, who can also launch off them to reach greater heights. Use the left and right arrow keys to move, press the 'S' key to jump, and the down arrow to crouch. The up arrow is used to open doors. To go into a roll, either hold the down arrow on a steep slope, or hold it while mid air to land in a roll. The pants may not look like much to you, but to a stick figure, they're stylin' threads! Jump on spiders and find your way to the next level!
