I made a conjoined comic universe of around 300 original characters. Full of adorable little watcha-ma-call-its, robots, super heroes, little ghosties, and much more.

Heyo! Pixel here!This is the story.. the story of the missing world Platformer Pests.


The Platformer Pests was my flagship series when I first joined newgrounds.

It had a comic series and an animated trilogy. I posted the cartoon for the first three PixelDays they all got rewarded in the top three.

It's all lost media now , here's an exclusive look of what happened back then.

Platformer Pests was a super ambitious world project. Featuring 30+ characters in the cast.

They lived in on the video game planet Parkour World.

It had 10 different levels.

Some how I packed in the most prominent characters from my 15 or so experimental Game Maker prototypes in there, as well as my video game themed comic series characters, and an entirely new rogues gallery of game minions accompanied by a few civilizations.

I don't wanna even fathom how many characters that is.

Platformer Pests isn't my only comic series inside of Parkour World.

iu_1390186_24770076.png

The "main" character of Platformer Pests is Jumping Jack Mac.

He's very weak and goes down in one hit, and isn't powerful or high ranked.


Mac's role? It's in his name, he stays in only one place and does jumping jacks.


Although this a story not a computer program, so he has free will which he uses to do anything but his job.

Mac is a part of a class of enemies called Jumping Jack Joes. Since he's a free spirit he doesn't even wear their uniform.


Mac doesn't know how to fight, yet he acts tough anyway.

He's got a creative sense of humor, has an expansive understanding of urban slang.

He's obsessed with eating Mc.Eatie burgers. (he was named after the Big Mac from Mc.Donald's)


Mac's goofy jokes and urban criminal attire may make you think that he avoids learning.

But on the contrary he's very intelligent, he's secretly a competent game hacker. And can comes up

with complex plans on the fly.


Mac totes an unloaded sub machine gun, and a really weak and slow energy sphere shooter.


In the animated trilogy he went on a quest to get the Tera Tie, it's an in-game copy of the very console Parkour World is in, a mad science experiment by Dr.Flare.


He found a way to use that in-game emulator to hack his own reality.

He mostly uses the Tera Tie to survive usually really powerful foes come to bully him.

And of course he does really goofy things with it too.

As the name suggests he's not the only one he's got a group of friends. I call them the Platformer Pests.

Why? Just like bugs the minions are all over the platform world. And the his friends are rejects to the rest of the minions so

they tend to tick others off on arrival.

Flying Felisha is Mac's worst frenemy Mac likes her but she doesn't care.


Flying Felisha is a Grimbette the closest thing you can get to in the series to Mario's walking Mushroom enemy the Goomba.

Just like the other pests she stands out from the the rest of her species.

Felisha is the only Grimbette with a propeller hat. And of you bet a novelty propeller hat can fly in a video game!


Even though she can fly (a long term dream of man kind) you can tell by the look on her face, that she's not amused.

Felisha is bored on default, she's mastered the art of psychological warfare. ( saying things to trigger you and manipulate you) but not even that can lifts her general disinterest. Most of the time she manipulates Mac just to annoy him.


She has a habit of not telling you really important things until it's way too late.

Felisha is a fighter even though she lacks arms, she uses kicks, and makes gusts and mini-tornadoes with her hat.


I know Felicia is the proper way to spell her name... but made up names are fun!


iu_1390189_24770076.png

Next up is Punchy he's the silent, grumpy at a constant powerhouse of the group.

He don't move much, and never blinks. But when he does he's most likely going to punch someone.


He's got super strength and can uppercut you into the stratosphere. And he can become intangible like ghosts do.

You can't hurt Punchy, but he can hurt you, there's no way you're winning a fight with this guy ...you better run!


Punchy never says a word ...ever! I didn't even bother to get him a voice actor for the cartoons.


Despite him being a raging fist. He actually defends the Pests with pleasure and of course without prior communication. It's not beneath him to sucker punch his own alleys though.


Punchy is one of a kind, there is no other enemy that looks like him.


As displayed in the picture above all of the pests have ghost and alive forms. There's plenty of extra life collectables laying around.


iu_1390190_24770076.png

Nate is Mac's best friend.

Nate is a walking bomb robot he turns into his bomba-ghost form after he detonates (get it? deto-NATE)

He's not really a ghost though, he's metal with the added benefit of sci-fi levitation and he can create shock waves from his torso in ghost form ...infinite booms no self destruction.


When he gets an extra life he turns back into his Bomb Bot form.

The only difference between Nate and the rest of the Bomb Bots is his blue wig.


Nate is usually in a low mood because his job is to self destruct.


He used his income to buy a house it looks a lot like him. It's one of the Pests favorite spots to be.

Nate in his free time is into robotics, which comes naturally since he is a robot.

And it saves him money on repairs.


Nate speaks casual English, but can speak urban slang just like Mac.

He also owns a gold encrusted sniper rifle which he uses in tandem with his jet pack when things get out of control.

(One of his scrapped nicknames is Jet Pack Sad Sack.)


Nate is the rock of the group he is very responsible and loyal. And always willing to help.

He was inspired by Super Mario's Bob-omb.

Clippy is Punchy's sweet heart. She's kind of like Hulk's Betty to him she can stop him from tearing things down.


Clippy's a retired barber and a ghost. She still owns her own male and female barbershop. She goes back a runs it every now and then.

Felisha is one of her regulars, Felisha can get really bad hair days.


Brush is her tool and business partner, they're good friends. Felsiha actually treats Clippy and Brush nicely, as for the rest of the Pests? well... no.


Clippy is very kind and compassionate, and is full of advice, and nags from time to time.


She all about manners and not being rude.


In a concept episode she got really anxious when Brush was away from her for a long time.

In a never released episode she started a weight loss camp for the Pests after they started getting rotund one episode.

Her camp was over the top, it had a squadron of robot Clippy's as security guards and it was nearly impossible to escape the premises.


For Platformer Pests veterans her name used to be Groomy until groom became a slur.

I think Clippy is a better name for her because it's a double entendre it represents the sound of scissors clipping also "clip" is computer term for passing through solid objects. (she can do that too)


Unlike Punchy she can go invisible.

Her special power is seeing and revealing ghosts and ghostly objects (it was a reference to Pinky's ability in Pacman World 3)


In her alive form she's a sweet old lady a perfect fit for Old Man Punchy.

She belongs to the species of creature named Cartwheel Carey.

Brush is high strung and hyper. Whenever some one uses him to brush their hair he builds up static electricity.

Which makes him even more jumpy and stressed out. He can also shoot out bolts and can surround himself in an

taser sphere.


His battle cry is Fricta Frica Frica! He repeats things three times in row sometimes.

He tires himself out often.


He does has moments when he's level headed, he isn't always having an episode that would be unrealistic.


Brush hardly gets his time in the lime light and can be found demanding recognition for his deeds.


Brush knows a lot of secrets ,glitches, and back doors to their world. He's also into mad science.

He's smarter than all of the other Pests they just have trouble seeing it through all his sporadic behavior.


He's very tender and friendly.


Brush is also one of kind, there are no other minions that look like him.


He's started off as one of Mac's concept design iterations. I liked his design so much that I decided to add him as his own character into the story, funny Mac is friends with an alternate Mac.


If you like Wario and Waluigi then you'll like anti-Pests.

iu_1390193_24770076.png

JUMPING JACK CAM is the opposite of Mac follows the rules, has no sense of humor, no creativity, no comprehension of slang and only speaks proper English.

He's well mannered, is a vegetarian, doesn't know anything about computers, reads books, and collects medieval daggers and tools.


BURROWING BETTY is opposite to Flying Felisha instead she's curious, energetic, warm and loving, and only wants to help.

She's not too good with words, and she has a drill hat that can make her burrow underground instead of fly.


TICKLY is the opposite of Punchy he laughs a lot, always smiles, and is goofy. And instead of Punching he tickles.

He's super flexible and stretchy instead of being static like Punchy is.


MESSY is the opposite of Clippy she's rude, blunt, and shows no mercy. Instead of making other's look better she covers them in mud.


MUD BUCKET is opposite of Brush Mud Bucket is Messy's tool he's indifferent, has a relaxed demeanor, speaks very little. And doesn't care about learning or science, isn't aware of much. His mud is also full of water. Which is bad for electricity.


The Anti-Pests aren't even rivals of the Platformer Pest they're instead they're their an extended friend group.

Mac and Burrowing Betty are even dating, since him and Felisha getting together is an impossibility.


The rest of the cast

iu_1390194_24770076.webp

DOOMER has an overpowered giant foam finger that takes you out in one touch

He chases the Pests a lot, he's very sadistic and everything he says he yells at the top of his lungs.


RAGING RACHEL throws her shoes at you whenever you get her mad or do anything unexpected.


PINCH THE CAT is a smuggler and a thief he usually sells stolen goods at unreasonable prices.


YELLOW BOMBA-GHOST is the opposite of Nate, and no he's not associated with the Anti-Pests.

He doesn't explode. And is happy and positive all the time.


DREZGON is a champion in the Unbearabowl he's a digital specter.

With ability to conjure wire frame cubes to thrash you with and capture you inside of.


HELPER is the opposite of Doomer he carries a tennis racket that revives.

He whispers everything.


DEGG is a homeless striped ghost he's speaks in non sequitur, and uses a giant femur bone in combat.

He's a distant friend of the Pests.


MC.EATIE is the mascot and Ceo of the Mc.Eaties burger restaurant corporation, Mac's idol.

He's a glutton and makes all sorts of questionable business decisions.


SANTA the jolly defender of Christmas gifted with flight super strength and Christmas magic, don't mess with his holiday or else he'll get the colossal automaton named The Nut Cracker to smash you with his massive hammer.


MONDOKU he was once Mac's pet until Mac fed him candy then he gained intelligence and unlimited anime powers now he lives his own life now.


FARMER JIB gets his cows stolen by aliens a lot, he ain't afraid to tussle with a space man.

He provides Mc.Eatie co with a lot of beef and lard for their burgers. No that not a block of cheese in Mac's burger in the Tera Tie diorama that's all lard.


IRON SIGHT the thug with eye patch and shot gun sleeves, him and Mac have a history together along side his cronies the Golden Tooth and NEO MATIC the neapolitan ice cream fashioned thug with machine gun sleeves.


Charles Syntax is the final Platformer Pest, I never got to use him in any story, he's a game modifier he can design and program. He has a Jamaican accent and is usually giddy. He out performs Mac at hacking.


ROLLER GEIST

She’s a female ghost version of a Rolly Bot

an enemy idea from my first ever 3d platform game named Wuzzit Wonder Land.


OFFICER SAMMICH

He’s a post retired ghost cop of Shimmer Scape City. He’s very laid back.

He often pursues the Platformer Pests and jailed Mac once. His name was inspired by a comment my mother said when she first saw him “He looks like he eats sandwiches”


PRIVATE ELDOZA(officer in training)

Eldoza is a rooky she’s mostly an officer to supply her vlog with content. She’s an electric ghost.


COOK BRUNT

The cook at Mac’s favorite Mc.Eatie’s restaurant Mac orders often. Brunt calls him Mac but that’s just what he calls everyone.


RINSE THE SMELLY HOBO

the holiday representative for Griftmas Mac’s twisted thug modification of Christmas.

This skunk broke into minions houses, swapping gifts from house to house.

This provoked the wrath of Santa.


Well that's all there is to tell. thanks for reading.
