M&M's Shell Shocked was released on September 30, 2001 for American markets by Simon & Schuster Interactive. A platform game largely in the vein of Crash Bandicoot, players control Yellow in an effort to escape from their miniature counterparts (M&M minis), however Red and Green also make an appearance. On July 20, 2002 the game was released in Europe by JoWooD Productions. This game is very similar to M&M's The Lost Formulas (being the PS1 remake of the said PC game) except there is not a Math Zone, the name was changed, power ups were added, and the levels were either shortend or slightly altered. Due to hardware and CD ROM limitations, the bonus level "Pipe Down" was removed.
