The Powerpuff Girls: Chemical X-Traction is a fighting game based off the engine of Tom and Jerry in "Fists of Furry". Contextually, there's a pie contest at the city of Townsville, and Bubbles adds Chemical X to the "perfect pie", which is eventually caught by Mojo Jojo and then eaten by all of Townsville's villains. Golly.

It also has the series' intro theme playing throughout the whole game.

Cheat Menu

GameShark codes D00E5E09 0004 800E5E09 0005 replace the audio settings submenu with a simple cheat mode. Outside of the font and the Townsville backdrop, the menu is majorly unchanged from Fists of Furry.

• Jom and Terry - increases the size of the player's models.
• Small is Beautiful - decreases the size of the player's models.
• Gravity Stinks - lowers gravity, making you capable of flying higher.

Debug Mode

GameShark code 8106B108 1440 replaces the in-game pause menu with a rather feature packed debug system, including a level select, an AI settings editor, various cheats and several other development options. The emulator/console may be need to be reset in order to make it work. It's quite crash prone, too.

Level Menus

A standard level select. It fails to display the correct stage names though.

Page 1		Page 2
Level Select	Map Name	Level Select	Map Name
Intro Map	Loads the startup screen with the rotating N64 logo.	Kitchen 1	Him's Lair
Kitchen 1	Pokey Oaks Kindergarten	Kitchen 1	Mojo's Volcano-Top Observatory
Kitchen 1	Townsville City Hall	Kitchen 1	Fuzzy's Shack
Kitchen 1	The Bank
Kitchen 1	Townsville City Dump

AI Menu

Allows you to edit the behaviour of the characters. Setting any of them OFF makes it player-controlled while ON makes them play automatically as if it were a demo. Selecting AI Param locks the game.

Cheat Menu

A way bigger menu than the one in the next section.

• Inf Time/Health/Ammo - switches infinite time, health and ammo, duh.
• Weap Cheat - doesn't seem to do anything.
• Char Select - allows you to change your character with the L and R-Triggers.
• P1/P2 Pickups - brings up a screen in which you can select bonus perks.
• Real Cheats - as if the previous options weren't enough, this option displays mirrored version of the hidden cheat select in the Options menu, albeit with different names.
  • Big John Little John - same as Jom and Terry.
  • Small is Beautiful - same as Small is Beautiful.
  • Walking on the Moon - same as Gravity Stinks.

Tools Menu

• Sound Events - locks the game.
• Balance Audio - a sound test for all the game's sound effects.
• Balance Music - similar sound test menu like the above, except this one is exclusively for the single music track in the game.
• Balance Tools - load/save function. Selecting Default crashes the game as it requires additional hardware/software.
• Video Tools - a simple menu for adjusting gamma, aliasing and dithering.
• Debug Tools:
  • Realcam - enables a different (unused?) camera mode.
  • Timer - displays some colourful bars on screen.
  • FPS - triggers a simple frames per second display.
  • Heap Monitor - shows several statistics for the game's resources.
  • Compensate - doesn't seem to do anything.
• QA Tools:
  • Freezeframe - freezes the game on the current frame.
  • Coords - shows the player's coordinates.

Unused Text

Offset A6D60 has a statement about textures and geometries by "Jim" (likely VIS staff member Jim McLeish).

Jim textures and geometries

A few bytes later, at A6D80 is this error message with many exclamation points.

!!!!!!!!!!!!! WARNING! RAM DATA HAS OVERRUN! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Starting at A916C are some links to various companies' sites, two of which didn't have any involvement in the making of this one. It's more than likely a leftover from Tom & Jerry in Fists of Furry, as NewKidCo and Ubisoft were that game's North American and European publishers, respectively.

At offset A9698 is the following text that was probably intended for when the game was ran on a different region system (eg: NTSC version on a PAL N64).

This game is not designed for use on this system.

Offset AA820 has placeholder text for the character selection menu.
