Some of you may or may not remember a different sort of Renegade Kid game that was being teased years ago for release on the Nintendo DS. Then titled- "Maximillian and the Rise of the Mutant Mudds". The game was at first a 3D platformer involving a kid with a water pack on his back. He would spread water around to solve puzzles and beat enemies. It was similar to Mario Sunshine. After a rocky development history, the game was rumored to be heading to DSiWare, but then apparently canned by Renegade Kid. Now though, the game has been redesigned for the 3DS eShop and will now be a 2D platformer reminiscent of a Super Nintendo game (though with gimmicks to appeal to the 3D effect. Along with this announcement comes a new title and new information about the gameplay. We also have plenty of scans from Nintendo Power, please check the source at the bottom for these scans. [/p]
- Mutant Mudds is the new title
- 2D side-scrolling platformer
- published by Renegade Kid (first time they've published a game, and their own)

- plot remains identical
- Max has a water powered cannon and jetpack which he uses to defeat enemies which rise from the earth
