Kool-Aid Man

When the troublemaking Thirsties enact their plan of draining water out of the local swimming pool with their drinking straws, it's up to Kool-Aid Man to stop them!Kool-Aid man must gather up Kool-Aid soft drink mix in order to catch and put a stop to the Thirsties' scheme. The three ingredients are Water (W), Sugar (S), and Kool-Aid (K). If the Thirsties touch Kool-Aid Man, he gets bounced around the yard, losing time, and the pool gets drained further. If the Thirsties succeed in draining the pool, it's Game Over for Kool-Aid Man. If Kool-Aid Man succeeds, then he wins and goes on to the next level of difficulty. Oh Yeah!
