In The Powerpuff Girls: Battle Him, players take control of Bubbles, the sweet and gentle member of the Powerpuff Girls, as she embarks on a solo mission to rescue the citizens of Townsville from the clutches of the villainous HIM.

To aid her quest, Bubbles can collect power-ups that enhance her flying abilities and unlock special attacks. One such attack is the Sonic Scream, which temporarily stuns enemies and is replenished by collecting Black Chemical X bottles. She can also summon her fellow Powerpuff Girls using color-coded hotlines found throughout the levels. Players can gather a variety of collectibles, including: Sugars and spices for extra continues; Keys to unlock doors; Candy hearts to boost health; Trading cards (12 unique ones per game) that can be saved, viewed, and exchanged via the Game Link accessory. The game features battery-backed memory, allowing automatic saving after each completed goal. [1]

Total Game Boy rated the game 80 out of 100, calling its connectivity with the other Powerpuff Girls Game Boy titles "a real value for money" but criticizing its "aimless" gameplay, "ultra annoying" sound effects, and "extremely small and hard to control" character sprites. [6]
The Atlanta Constitution said, "Young girls looking for a game to call their own should take a ride with this stylish title for the Game Boy Color". [7]
