The Brainies is a puzzle game for the Super Nintendo where you guide four different colored Brainies onto a matching spot. You control a cross-hair, pressing fire to take or give control of motion to each Brainy. Loss of time results in a life lost.
The challenge lies in controlling only the direction of movement for each Brainy, which continues until it hits an obstacle, wall, or another Brainy.
Obstacles such as arrow-shaped changes and items to be picked up add complexity to the game.
