Henry Hatsworth and the Puzzling Adventure!

It's a silly game with a serious mix of platformer and puzzle. It was on the DS and the top screen was the side scrolling level that you had to jump, climb and shoot your way through. However, defeated enemies fell to the bottom screen where a constantly rising tide of colored blocks threatened to rise to the top. You had to switch periodically to the bottom screen and clear the blocks or the defeated enemies would return and attack you like the evil sun from Super Mario. The plot was as goofy as they come, all about gathering the outfit of the 'Perfect Gentleman' and the text was vocalized as Mario-like noises, but based on English accents and occasional British-isms like 'tally-ho!' or 'Guverner!' instead of an Italian flavor. The bosses are all unique not just in the top screen, but in how they affect your puzzle screen below as well.

It's a bit short at 10-ish hour on a basic playthrough, but all-in-all a solid mix of two genres I love.
