Winx Club: Quest for the Codex is a video game developed by Powerhead Games and published by Konami for the Nintendo DS and the Game Boy Advance. It was released on November 13, 2006, in North America, and on December 8, 2006, in Australia and Europe. After surviving their first year at Alfea School for Fairies and defeating the wicked witches – Icy, Darcy, Stormy, and the Army of Decay – the girls of the Winx Club are called into action against a new foe, the powerful Lord Darkar.
Each member of the Winx Club must use her unique powers in order to protect the four pieces of the Codex, a powerful emblem that would grant Lord Darkar unimaginable powers. Now, Icy, Darcy, and Stormy have left Cloud Tower School for Witches to join wicked Lord Darkar in his evil quest. And with superpowers given to them by Lord Darkar, the witches are more powerful than ever! Eager to collect the four Codex pieces, Lord Darkar and the witches will stop at nothing in their plot to take over the universe!
Based on the second season, the game consists of characters talking and playing the Winx‘s mini games, exploring more or less all the most important scenes. In the game, the player controls the Winx fairies in order to save the pixie friends of their newfound friend Layla. The story is told through cutscenes, and gameplay consists mainly of shooting enemies in a typical side-scrolling fashion. The game is broken up into six different mini-games. These include variants of Dance Dance Revolution and Pipe Dream, and destroying bugs that are invading a garden.
