Patches


 * Not to be confused with Patch from the 101 Dalmatians franchise.

Patches is a Dalmatian pup who's the main player in 101 Dalmatians: Escape from DeVil Manor. He makes a brief cameo in 101 Dalmatians when Herbert is testing the demo game.

The player takes control of him, as he, along with Whizzer, try to escape.

Biography (from game)
When Horace and Jasper capture the puppies, Patches and Whizzer are able to escape. He asks Whizzer what the plan is, before Whizzer explains when they escape, they find Pongo and Perdita and come back for the rest of the Pups.

As the two make their way around the mansion, Patches is usually the one who takes a look at stuff. Such examples would be that he operates the dumbwaiter controls, or tries to jump from the bed to open a window lever.

In one scene, the two pups find a sandwich. Patches eats the whole thing in one bite, to where this upsets Whizzer.

When the two later escape the manor, Patches is the one who suggests that they hide in the mine cart, starting the chase through the mine.

When the Puppies are rescued, and Cruella is defeated, Roger presents a collar medal to Patches, welcoming him into the family. This welcome possibly suggests that Patches is part of the other 84 pups.

Design
It is possible his role in the game was originally intended for Patch, however the puppies sprites are usually mirrored if they are looking in another direction, so the non-mirror symmetric design of Patch would cause an issue. So, Patches is Patch with his patch on both sides. Another item supporting this, is that Patch has a white ear on the side of his patch eye, so Patches has two patches and two white ears.

Trivia
