Developed by Tarantula Studios and published by Take 2 Interactive, Jim Henson's Muppets arrived on the Game Boy Color in 2000 as a platformer.
It landed about 2 years into the GBC's life. Other notable GBC releases from 2000 include Wario Land 3, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and Grand Theft Auto 2.
It is part of the The Muppets series. The series also appears on other systems with Muppet Adventure: Chaos at the Carnival (NES) and Muppet Pinball Mayhem (GBA). Tarantula Studios also made Grand Theft Auto 2, Austin Powers: Oh, Behave! and Austin Powers: Welcome to My Underground Lair! for the GBC.
This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.
Pick it if…
- you want to run, jump and explore
- you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
- you've played the GBC hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Jim Henson's Muppets is like
Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.
Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
