Play Muppets, The Online

I picked up The Muppets on Game Boy Color back in 2000, a time when licensed platformers were everywhere. It was published by NEC Interchannel, and it felt like a standard release for the handheld, aiming to capture the show's humor in a simple adventure. You could tell it was made for younger players who were fans of the characters.

You control Kermit the Frog and Animal, switching between them to use their unique abilities. Kermit can jump higher and use a basic slap attack, while Animal smashes through certain obstacles with his strength. The main goal is to rescue the other Muppets by navigating side scrolling levels, collecting items like film reels, and defeating themed enemies. The game progresses screen by screen, with some light puzzle solving that usually involves finding a key or hitting a switch. The pacing is straightforward, though the controls can feel a bit stiff during precise jumps. It's a simple game that captures the feeling of a Saturday morning cartoon adventure.
