Somehow the time machine breaks down, and sends the friends to unexpectedly different time locations.
Now it's up to their friends - Animal and Kermit - to go to these locations and bring them back home.
Jim Henson's Muppets is an arcade game based on the TV program The Muppets Show .
Players control either Animal or Kermit to different time locations which hold their friends.
There are a total of 6 locations.
Players can freely choose the location they want to play.
Each location contains 3 selectable levels and an unlockable level (can only be played after finishing the selectable levels).
The selectable levels have the same objective: find your way to the goal.
The unlockable is where you encounter with a boss and save your friend.
Animal fights using his drum sticks, while Kermit throws paper planes at enemies.
Enemies (except the bosses) cannot identify the players' character, therefore don't fight at all.
They simply just move from side to side.
There are some items that aid players during the game: food (increase health), heart (give players one life), drum sticks (when playing as Animal)/paper planes (when playing as Kermit).
Pressing a combination of button can enable Animal and Kermit to use special moves: Animal's earthquake and Kermit's super high jump.
The graphics are in 2D.
Players can save their process by choosing "Save" in the level choosing menu.
At the beginning of a level or when players die, Statler and Waldorf will present exchanging a short conversation about the level.
About Game Boy Color
The Game Boy Color (1998) added a color screen to the original Game Boy formula while remaining backwards compatible with the entire existing cartridge library. Its colorful, semi-transparent cartridge shells make it a visually distinct platform for shelf collectors, and several late-cycle exclusives — released just before the Game Boy Advance took over — are notably harder to find complete today.
Gamevaro tracks Jim Henson's Muppets for Game Boy Color with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Jim Henson's Muppets to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GBC release dates back to 2000.
