Look, this game is fine.
I used to play it as a kid and the copy I played here is the same one, so it did have some crash issues.

I at least finished World 1, based on the show's pilot episode, and played enough of World 2 to find out every world is exactly the same.

The game is a 3D collectathon with a focus on the stylus (obviously).
Run to a thing, rub the stylus on the touchscreen, grab the things and repeat.

There's also a "busted bar" which goes up as you do things, but you can delay the effects if you have the items that are surprisingly rare.
If the bar hits 100 you get to play a shitty Pac-Man clone.

If you buy a copy that works it's definitely one to pick up and play while you're doing boring stuff and it definitely feels like a "shut the kids up" game that's fun for a few hours.

As a 23 year old, it's quite monotonous and since my cartridge is quite volatile it isn't worth continuing, really..

all of the characters and none of the charm

i owned this game as a kid and i decided it was high time i, you know, actually beat it? so i went back and finished it. and yeah, it sucks. it’s awful, actually. the performance is some of the worst i’ve seen on a ds game period. the writing is word-for-word from the show, but with none of the jokes. the platforming is incredibly basic, and it’s super easy. it’s a game for kids for the ds, did you expect a masterpiece?

i’m not gonna get into this game too much. it was probably some developers first game, and their first experience in the real game dev environment. i’m sure someone who worked on it is very proud of their contributions. i’m glad this game kept me occupied as a kid, even if i never got past the first level
