Queria jogar algo diferente, algo que me surpreendesse, e muppet monster adventure não foi diferente, tem uma história bem simples para o público adequado, pena que chega a ser cansativo, com tanto cenários e a maioria sempre fazer a mesma coisa, que cheguei a desistir por agora . Mas um dia eu pretendo terminar e dar uma análise com mais clareza!
The most precious video game memory I have. So many beautiful and weird level designs, funny dialogue, and the best soundtrack I've ever heard. I dream in these textures sometimes.
o jogo mais importante da minha vida
talvez ele não seja o melhor jogo lançado, tem bastante defeitos e é um pouco repetitivo, entretanto sem ele talvez eu não tivesse jogado nenhum outro na minha vida.. por isso devo tudo a ele

Halloween + muppets should be carte blanche to go wild with level theming but it seems like they didn't have the time or money to pull it off, levels are so big and abstracted they lack much of a sense of place + just a sort of tedious collectathon
Wish I'd had this as a kid. A bit of an easier introduction to Spyro style open world platformer, this is surprisingly much more fun than you'd expect from a children's Muppets game. Surprisingly putting 2 lesser (but delightful) characters in the spotlight Robin and Pepe, this game is still a treat.
I had heard this game talked up as a hidden gem for a very long time, and I finally decided to play through it alongside a few other Halloween-vibed games last October. Turns out, Muppet Monster Adventure is a bit of a mixed bag.
Bunsen Honeydew's uncle has passed away, and his friends have come with him to said uncle's mansion to support Bunsen while the will is read. However, when the door is answered by a shadowy monstrous figure, Robin the Frog instantly faints. When he awakes some time later, Bunsen tells him that nearly all of their friends have been turned into Monsters, with only the two of them plus Beaker and Pepé the Prawn escaping. Robin must use gadgets from Bunsen to capture the "evil energy" in enemies and in their friends to make things right again.
It's clear from the beginning that this is a Spyro clone, you could have told me it was a Muppet-themed Spyro spinoff and I would have believed you. Unfortunately, that means that Muppet Monster Adventure copies Spyro's "L2 and R2 control the camera" mechanics and does NOT have Dualshock support. The lack of analog controls is the absolute worst thing about the game, resulting in a Platformer in which movement is more frustrating than fun.
If you're able to get a handle on the controls, what awaits you is mostly good! We've got:
- Full voice acting by the original Muppets cast (Pepé takes on the role that Bottles played in Banjo-Kazooie, so you'll hear from him a LOT, which is an absolute delight)
- Clever and often funny dialogue
- A contender for the greatest OST on the PS1 (seriously, the music is the best aspect of the game)
- Way more levels and bosses than I anticipated
However, not unlike Spyro 1, the gameplay is ultimately very samey and repetitive, and after five levels of collecting 100% of all items, things started to feel pretty stale, and I decided not to force myself to slog through the rest.
If you love Muppets and the OG Spyro game, this is worth checking out! But if you're just a regular ol' 3D Platformer fan like me, it might not be enough to hold your attention.
The soundtrack really IS incredible though.

It's kinda sad that this is one of the only good muppets games, and to be honest it's not even that good.
An overlooked PS1 platformer. This game is a real gem and more people should play it. It's a tad clunky, but it's still brilliant! There's a lot of variety in the gameplay, there's a lot of fun Muppets fan service and all in all, a lot of fun to be had!
if you clicked on the profile for a game called "Muppet Monster Adventure" you already know what you're in for
Found out about this game only a year or two ago and how a lot of people see it as somewhat of a hidden gem of a game on the original PSOne. After finally playing through it, I definitely get it, even if I wasn't necessarily wowed by it like most were. Still, it's a very fun Spyro clone with The Muppets. Levels are really well designed to loop around and there are 1 or 2 side challenges that you can find in each level that grant you extra collectibles. The 24 levels are also really well varied and have a lot to love about, not to mention that all levels are also made better by the absolute banger of a soundtrack this game has. The game also rewards completionists pretty well with a trove of fun extras for replaying levels to find special coins. The big downsides about the game would have to be that all the boss battles are pretty underwhelming, and while most of the game is easy, the can be surprisingly brutal if you die during a level. You can pick up items to grant you extra health slots, but if you accidentally die or mis time a jump, you permanently lose the health upgrade, and it doesn't respawn ever again even if you reset a level. Collecting the extra coins, while fun rewards await, is incredibly tedious since they can only be obtained via replaying the level again and defeating the enemies where as before they would drop dark magic, now drop coins. This means you'll be playing levels twice at the minimum to completey 100% a level, many MANY times if you continually die in one or fail to find every enemy on your first go around. The ending is also pretty bad and underwhelming, but you do get a pretty cool song for beating the game. Still, I pleasantly enjoyed myself while playing through the game and definitely recommend trying it out. I think they'd even be able to tweak some things and make the game better if they decided to give it a remake or remaster for modern consoles.
Tive o previlegio de jogar quando pequeno mas só fui zerar agora. Jogo bem bacana com musicas boas mas que infelizmente se repetem muito mas de resto tudo certo.
Surprisingly good.
This game legit feels like someone made a ROM hack of the PS1 Spyro games, only it's a licensed Muppet title and you play as Robin, the frog Muppet whose most notable role was Tiny Tim in The Muppet Christmas Carol. The levels look like Spyro, the enemies look like Spyro, collecting all the Monster Energy feels like the gems in Spyro, and you even get a glide that feels like Spyro with the platforming based around gliding from higher spots in the level since you lack a double jump. It's utterly shameless in how much of it is cribbed from the Insomniac Spyro games.
However! While it is, indeed, a shameless Spyro clone with a Muppet-themed coat of paint, it playing and looking almost exactly like the PS1 Spyro games actually made me love this game. It helps that the soundtrack kicks ass and they actually got the Muppet performers to voice their characters.
