You start out with a News flash, even if they did the "MUPPET NEWS FLASH" with some shoddy animation would have been nice, but sadly no. Instead we find out that Ms Piggy is PIGNAPPED. And the suspect is Dr Grump. Who the hell is Dr. Grump, why not have a character from the show. There are plenty of evil type characters to choose from to have has a boss/enemy, any of the monsters would do. But nope, we get Dr Grump. I wonder if hes related to Forrest Gump?

The controls in this game suck. And not just for the Gonzo level, but all the levels. The characters seem to go where they want to go. Maybe they will turn, maybe they won't, I guess it all depends on what Fozzy/Kermit is feeling at the time I press the left button. LEFT...LEFT........yeah, thats it, go RIGHT!!!!...It was obvious I was pressing the right button. Not only does the characters not respond to the controls, but each level has the character sorta sliding around the screen. The game has a feel like they are all on ice.
Another thing is when you get hit and take damage. Like most games when you get hit, you flash for a couple seconds and you are invincible to another attack. A great thing added to most games so the computer can't take cheap shots. It gives you that last chance to get out of a situation. Well, when you take damage here, you blink as if you are invincible, but NOPE...you still take damage. And the the BOUNCE effect occurs, where you will just bounce off a enemy and the screen side until all your life is gone. In the Gonzo level alone, I would have to say that I lost about 4 lives in the matter of 15 sec. Mainly because the computer randomly drops you in the level and doesn't care where it puts you, even on top of enemy's.

So Here are is comparison of what the levels currently look like and what I've added to them to make them a awesome Ass Blast Fest!!!
1) First level is Kermit going down stream in his raft. He hits rocks and logs and is sucked into whirle pools.

If I am going to bang into things and can't control my raft how I like to control it, then I think being chased by a shark will add the element of panic to a otherwise annoying and boring level. Better get moving fast or that shark will get ya.


2) Second we have animal driving in a bumper car and ramming barrels and flags and avoiding oils slicks, cherry bombs and bumpers.

I figure we make the level interesting by adding drums and cymbals and now animal has to hit the them using his left and right arms that would correspond to the A and B button. That could be the achievement part of the game. play a perfect tune to the end. Then for the destructive part of animal, you could give him saw blades a the front of his car and he could mow down Gonzo's chickens with a Poof of feathers when he hits. Then if he misses with his saw blades he could finish them off with a big ball and chain attached to his neck that he would tow behind him and smash anything he may have missed.

3) The stupidly hard gonzo game, where he floats around and shoot little pebbles at rocks and weird looking aliens.

Although this wouldn't make the game easier, but would make for more entertainment. Gonzo could shoot out his army of chickens and they would attach to the enemy and peck the thing until it explode, killing the chicken as well. Not knowing that they are all going on Kamikaze missions.

4) Poor Fossy here wanders around the maze waiting for bow ties to appear so he can get it and then move on to the next maze. While he can collect hearts and bones to toss at the bads guys, these things just stop them for a couple secs. Its the most boring level outta the entire game.


And thats what I think will make this game tolerable...not playable...but just tolerable. The game play is so simple, you can easily see that no thought or innovation was put into this game. Its not even bad enough to be good.

Sounds pretty horrible!
And that would totally be a game I could have bought way back then, because it had the Muppets in it.
Where do you get all those old NES games?
From the NES Fairy....but seriously, I can't tell you over the all knowing interweb, cause THEY are always listening..so I will have to tell you later...when THEY are not listening.
