Muppets Party Cruise is a 2003party video game, based onThe Muppets franchise, developed byMass Media and published byTDK Mediactive for thePlayStation 2 andGameCube.
This was theMuppets' last video game before the franchise was acquired byThe Walt Disney Company in 2004.
Muppets Party Cruise has six playable characters:Kermit,Piggy,Fozzie,Gonzo,Animal andPepe, and six non-playable characters:Statler and Waldorf,Rowlf,Rizzo,Swedish Chef,Sam the Eagle,Bunsen andBeaker. The game contains 30 mini-games, 15 of which the player must unlock,[2] and five levels: the Engine Room, Crew's Quarters, Quality Cabins, Star Suites and Royal Staterooms. Players may also choose between a long and short cruise.
The currency is party favors that are accrued by unlocking additional party games from the menu, but during gameplay, players use cruise credits.[3][4]
In "long cruise" mode, players may freely roam a tiled cruise ship. They roll a die at the start of each round and may advance that number of spaces. Around the walls of the cruise ship are doors; entering the blue, red or green doors starts multiplayer mini-games, and entering the yellow doors rewards the player with lottery-style one-player games in which the player may win more cruise credits. When a player wins a mini-game accessed via a red, blue or green door, the player receives a party favor of that color. When a player accumulates enough party favors, the game is over and the total party favors collected by all players are added to the saved balance, which can unlock mini-games.[5]
In "short cruise" mode, the first player may select a mini-game in which everyone will compete, but no party favors are won.
The game received "average" reviews according to video gamereview score aggregatorMetacritic.[6]
