Rugrats - Time Travelers (USA, Europe) (GBC)

In Rugrats - Time Travelers for Game Boy Color, players embark on an exciting time-traveling adventure with the beloved Rugrats babies.

The story begins when Dil accidentally breaks Stu's time machine, causing items from various eras to be scattered and history to become scrambled. Your mission is to help Tommy Pickles and his friends – including Chuckie, Phil, Lil, Angelica, and Kimi – travel to different points in time to retrieve the lost artifacts and restore the correct historical timeline.

The gameplay primarily features a platformer style combined with light puzzle-solving. Each level transports you to a unique historical period, from prehistoric times with dinosaurs and ancient Egypt with pyramids, to the pirate era and even the future. Players control one of the Rugrats babies, each possessing distinct special abilities that must be leveraged to overcome obstacles and solve puzzles.

For instance, Tommy can perform basic actions and climb, Chuckie might be timid but sometimes has surprising actions, while Phil and Lil can crawl through small gaps or stack on top of each other to reach higher areas. Angelica can use her cunning to interact with adults or distract them. Switching between characters is key to progression, as many small tasks often require a combination of different abilities.

The main objective in each stage is to find and collect important items that have been lost in time. Additionally, players need to gather cookies for points and can discover secrets or hidden areas. The game features enemies and obstacles appropriate for each era, requiring players to avoid or find ways to bypass them. With its cute 2D graphics and cheerful music characteristic of the series, Rugrats - Time Travelers offers a lighthearted adventure experience suitable for all ages.
