This Shrek-themed fairy tale adventure allows players to step into the shoes of Oscar the fish as he navigates the vibrant and treacherous streets of Reef City. Players must hustle, dance, and fight to evade sharks, settle debts, and uncover clues while striving to become the town's most famous hero.
Story
Royal Ball
In the beautiful land of Far Far Away, King Harold and Queen Lillian have received word that their daughter, Princess Fiona™, has found her happily ever after. The royal couple decides to throw a grand ball for Fiona and her new prince charming, unaware that her husband is the ogre Shrek®.
Shrek thinks going home is a “really bad idea” and is unhappy about facing the parents and castle guards who locked Fiona in a dragon's tower. Princess Fiona and Donkey convince him it will be a good time, and they depart for Far Far Away to begin a twisted fairy tale adventure.
Reef City
Oscar is a smooth-talking little fish working his way up the food chain and searching for an easy path to Fame and Fortune. He finds himself in a jam more often than not, managing to get into troublesome situations even though he is not a troublemaker.
Oscar works at the Whale Wash, which does not pay the bills, and owes his boss, Sykes, 5,000 clams. The sharks are out for him, and it seems Oscar can't go anywhere without finding trouble.

You will help Oscar hustle to stay one step ahead of the sharks and become the hip hero of Reef City. Your skills help Oscar pay bills, avoid danger, and rise to fame.

Storybooks
Each storybook contains five chapters, and there are five storybooks total. When you first begin, you will only be able to choose the first storybook. When you complete all the chapters in a storybook, the next book will unlock.
Collecting Coins
As you progress through the levels, you'll find coins scattered randomly about. These belong to the Leprechaun. If you find all the coins in each level he has dropped them in, he might give you something special.
To collect a coin, simply walk over it. You can keep track of how many you've retrieved using the counter in the top right corner.
Bonus Levels
The Leprechaun is hiding somewhere in each level. If you find him, he will warp you to a special arena where you can play a bonus game. The bonus game changes based on the character used to find the Leprechaun:
•
Shrek: Use the mushroom to keep the three blind mice from falling! They will bounce off the mushroom when it is under them. If any of the mice fall to the ground, the bonus game ends. You will receive one point for every bounce.
•
Donkey: Don't fall off the moving springboard! The springboard moves from side to side, going faster the longer you stay on top. If you fall off the platform, the bonus game ends. You will receive one point for every jump.
•
Puss in Boots: Don't get burned by the candle flame! There are two ropes, one on each side, with a candle in the center. Use Puss in Boots' sliding technique to jump over the candle's flame, which slowly moves up. If you get burned, the bonus game ends. You will receive one point for every dodge.
Movie Scenes
At the beginning of each chapter, scenes from the Shrek 2 film will be shown. Press the A Button to page through the scenes. Press START to skip all of them.
In-Game Display
In the top left corner of the screen, there is a portrait of the character you are currently controlling. If you are in a level where you can control more than one character, the larger portrait indicates the character that you are currently controlling.

Platforms, Switches, and Push Blocks
Logs and crates are found throughout the game. They are useful for reaching hard-to-reach areas because any character can stand on them. They can be stacked and other items can be placed on top of them. Shrek can pick them up, and Donkey can kick them forward.
Mushrooms and springboards can be used to reach very high areas. They can be moved around and stacked like logs. Certain types of tree limbs and flagpoles can be used as springboards; they cannot be moved but can be body-slammed by Shrek for extra height.
Team Efforts and Surfaces
Many platforms require a team effort to activate them. This kind of platform has a white gauge. The number in red indicates the number of characters that must stand on the platform to make it fall.
Some surfaces are sloped, such as wires and ropes. Only Puss in Boots can use these to his advantage, as he can easily climb up and slide down these surfaces.
