The Muppets: On With The Show brings back Jim Henson's beloved Muppets to the Game Boy Advance. In this game, designed for kids, the player helps the Muppets create a new Muppet show by participating in six fun activity games. These activities involve playing different roles, such as racing, fighting, and music-making, with the goal of earning stars.
The gameplay varies for each activity, but the core idea remains the same: complete tasks and collect stars. Each activity has an explanation screen that outlines the objectives, making it easy to understand what's required. After completing each activity, the player's score is displayed as a number of out of five stars. The game offers two options: Story mode, which provides an easier experience for younger players, or Activity mode, where players can choose their own activities and play at their own pace.
