Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a 3D platformer where players control a baby from the Rugrats, navigating various themed worlds within a giant playset. The goal is to collect batteries to unlock higher levels and ultimately rescue stolen toys from Angelica, who has taken over the palace. Players will engage in mini-games like racing and object collection to progress.
Story
Tommy's daddy, Stu, has invented the bestest thing ever - The Play Palace 3000! Even Grandpa thinks it is fit for a queen and mean 'ol Angelica agrees. While daddy Stu is out looking for a few last parts (and Grandpa is asleep), Angelica takes over the palace and holds the babies favorite toys for ransom. Can you help the Rugrats take back the palace, claim what is rightfully theirs and dethrone the wicked queen Angelica?
Royal Ransom!
The wicked queen Angelica wants the babies to be her loyal subjects, so she has stolen all of the Rugrats' favorite toys! She is keeping them with her in the highest tower where she can look down on her lowly subjects and order them around.
You're going to have to go through all of the worlds of the Play Palace 3000, collecting big batteries to open up the higher tiers on the play set. Your toys are with Angelica at the very top. Get to your toys and dethrone that mean ol' queen. It's time for a baby revolution!
A baby's gotta do what a baby's gotta do!

Inside Tommy's backyard is the fantabulous Play Palace 3000. This castle-like playset has lots of different worlds you will have to travel through before you can get to Angelica.
