Play Muppet Adventure Online

Muppet Adventure came out in 1990 for the Nintendo Entertainment System, developed by Jim Henson Interactive. It was one of those licensed games from the era that tried to capture the spirit of the show, but with the limitations and quirks of an 8-bit platformer. You don't see many people talk about it now, but it had a certain charm if you were a fan.

You control Kermit the Frog, moving screen by screen through themed levels like a swamp and a castle. The main goal is to rescue Miss Piggy, which involves a lot of jumping on platforms and avoiding enemies like falling coconuts or bees. You occasionally switch to other Muppets, like Fozzie throwing pies or Gonzo launching himself from a cannon, to solve specific obstacles. The pacing is slow, and the hit detection can be unforgiving, making some jumps feel more frustrating than fun. It feels like a clumsy but earnest attempt to turn Muppet chaos into something playable.
