Play Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas : The Pumpkin King Online
You play as Jack Skellington, chucking exploding pumpkins and blasting bugs with a frog gun while exploring Halloween Town’s twisted alleys. Zero the ghost dog helps sniff out hidden paths between the movie-perfect spooky tunes.
I picked up The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Pumpkin King for the Game Boy Advance back in 2005. It was developed by TOSE and published by Buena Vista Games, a pretty typical licensed title for the handheld's later years. The GBA had a ton of these side-scrolling action platformers, and this one fit right in, offering a solid, if familiar, way to spend some time in that universe.
You control Jack Skellington through a series of levels set in Halloween Town and beyond. Your main goal is to stop Oogie Boogie's latest scheme, which involves fighting through hordes of enemies and navigating environmental hazards. Jack attacks by throwing explosive pumpkins, and he can also use a frog gun to shoot projectiles at a distance. The levels are designed for methodical, screen-by-screen exploration, with some light puzzle-solving that often requires using Zero's ghostly bark to reveal hidden platforms or items. The pacing is deliberate, and the difficulty feels fair, with a steady learning curve that doesn't overwhelm. It feels like a competent, straightforward adventure that captures the movie's mood without trying to reinvent the wheel.
