JumpStart/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: Ms. Grunkle in the original 4th grade game. Time for an epic showdown...this is the teacher who kidnapped your classmates, turned them into monsters, and has been taunting you throughout the entire game. Literally all you do is hold out a wand and she flies away.

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: The original 4th grade game. You are a kid (implied to be a 4th grader, which is ''about eight to ten years old''.) who came to class to find that it is now a nightmarish building looking much like something out of a [[Tim Burton]] movie or the ''[[Beetlejuice (animation)|Beetlejuice]]'' [[Animated Adaptation]]...and to find your class missing. You are then put onto a haunted island almost completely alone with only two people helping you and even then, they only tell you where to go next. And then you find out what happened to your classmates - they were all turned into monsters, and locked in Ms. Grunkle's attic. At any time, she will come by to taunt you, and her minions will jump out and ask you a question. You also have a candle in the corner and if it goes out, you'll be teleported to the labyrinth. Most kids have been [[Properly Paranoid]] to not let that happen, though, because the labyrinth can be ''quite'' hard to traverse (Being a first person maze, after all). Oh, and when you go to rescue the kids, your first four attempts you run into Ms. Grunkle who just teleports you to the labyrinth because she wants to have fun with you. [[Oh Crap]]. This is almost like a strange hybrid between [[Survival Horror]] and [[Edutainment Game]]!

* [[That One Level]]: That stupid, stupid crossword game in ''5th Grade''. Many people just brute-forced it because it'd show you the right words...and then later on, it ''doesn't''. It doesn't help that it has no difficulty slider, and evne then it's assumed the difficulty slider only shows you the right levels. So it takes ''forever'' to solve.

* [[Villain Decay]]: Polly in ''JumpStart Typing''. In her first appearance in ''[[Jump Start Adventures 3rd Grade Mystery Mountain]]'' she was a [[Enfant Terrible|bratty devil child]] who acts as the [[Big Bad]] for the whole game. Then in ''JumpStart Typing'' she gets just uppity enough to cause the plot and afterwards is [[Heel Face Turn|convinced to be good]] for the remainder of the game. It's obvious why they did this, though. Look up ''[[Jump Start Adventures 3rd Grade Mystery Mountain]]'' [http://www.amazon.com/Vivendi-71092-JumpStart-3rd-Grade/dp/B00004TLO0 on Amazon] and witness the parent reviewers [[But Not Too Evil|upset about Polly's attitude toward the player]].
