JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain Walkthrough (Robots 1-5)

[@chrystina]

Seeing Botley for the first time in roughly 17 years is like reuniting with an old friend❤️

[@josephthetech04]

Revisiting any JumpStart game in years is always like reuniting with old friends. The best example for me was DeeDee from Toddlers (2000). I had the game until about elementary school, then found videos of it on KZbin in 9th grade. Toddlers (2000) has a special place in my heart because it was the first JumpStart game I ever played.

[@hell5309]

And it really help's that he's literally exactly how you remember him!

[@chaosinorder9685]

I know right! It feels awesome

[@satamsonic4026]

Me in 2003: I haven’t played this game before. Me in 2024: this game is very old! I really wanna play it.

[@bigpapanacho4033]

😭🥹

[@bcat010]

you have no idea how excited seeing this on KZbin has made me. I haven't played this game in probably 15 years.

[@johnfantastic3234]

[@JenniferVarnadore]

I finally got the game so I could finally finish it. The nostalgia is real.

[@user-wf3om8wu2h]

Me too I still have the CD's XD

[@JenniferVarnadore]

That's awesome! I had to mount an iso.

[@samclarinet3]

Same here!!

[@walkingtree5]

This game mostly gave me the vibe of isolation. You, all alone in a huge place with a bunch of robots. It was serene in a way. Probably why I enjoy moments where I can have the house quiet and to myself.

[@tnhl77]

wow I really felt that

[@alejandrox6116]

Knowledge requires isolation

[@sterlingfelker6295]

it's such a strange game in comparison to the ones before it. 2nd grade had you hanging out with a cool frog in a secret clubhouse, and 3rd suddenly hurls you into this muted Victorian mountain of futurism.

[@alejandrox6116]

Sterling Felker - I think the creator of the 3 one was a different employed person with different ideas

[@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385]

Same. I played jumpstart 1,2, and 3 when I was younger. I'm 25. It really did something to me mentally besides just the nostalgic memories.

[@nearislespringdike3084]

This video is a trip to nostalgiatown.

[@mr.jes5e12oss2]

Me too. My Memories that I’ve been playing since 2009.

[@icyatlasartworks]

I still play this game. I'm thinking about speedrunning it.

[@icyatlasartworks]

@thanomyloans2585 it starts off at a school, though it's not really that important, since we just pick up the tool we need throughout the game. We play as the helper for a robot named Botley, on a mission to fix time after Professor Spark's daughter Polly Spark sends a bunch of his robots back through time to alter history so that she doesn't fail a history quiz.

[@lionchamp777]

Gods this is eerie. I spent a lot of time with this game when I was a child. And I'm seeing where a lot of things that stayed with me even though I forgot about the game. I even forgot the name of it! I had to search through a list of random educational games.

[@23Redspecial]

+lionchamp777 The vivid colors,jumping objects when you put the cursor over them, voices, wild and creative general design and sound fx had me feelin the same way.

[@23Redspecial]

+lionchamp777 jumpstart 5th grade was creepy as fuck

[@demiaguayo5046]

Me too!

[@101Volts]

I had to search Botley's name. That stayed with me.

[@misslucywucy]

never tought it as eerire until i grew up lol

[@RaspberryPastry]

"I covered my tracks by leaving five clues all over the mountain" THAT IS NOT COVERING YOUR TRACKS, THAT IS INSTIGATING YOUR DEFEAT

[@101Volts]

I'm guessing she just wants to play around with Botley. Maybe she also thinks that she'll be in deep trouble if she doesn't let him try to fix the world, but that seems to be a stretch.

[@HotelBedSheets]

the nostalgia is so damn strong it hurts.

[@rae615]

the fact that i was convinced this game was a fever dream and it didn’t actually exist bc every time i tried to explain it to someone, they literally thought i was hallucinating. i cannot believe i found it just by googling random things like, “space robot educational computer game late 90s”. THE NOSTALGIA IS AMAZING

[@TheJokerMan2]

Don’t know if you ever played treasure mountain as well….. when I looked this up that game was another video and triggered a “fever dream” memory. Def real 😅

[@Daniel-wv7lj]

A video I was watching mentioned the old game "putt putt". I immediately got a wave of nostalgia and went searching for all the old games I played as a kid I'll never forget my makeshift computer desk on milk crates either 😢😢😢

[@PunmasterSTP]

I just found my way to this video after asking Grok (xAI's chatbot) to recommend some 3D educational 90s games because I was in the mood for some nostalgia. I'd never played any of the JumpStart games, but I probably would have loved this as a kid!

[@PunmasterSTP]

@@TheJokerMan2 Treasure Mountain and other Super Solvers games were some of my favorites as a kid!

[@JeremyJenner]

I remember I wanted to live in Mystery Mountain so bad as a kid because the worldbuilding that went into the game was so good.

[@BrianaLynn7]

Every sound, every image, every single part of this makes me want to go back to being a kid.

[@RaspberryPastry]

Oh my god, this game has actually held up really well. That's almost shocking

[@htf5555]

its weird its actually making me use a percent of my brain cells. these minigames are harder than skyrim puzzles

[@DDoubleYouMusic]

This was my favourite of all the jumpstarts. Wow the nostalgia

[@ipfrly89]

definitely better than the others by a cut

[@1HeatWalk]

It was the coolest out of all the jump starts!

[@annefrank7820]

this is one of the best games ever made, the amount of educational detail gone into this is phenomenal, a little easy when i played it way way back then though

[@zabu14]

imagine looking that cute and gets 170+ subs without any channel contents

[@arianagomez6635]

This game represents a dark period in my childhood, but watching this as an adult still gives me nostalgia. It’s bittersweet.

[@OhGiffle]

When Botly explained what happened, it always gave me the chills as a kid. It was spooky.

[@andreapatane4204]

I wonder what was spooky about Botley.

[@Klook6950]

Not as spooky as Haunted Island

[@penguinmaster7]

going to work on pogo sticks doesn't sound bad. You get lots of exercise, and traffic jams are completely eliminated.

[@puterboy2]

Yet, it didn’t have any background music on my copy. Same goes for Botley and Polly’s conversation outside the door.

[@aheroisamongus308]

Jake Rutigliano Yeah, same with my copy. I didn’t have background music in those scenes either.

[@yeb0i]

That robot in the kitchen scared the shit out of me as a kid.

[@tinfinz]

yeah he was intimidating

[@penguinmaster7]

Botley always seemed like the pal who would be down for anything. he's that friend who would go along with your dumbest of ideas despite how against it he may be.

[@Prismalpink]

Finally found the game I was obsessed with as a kid. Surprisingly, the older games are, the better quality they are. We don’t get games like these anymore.

[@greent26tube]

Honestly these games were fantastic- they had great theming, music and sounds, voice acting, were animated well and were mostly bug free. That’s AMAZING as a whole package and more than some games offer even today. This one was really special. Thanks so much for uploading.

[@CDHfilms]

Played this while in 3rd grade. Never completed it until one day during highschool, I remembered how fun it was. then I pulled it out of the closet. spend just two weeks completing it and honestly I learned more than I ever did in high school. GOOD TIMES.

[@rottengirl7852]

[@tenchimuyo69]

I did too because my older cousin had it. But I was a dumb kid.

[@nickkelley9139]

+tenchimuyo69 Maybe it has to do with you having a longer attention span.

[@torianmcneill3794]

Nick Kelley Polly looks like and sounds similar to Dee Dee from Dexters Laboratory do you agree?

[@nickkelley9139]

Torian McNeill In look, yes. In voice, no.

[@AustinNebbia]

This is so wild. I used to play this game on the computers at my local library when I was about 6. Twenty years later literally the only things I've clearly remembered were bits of the opening in the classroom ("the Statue of Licorice!") and, much more vividly, the bit in the art gallery around 1:25:00 about Georgia O'Keefe. It's crazy how much stuck with me from that: Botley's design, the room, the exact wording of the question, the way Mrs. Beasley says "GEORGia", the portrait of the artist being blue. So amazing to see it again.

[@RaspberryPastry]

I forgot how fucking lit the music is in this game, the hell

[@acdesi]

Deep down, I feel like I am who I am today because of this game.

[@saviorxself20]

Core memory unlocked watching this. Used to play this all the time at my grandparent’s house growing up. Helped me in school and was always so fun to play.

[@Terestrasz]

I remember the first time I did the painting game wherein I drew a little cartoon figure of a boy in the house. Polly kept saying "Okay... so where's the boy?" and I eventually drew circles around him with a bunch of arrows, only for Polly to say "Okay, so where's the boy?" I literally wrote "RIGHT HERE, STUPID!" before I realized "oh wait - this is what she wants" so then I put the boy in... and it looked freaking hilarious.

[@strawberrysoulforever8336]

Did you put this on TV Tropes? Someone on there mentioned this exact situation (same picture and reaction) except they said what they wrote was "LOOK HERE MORON".

[@101Volts]

I did the same darn thing over and over (minus "WAKE UP, STUPID!") and I asked for my Mom to help me. Hours and hours later, I found out you're supposed to just drop in the other characters.

I'm here cause I remember being terrible at the constellation parts, and now that I'm trying to learn constellations I wanted to see how I'd do at this mess without booting up my rotting childhood pc

But anyways, I can still remember the emptiness I felt when flying around the biosphere with no music. And I've the feeling the music wasn't working in other parts too. It's possible I messed with the music somehow though idk. And that picture thing IS really weird! It sounds like I probably had a later version of the game than you did, but I don't remember any silly bugs like that (assuming it wasn't exclusive to your copy). Thanx 4 sharing

"How about trying cancer?" -Botley, 1996

[@strawberrysoulforever8336]

The constellation came first. "Cancer" was the Latin word for "crab". The terminal illness was named because it kept moving and growing further and further, like crab claws. However, if you find and remove the tumor early enough, it's curable. It's only if it's advanced cancer that it becomes harder to cure. My godmother had surgery for early cancer earlier this year and she's fine now. And my mother is having surgery for early breast cancer as I type (or possibly recovering - her surgery should've been over an hour ago).

Well. There were clear margins in her lymph nodes so she officially doesn't have cancer now. She has to have radiotherapy to keep it from coming back, but it's better than chemo (she could have for a slightly better chance but chemo poisons the whole body to attack cancer she no longer has so she said no).

Wow, this is such a blast from the past! I remember spending lots of time on this learning the various things the game had to offer. It really was good holistic education covering various topics. Looking back on it now, I'm amazed I was able to get through the entire game as a 2nd grader. I was more advanced from my classmates, though some topics completely blew over my head. The history section was the worst for me then. As a sidenote, the voice actor for the robot kid did a really good job. It only took me seeing this as an adult to appreciate the effort they put into it so as to sound realistic as opposed to stilted/disingenuous.

And it's a spooky coincidence you have an Osees album cover for a pic, I just went to that subreddit today after a video from Osees dummer Dan Rincon reminded me of Battlezone but I couldn't place the name. And then I came here because this is always a part of my nostalgia trips. Wild.

Such amazing memories. I think this year was my favorite! I totally forgot but remembered the school and robot instantly.
