Ye Olde CN Games - Codename Kids Next Door: Operation S.T.A.R.T.U.P.

Summer 2005. Bike to swim team practice from 9-10, bike home, take shower, and play these games for hours with Cartoon Network on in the background while eating Mac and cheese and mom was teaching summer school. SUCH MEMORIES

Dude... that's the truth! I loved these games in the 2000s. Especially during summer. Was so much fun...

[@James-qu1bw]

The characters were a black girl, a white boy, an Asian girl, a fat kid, and a bald kid. But as little kids, we didn't care what they were. We idolized them.

[@charliehartman5626]

Diversity is like ketchup. Good for a lot things and gives a great flavor, but not substantial enough on its own. You need a solid plot, interesting characters, and above all, the ability to enjoy them both without realizing it. That’s why Kids Next door was so amazing

Numbuh 4 is the only operative who can directly interact with his villain, by punching Knightbrace.

[@WilliamDearthwd]

And then does the end clash with a bubblegum blaster. And he also doesn't have a jump command.

Other KNDs: I better sneak my way around this baddie, until I'm better equipped. Numbah 4: *punches his problems away*

[@billyyank1916]

I know I am kind of late to the party, but I just wanted to say thank you for uploading these. I used to play these kinds of games when I was a kid but never really ever finished them so it's great to get some closure as to how these games ended. It's kind of disappointing for some odd reason to see how this one ended in particular, but at least I know how it ends, thanks!

[@henrythepotatohead]

Actually, there is another level after this (it's in my KND playlist, item 15), not sure if you've seen it.

Also, some of the sound design, there. Like when you pick up orange juice boxes, for one, which end up making a sort of >parp< sound when you do so.

[@Cats4life777]

Oh i gotta get that orange juice box in that bottom area! I'll be right back guys! **falls down the stairs possibly breaking all his bones and somehow walks just fine**

[@ecksdeeeXD]

The fact his instructions said "Attempt to jump" still makes me chuckle when I remember it.

[@SurrealKangaroo12]

I’m just watching this because Numbuh 1’s music randomly came back in my head. I haven’t heard it in like 15 years. This game was made to promote the show when it was new, that’s how I knew about characters like Lizzie and the villains before their episodes came.

[@WilliamDearthwd]

Yeah, and interesting pair of villains in the first ep I later learned were spoofing henchmen from a classic James Bond flick. Mr. Fibb and Mr. Wink. Spoofs of Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd from Diamonds are Forever.

[@dustinj918]

Numbuh 2 is me as a kid. No doubt. I also remember having trouble fighting Stickybeard as a kid, so I never really beat this game.

[@enesaliev3518]

You can still give a try

[@jaylenhioe2868]

I beat it, but it was by luck.

[@WilliamDearthwd]

@jaylenhioe2868 Yeah, you can technically look closely to the way he back-swings the candy sword to pick the position you need to swing it to get a hit in. If he picks high...you use low. If he picks middle, use high. If he picks low, use middle.

The music for the Numbuh 3 level has stuck with me to this day as a core memory. I have no idea how, but for some reason the last few years I thought it was level 1 music lol

[@benioshigura3699]

Ah, this takes me back

[@LoraGoBrr]

this was my absolute favorite game to play on cartoon network, due to how much i love knd. tho i could never beat the level 1 boss due to me sucking hard at hitting stickybeard

[@Galidorquest]

Numbuh 3's boss was the most difficult for me as a kid. And the worst part is, this game doesn't save your progress and I was only allowed to use the family computer for 2 hours, and it took longer for games to load with AOL. You had to spend your time online very wisely if you were a kid in the 2000's.

[@Galidorquest]

*Numbuh 2

This game has a 6th Level, which involves the KND vs The Delightful Children From Down The Lane; It is unlocked by typing in the password in which each game reveals part of the letter: Numbuh 5: N Numbuh 4: I Numbuh 3: G Numbuh 2: E Numbuh 1: L Password: Nigel (Numbuh 1's real name) How the Bosses play IMO: Numbuh 5: Rock Paper Scissors Numbuh 4: World War Numbuh 3: Phases Numbuh 2: Attack the Weak Spots Numbuh 1: Deflect and Dodge
