Rugrats in Paris: The Movie is a Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color released in 2000 and 2001, respectively, based on the animated Nickelodeon movie of the same name.
Gameplay[]
Tommy Pickles' father has been sent to Europe to fix a broken robot at EuroReptarLand and has decided to bring his family and friends with him. In the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation versions, the player can choose between six playable characters throughout the game: Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, Angelica, or Kimi. There are approximately 16 levels, as well as hidden bonus levels, in both single and multi-player mini-games. The object of the game is to collect enough gold Reptar tickets to buy the Reptar Helmet that controls a Giant Robot Reptar. Tickets are earned during mini-games, and can also be collected throughout the park. During most mini-games, the player plays against ninjas; aside from mini-games, the theme park is otherwise devoid of other people.
The Game Boy Color version features eight side-scrolling levels and seven mini-games, while the plot involves Chuckie and the other children searching the theme park for a princess to become his new mother. The game includes Dil as an additional character, unlike the home console versions. Each mini-game is played with a different character. Many mini-games include a time limit during which the player must complete the game. Tickets, earned by playing mini-games, allow the player to advance to new levels, which are accessed via an overhead map of the park. A password is provided after the completion of each level, allowing the player to resume the game at a later point.
Plot[]
Tommy's father Stu has been called to EuroReptarland, a French amusement park themed around Reptar, to fix the giant malfunctioning Reptar robot that he designed for the park, and for some reason, he had to bring all the Rugrats' families with him. While the families are staying in EuroReptarland, the park's cruel boss, Coco LaBouche, sets her sights on marrying Chas, Chuckie's father, so that she can get a promotion when her boss retires. It's up to the Rugrats, including their new friend Kimi Watanabe, to save Chas from getting Chuckie an evil stepmother!

Reception[]
The game was met with mixed reception upon release. Cory D. Lewis of IGN criticized the Nintendo 64 version for its slow-moving characters, although he called the game "simple, yet fun on a very basic level," noting that it was more likely to appeal to younger children. Lewis offered particular praise for the game's miniature golf mini-game, as well as the game's sound, music, and graphics, although he criticized its frame rate. Nix criticized the Game Boy Color version for its "stiff" controls, its password feature, and its poor graphics. Nix also criticized the gameplay for being slow, tedious, and difficult, particularly for young children.
