A Bug's Life is the 3D Platform Game adaptation of the Pixar film of the same name, released in 1998 on the PlayStation, Nintendo 64, and PC. It was developed by Traveller's Tales, making it their second Pixar-based Licensed Game after Toy Story. An 8-bit version of the game was developed by Tiertex Design Studios and published by THQ for the Game Boy Color in 1998.The game follows the movie's storyline with Flik as the player character, featuring fifteen levels with every third being a boss stage. The central gimmick is growing plants; Flik can carry and plant large seeds to produce various plants that help him progress, and he can collect tokens that grant him new colors to turn seeds into and new plants to produce from each seed color. Each level has a main goal to reach (most of them being to reach an exit, though some require collecting items or finding characters) as well as three Success Tokens that can be collected through completing other tasks.Traveller's Tales would later develop Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue!, another Pixar 3D platformer that shares some traits with A Bug's Life but is otherwise a more traditional collectathon. | |

Unexpected Gameplay Change | |
| A Bug's Life (Video Game) / int_1467a30c | comment |
Unexpected Gameplay Change: In "Atta Flight", you control Atta as she carries Flik through the riverbed while fleeing from Hopper changing the game into an auto-runner; Atta moves forward automatically and can fly by holding the jump button, while Flik can still throw berries as normal. This is one of two levels in the game that doesn't allow you to grab and plant seeds (the other, "Horsefly Mayhem", plays like normal and just doesn't contain any seeds to use). | |

Last Lousy Point | |

Last Lousy Point: Collecting all three tokens in a level unlocks a bonus movie clip, and 100% Completion unlocks one more movie clip as an award... so why are there still three locked spaces in the clips menu after collecting everything? They're locked behind the three circus bonus levels, which can be accessed by performing specific actions within other levels. | |

Carnivore Confusion | |
| A Bug's Life (Video Game) / int_27a58d30 | comment |
Carnivore Confusion: Rosie is still an ally, but other spiders and Daddy Long Legs' appear as enemies. It's even more confusing because in the cutscene that introduces the player to the city level has the shot of the Daddy Long Legs from the movie passing over Flik and making no attempt to harm him or any other insects in the area, whereas the very first enemy in the level is a much more aggressive Daddy Long Legs, leaving it ultimately to individual cases. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| A Bug's Life (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Flik's Harvester appears in several levels, and while operating it, he's invincible to enemy attacks, magnetizes grain towards him, and permanently kills any enemy that he kills with the blades (in one hit no less). However, Flik moves very slowly while using it and can't jump without dropping it, and only enemies that can be killed by red berries are affected by its blades. Since the Harvester is never required to finish a level, it's best to ignore it and use gold berries to kill the enemies instead (unless you don't have them yet). | |

Ground Pound | |
| A Bug's Life (Video Game) / int_3401240 | comment |
Ground Pound: Pressing the jump button while Flik is in midair makes him perform a butt-stomp, killing any enemies he lands near. It also slightly stalls his decent, which can be exploited for long jumps. The wasps can also "butt-stomp" Flik if they get above him (i.e. sting him). | |

Land Mine Goes "Click!" | |
| A Bug's Life (Video Game) / int_4c23b50f | comment |
Land Mine Goes "Click!": The final plant upgrade for the yellow seed produces a land mine flower, which explodes when an enemy goes near it or when it's thrown. It can only be grown in "Grasshoppers Leave" (and the third bonus level), but it's the only way to permanently defeat enemies for the Enemy Token since the level contains no gold berry pickups. | |

| A Bug's Life (Video Game) / int_64028be7 | comment |
Cowardly Boss: Thud flies from one side of the rolling tin can to the other every time he takes damage, dropping several pieces of grain and a healing leaf each time. Hopper flees when he's hit with a berry in the final level, eventually causing him to knock over barricades that block off parts of the level. The goal is to corner him at the top of the cliffside where the bird's nest is, as the remainder of his health can be drained from there. The bird itself becomes this in its boss level if you get the gold berry, flying high up to avoid you. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| A Bug's Life (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: The game never hints at the existence of the secret bonus levels, with the only indication that they exist being the exclamation points produced when you do the actions related to their unlock conditions. The unlock methods (bouncing on five mushrooms in a row, killing five enemies by squashing them flat without missing, and killing five grasshoppers in a row without missing any berry throws) are hard to do by accident and can only be done in a few select levels each. | |

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: The various plants are coded by seed color: brown seeds grow plants that give Flik an aerial boost, green seeds create progressive taller leaf platforms, blue seeds produce buds that spit out pickups, purple seeds spawn berry pickups, and yellow seeds grow into attack plants. The berries are colored by strength: red berries are weak, blue ones are stronger and produce smoke, green berries home in on enemies, purple berries have homing and are even stronger, and gold berries don't home in but prevent enemies from respawning after death. | |

Warm-Up Boss: Thumper is the first boss of the game, and he mostly sticks to the center of the level so you can ignore him and grab stronger berries, which can be spammed to defeat him in seconds. Every other boss either incorporates more platforming or has better means of hurting Flik apart from the bird. | |

Annoying Video Game Helper: Invoked with the ants in "Lead the Revolt". They try to help Flik by throwing him red berry pickups... which is a bad thing, because Molt only takes damage from blue berries and above. If Flik touches a red berry that the ants throw to him, then he's left with a useless weapon until he grabs a stronger berry pickup. | |

Trampoline Tummy | |
| A Bug's Life (Video Game) / int_9aae4c16 | comment |
Trampoline Tummy: In level 10, Heimlich himself functions as a bouncy platform, much like the aforementioned mushrooms, you can use to reach a higher ledge. He even comments that it tickles when you bounce on him. | |

Respawning Enemies | |
| A Bug's Life (Video Game) / int_a121abc7 | comment |
Respawning Enemies: All enemies will respawn indefinitely after they're killed, but there are three ways to prevent them from returning: hitting them with gold berries, chopping them up with the Harvester, or blowing them up with the mine plants produced by a max-level yellow seed. Defeating all the enemies in a level through these methods awards you with the Enemy Token for the level. Notably, even the bosses have to be killed with the golden berry or else they won't count toward this, despite the fact that they stay dead no matter how you kill them. This is a problem during Thud's boss fight, because if you get hit by one of the blue berries he throws at you after you have picked up the golden berry, instead of damaging you, the blue berry will replace the golden berry as your weapon with no way to get the golden berry back. Notably, how the enemies respawn varies depending on their type. Spiders, flies, beetles, and some other enemies will pop out of the ground. Grasshoppers, mosquitos, and wasps will fly in from above. Daddy Long Legs' will just spontaneously materialize where you killed the previous one. | |

Adaptational Jerkass: Okay, Thud was already a jerk in the film, but he and the other flies were merely Bit-Part Bad Guys who wanted to beat up Francis and the other circus bugs out of revenge. In this game, he's a full-on boss who tries to outright murder Flik for seemingly no reason. | |

Missing Secret | |
| A Bug's Life (Video Game) / int_a9cec1f1 | comment |
Missing Secret: Each seed color has four different plants that it can grow into... except for the yellow seed, which only has three. None of the levels in the game contain enough yellow seed tokens to upgrade it another time, and the Bonus Level that features every plant proves that there are only three yellow seed plants. | |

Remixed Level | |
| A Bug's Life (Video Game) / int_b1ddb121 | comment |
Remixed Level: One of the last stages of the game is "Grasshoppers Leave" (outright called "Anthill, Part 2" on the level select menu), which takes the first non-tutorial level of the game, "Welcome to Ant Island", and overhauls it; most of the enemies have been replaced by grasshoppers (which need to be killed with yellow seed plants, since the game doesn't give you any berry upgrades), all the collectibles are found in different places, and the level goal is changed from entering the anthill to finding a way to attack Hopper and make him drop Atta. It's also pouring rain as opposed to being sunny, though this only affects the visuals. | |

King Mook | |
| A Bug's Life (Video Game) / int_baaf641a | comment |
King Mook: Molt shares the same movement behavior as the grasshopper enemies (patrolling a small area and charging at Flik if he enters that area) while having a much larger health bar, faster movement compared to other grasshoppers, and the level's gimmick of having the ants throw red berries that take the place of your current berry. Hopper and Thumper averts this by being the only grasshoppers than can fly and throw projectiles. | |

Shout-Out | |
| A Bug's Life (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: To Bambi: Thumper's boss level is titled "They call him Thumper", and Flik's first quote upon seeing Thumper is "I'm psycho, that's why they call me Thumper". When Flik encounters a mosquito in Riverbed Canyon, he may comment "Mosquitoes. Why'd it have to be mosquitoes?" When Flik picks up an invincibility powerup he will shout "I AM INVINCIBLE!" | |

Poison Mushroom | |
| A Bug's Life (Video Game) / int_cb5cf4a5 | comment |
Poison Mushroom: Berry pickups are not sequenced, so a stronger one can be replaced by a weaker one if you collect it. The boss fights against Thud and Molt exploit this by throwing out low-tier berry pickups as an obstacle. | |

BonusLevel | |
| A Bug's Life (Video Game) / int_d2ea3e4a | comment |
Bonus Level: There are three secret levels that take place in the circus bugs' tent, all sharing the same layout but containing different items and a different goal. To access them, Flik needs to perform a hidden action five times in a row (such as bouncing on five different mushrooms) that will warp him from the current stage to the bonus level. Collecting the exclamation point in each one unlocks a movie clip. | |

Game-Over Man: A repurposed clip from the film featuring Hopper (the "You think this is a game?" scene) is played after you lose your last life, before the game over screen appears and the game resets. It works very well because Hopper is staring right at the camera in said scene. | |
