Jim Henson's Muppet Adventure: Chaos at the Carnival is a Minigame Game developed by MicroMosaics and published by Hi Tech Expressions, based on the The Muppets. It was initially released for the Apple II computer, Commodore 64, and MS-DOS in 1989, but received a port to the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990.The plot is that Miss Piggy was pignapped by the corrupt carnival owner Dr. Grump and held captive, and it's up to Kermit and the rest of the Muppets to rescue her by overcoming Dr. Grump's fiendish carnival games. You play as each of the Muppets (Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, and Animal) in four unique carnival attractions that can be completed in any order, which reward you with a key upon success. Collecting all four minigames unlocks the final minigame, as the player takes control of Kermit in a last showdown with Dr. Grump to save Miss Piggy. |

Cartoon Bomb: The main obstacle of the Car Course are red spherical cherry bombs with a visible fuse on top. These bombs are the only thing in the stage that can actually damage Animal, and should be avoided at all costs. |

A Winner Is You: Upon completing the game, you get a screen wherein Miss Piggy tells you: "Oh, thank you, oh, thank you! But it sure took you long enough!" An in-character response from Miss Piggy for sure, but not especially satisfying. |

Game-Breaking Bug |
| Muppet Adventure: Chaos at the Carnival (Video Game) / int_33ca811a |
comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: The PC versions are extremely buggy, particularly the MS-DOS version which soft-locks at the drop of a hat. Of note is in the Bumper Car minigame where if the player is unlucky enough to have an obstacle spawn directly on top of them, the game will freeze. |

Kermit moves forward at the same speed as the screen in the River Ride, while Gonzo can move around the automatically-moving screen freely in the Space Ride. |

Guide Dang It!: The PC versions of the game do not tell the player that their versions of the Space Ride minigame operates under an unseen time limit. When this time limit expires, the player immediately receives a Non Standard Game Over wherein the spaceship takes off of the top of the screen and their Muppet crashes, ending the game. |

Attack Its Weak Point: The evil space station in the Space Ride needs to be shot in a pair of white orbs that appear in the center of its body in order to be damaged. In the final battle with Dr. Grump, Kermit needs to aim his hearts so that they fly up and land on top of Dr. Grump's head. Hitting him from below will cause the heart to harmlessly bounce off. |
