Did you know that you can play the Rugrats theme music with just one finger? Just tap six piano keys from left to right and back again to hear what we mean. This nugget of useless trivia isn't included in the press materials, but we consider it important anyway. Rugrats: The Movie is the only way you can relive the surprise holiday hit in your hands without buying a portable VCR, and to the great astonishment of many, it's actually pretty good. Not groundbreaking or innovative in any way, to be sure, but it does what it sets out to do well.

Don't go throwing away your copies of Super Mario Bros. DX or Wario Land II just yet, though - this is strictly for the kids. Grown-ups who are brave enough to admit they like watching the cartoon won't find a particularly challenging game here. The fact that the game only uses one button is a good indication of this. As you would expect, this game follows the basic premise of the movie - Tommy's newborn brother Dil has gone missing and it's up to the babies to find him - over a stream of side-scrolling platform levels. A special bonus for Game Boy Color players comes in the form of two overhead racing stages, where the kids drive around in the Reptar mobile collecting bonuses. They're a nice addition and break up the gameplay well - a shame, then, that they're over too quickly.
