JumpStart All Star Education

**JumpStart All Star Education** is an educational minigame collection released by JumpStart Games, Inc, as part of the JumpStart Revival series. The game brings several generations of the JumpStart series together into one massive inter-series crossover.

## Story

The player is given an invitation letter to New JumpStartville, a city populated by several characters from the original JumpStart games, signed only with a single "S". The invitation promises the player that in the city, many academic subjects are taught in "the most fun way possible". Upon arrival at the city gates, they are greeted by Squirt, the younger cousin of the world-famous Frankie. As he eagerly shows the player around the city, he explains that in order to learn about and master the fundamental subjects needed to succeed in life, the player must play through the activities found in the city's many buildings. Squirt also recommends bringing a Study Buddy along, to which he declares himself the player's first. By advancing through the buildings, the player is able to access more and more of the city, as well as gain new Study Buddies.

## Gameplay

The main appeals of the game are the activities and character selection; Most of the activities are simply remakes of those found in the older JumpStart games, however in the later stages of the game they are revisited with unique twists to add an additional layer of challenge. During gameplay, the player can receive help from (or in a few activities, directly play as) a "Study Buddy".

The Buddy can give the player encouragement, advice on how to solve a problem, remove a negative effect, etc. The most powerful Buddies can even utilize special abilities, such as temporarily lowering the difficulty of an activity, though these abilities are on a cooldown. Each Buddy specializes in a certain subject, so it is best to choose the right Buddy before tackling an activity, or else they may not know what to do. The vast character selection features familiar faces from the entire JumpStart series, and are unlocked through the completion of tasks in gameplay.

Before starting the game, an avatar needs to be created to represent the player. A "base" must first be chosen; you can be a human, an anthropomorphic animal, a robot, an elf, a fairy, a monster, a vehicle, or even a Mythie. Afterwards, the avatar can be customized with a wide range of options (all of which are unlocked from the beginning), such as hair, eyes, skin color, clothing, accessories, and a name. These can be changed at any time after creation is complete (including the base).

Completing the main story involves going from building to building and completing the activity sets found within them. Most of the buildings are based on past JumpStart games, featuring their respective activities, characters, and even mini stories for the player to complete. New characters, buildings, and events are also added through updates, meaning there is no shortage of content to experience.

The game also features many music tracks that play during the activities. Most of these tracks are remixes of music from previous JumpStart games, typically corresponding to the activity being played. Some activities, however, play a theme corresponding to the player's chosen Study Buddy.
