Trivia

• The only useful item that is used twice is the stick shaped like a hook.
• The characters controlled by the person playing the game are Arthur and Buster.
• D.W. gives you all the instructions on how to play all the games.
• If Arthur and Buster slip off the cliff, the player can click on a tree branch to stop the fall. This leads them to a location only accessed via this tree branch and players can find a fossil here. This could be a reference to the Arthur episode "Buster's Dino Dilemma", in which Buster keeps a fossil he discovers for himself.
