Jim Henson's Muppets is a Game Boy Color game released in April 2000, developed by Tarantula Studios and published by Take-Two Interactive.
In the game, Kermit the Frog and Animal have to rescue their friends, who are transferred back in time by Dr. Bunsen Honeydew's time machine.
In each time era, either Kermit or Animal has to collect three special items, after which they have to rescue one of the captured Muppets from a 'boss' in the fourth level. Each level is a maze; players have to collect keys, energy food and other bonuses in order to get through.
Kermit's fighting techniques include throwing paper airplanes and a high leap; Animal's fighting techniques consist of throwing drumsticks and "stomping".
