Muppets: Party Cruise, known in Japan as Muppet Party Cruise! (マペットパーティークルーズ！, Mapetto Pātī Kurūzu!) and Pocket Party (ポケットパーティー, Poketto Pātī) in the Game Boy Advance version is a party video game released in 2003 by Mass Media Inc. (despite the Japanese PS2 version being released first). Players have the choice between a "short cruise" and a "long cruise". In the "short cruise" players simply select a mini-game to play. In the "long cruise", players are characters on a board-game style board and must try to collect "party favours" (Coins in the Japanese versions). Party Favours/coins are given for each mini-game won (another way to get coins in the JAP versions can occur if you enter a blue or red space). The ending 'rap' by Kermit in the PAL and American versions has become infamous through being repeatedly played on GamesRadar's podcast TalkRadar.
A Wonderswan port was announced but never released, a Japan-only Game Boy Advance port was made, but was published by Sega Wow due to Data East's bankruptcy.
The game was released on the Data East Player and was the last one in the hardware due to Data East's bankruptcy.
Story
All your favorite Muppets are off on a long awaited long cruise. But as fate would have it, the magnificent Muppets find themselves stuck on the bottom deck of the boat. But the Muppets have a plan! They set up fun mini-games in their cabins to earn party favors! Players use the party favors to unlock mini-games and battle their way up five decks to First Class!
