The breakout stars of the movie Madagascar get their own headlining gig in an side-scrolling adventure that waddles from New York to the big island, with a pit stop in Antarctica. Along the way, players utilize inventive secret agent gadgets and conquer a host of challenging tasks in 18 mission-based chapters.

Players adventure across zoo environments like the Lion?€?s Pen and Monkey Cage, take a dangerous trek through the subway system, hop on a boat bound for Africa, and explore Antarctica and Madagascar. Additionally, players assist zoo mates along the way to earn their help in later missions.

Gamers use crazy contraptions such as a soda-bottle jet pack or hamburger-wrapper parachute to help break free from the confines of the zoo. They can climb flipper over flipper using candy canes as hooks, hurl fruit with a homemade slingshot and launch sleeper darts through a twisty straw. They must also defeat enemies with a secret "bass knuckles?€� weapon ?€“ a sea bass that serves as a dastardly device.
