Marilyn's Midnight Adventure

Marilyn's Midnight Adventure is an action-adventure video game based on the The Sweet Treets franchise. The game stars the character Marilyn Madison, and is a follow-up to the 2001 video game Nate's Great Adventure. It was released in PAL regions in November 2005 for the GameCube, PlayStation 2, Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS. The game was also released in North America in March 2006, though the Game Boy Advance version was not released in the region.

Franchise creator Taylor Ridley returned as a director for the game. Additionally, all of the cast from All New! The Sweet Treets and The Life of Louise reprised their roles as their respective characters. According to Ridley, the game chronologically takes place a few months after the events of The Life of Louise.

Marilyn's Midnight Adventure was a moderate success, with the PlayStation 2 version selling 400,000 copies in PAL regions. It was re-released in 2006 under the Platinum range in the region. However, Marilyn's voice actress Opaline Robins claimed in a 2008 interview that the game underperformed in the North American region.

Plot
Structured in an episodic format, the game focuses on Marilyn and the antics she gets up to during the school holidays after suffering from insomnia.

Gameplay
Marilyn's Midnight Adventure is a 3D action-adventure game, except for the Game Boy Advance version, which is instead 2D. The game is divided into seven chapters, all of which take place during a single day each. In each chapter, the player plays as Marilyn and has to explore the environment, usually the franchise's main setting Eastwood Park, and complete any tasks that are given to them - the pause menu grants the player access to the map of the area they are in, as well as a reminder for the task they should be doing.

In addition, each chapter also has three Extra Missions the player can take part in. One of the missions involves a minigame, which is unlocked in the multiplayer mode after it is completed. Players can save their progress in the middle of a chapter, but once they complete said chapter, they must start it from the beginning if they want to repeat it. Thus, if the player finishes the chapter, any progress made on Extra Missions is reset, unless they were completed.
