Nate's Great Adventure

Nate's Great Adventure is an action-adventure video game based on the Sweet Treets franchise. Starring the character Nate Nicholson, it is a follow-up to the All New! The Sweet Treets special "Nate and the Forest Venture", and chronologically takes place three months later. The game was released for the Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Color in September 2001. Franchise creator Taylor Ridley served as the director of all three versions of the game, though they were each developed by different studios. A PC version, based off the home console versions of the game was also released exclusively in China in 2002.

The Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 versions of Nate's Great Adventure were developed by Block1 Games, the Game Boy Advance version was developed by KP Games and the Game Boy Color version was developed by Puffinsoft. The former two studios were split off from Kubokartoonz Interactive, a game development division of Kubokartoonz, a Kuboian animation studio who co-produced both ''All New! The Sweet Treets and The New Adventures of The Sweet Treets''.

All four versions of the game received positive reviews from critics, who praised their gameplay, presentation, music and accessibility, although some criticised the game's marketing, as well as the loading times on the home console versions. Nate's Great Adventure was a commercial success, with the PlayStation 2 version selling over a million copies worldwide.

Plot
After a group of giant rats start to cause havoc in Eastwood Park, Nate, with the help of his friends, get to the bottom of where they could be coming from.

Game Boy Color version
The Game Boy Color version of Nate's Great Adventure is set in a 3D top-down perspective similar to the Pokemon series. Playing as Nate, the player has to explore six stages, where they solve puzzles and collect items scattered throughout the environment.

Nate is equipped with a repellent spray, which he has to use to take out enemies in the game. Enemies usually come in the form of giant rodents, though species vary. Nate has a total of four heart pieces in the game. Getting a Game Over gives the option to restart from the last save point (the player can save at any time) or to return to the main menu.

Every stage has four puzzle pieces which are hidden in the area. Collecting all four unlocks a simple minigame where the player has to last as long as they can without losing.
