Putt-Putt Joins the Circus is an exciting computer game. It's the sixth adventure in the popular Putt-Putt game series. Humongous Entertainment created this game, and Infogrames published it in the year 2000. This game is special because it's one of the last two where Nancy Cartwright voices Putt-Putt.

Putt-Putt's Circus Adventure

In Putt-Putt Joins the Circus, Putt-Putt and his dog, Pep, are super excited to visit B.J. Sweeney's Big Top Circus. The circus is in a place called Apple Valley. To get there, they hop aboard Roll-Along Cassidy, the circus train. They had a little trouble getting on because a goat ate their ticket!

When they arrive, they find Mr. Sweeney feeling very sad. The circus's five main acts aren't ready for opening night! Putt-Putt, being the helpful car he is, offers to find all the missing performers. He needs to make sure they practice and are ready for the big show.

Finding the Main Acts

Putt-Putt has a big job ahead of him. He needs to search the entire circus grounds to find these five important acts:

  • Honko the Clown
  • The Flying Porkowskis
  • Philippe the Flea
  • Reginald the Lion and his tiger helpers, Teri and Marie
  • Katie Cannonball

Meeting Circus Friends

As Putt-Putt explores, he meets many other interesting characters and animals. Everyone needs a little help to get ready for the show. He helps:

  • Baby Jambo and Mama Mombasa, the elephants
  • Sebestian the Juggling Seal
  • Francine the High-Diving Hippo
  • Eunice the Unicycle
  • Bette Bandwagon
  • Hank the Security Car
  • Ivan the Strong Van

Putt-Putt helps all these friends get ready for opening night. After he successfully helps fix all the acts, Mr. Sweeney is so grateful. He invites Putt-Putt to be a special part of the circus show himself!

How to Play the Game

Playing Putt-Putt Joins the Circus is similar to other games in the series. You use Putt-Putt's special dashboard to control him. This dashboard helps you move around and interact with things.

The main goal of the game is to solve problems for the different characters you meet. You'll need to use your brain to figure out puzzles. Your biggest task is to unite all five main circus performers. Once they are all ready, the circus can finally begin! The game also includes fun mini-games to play along the way.
