Usually Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles (a.k.a. “The Powerpuff Girls) are stars of an Emmy-award winning Cartoon Network show about fighting crime and the forces of evil—not about spelling and math. And yet, when players are asked to use those academic skills to help the Powerpuff Girls in this computer adventure—it works!

The Powerpuff Girls Mojo Jojo’s Clone Zone Published on March 1st, 2003

The Powerpuff Girls take on Mojo Jojo, a supervillain who has cloned his brain knowledge into an army of robots so that he can take over Townsville. Players help the Powerpuff Girls destroy the evil clones by playing academic games. With Blossom, kids solve math equations to trap clones. With Bubbles, they zap clones by spelling words to power-up street cleaning machines. Players help Buttercup bop clones by navigating a grid of underground pipes. Each time the Powerpuff Girls destroy a clone, they retrieve its memory chip. Once they have enough memory chips, the Powerpuff Girls can invade Mojo Jojo’s hideout and best him in two other academic-based contests. This unlikely alliance works because the personalities and high-flying antics of the Powerpuff Girls create interest in the multi-leveled learning games. Youngsters can track their accomplishments with printable progress reports. Young girls in particular will enjoy saving the world and learning with Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles.
