Winnie the Pooh's Rumbly Tumbly Adventure is a 2005 action-adventure game developed by French company Phoenix Studio and co-published by Ubisoft and Disney Interactive.

Intended towards younger audiences, the game is based on the Disney version of the Winnie the Pooh franchise. Its gameplay is a lot like Piglet's Big Game. The game was re-released as a PS2 Classic on the PlayStation Store in 2013.^[2]

Gameplay

The game has three different modes: Adventure Mode, Junior Mode and Multi-player Mini-Games. Adventure Mode is basically Story Mode, and its gameplay is a lot like Piglet's Big Game. Instead of cookies, honey pots can be used to get to areas blocked off by bees. Heffalumps and Woozles can be found in certain areas and will attempt to frighten Pooh (because of his "rumbly tumbly") and in order to scare them away, Pooh must find and pop a balloon.

Much like Piglet's Big Game, there are some parts in levels where the player can play as other characters. While Tigger and Piglet appear and retain their abilities to sneak past enemies and scare them with scary faces, respectively, Eeyore is a new playable character, and his level segments involve him running around a location (after being startled) with Pooh riding on his back to complete a task.

Junior Mode is for even younger children and has no objectives to do, and Multi-player Mini-Games allows 1-4 players to play 3 minigames with 2 more being unlockable via Adventure Mode.

Plot

Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin take a walk in the Hundred Acre Wood when the former starts complaining that he's hungry. Christopher Robin tells Pooh to think of something else, suggesting that he remember his favorite times. Pooh decides to read the birthday scrapbooks of some of his friends, and finally his own which takes him through flashbacks of his birthday adventures where he looks for Piglet and finds him a broom, searches for Tigger, search for two missing Tigger costumes, looks for a new home for Eeyore, and going on a treasure hunt. After reading them all and completing the adventures, Christopher Robin shows up and gives him a picnic with all of his friends.
