Since its premiere on NickJr., Dora The Explorer has been the highest rated preschool program on all of commercial television. Now kids can play with Dora and all of her friends on Nintendo’s Game Boy Advance. In "The Search for Pirate Pig’s Treasure", preschoolers can join the adventure with Dora in a whole new way. The story starts with Dora and her best friend Boots agreeing to help Pirate Pig locate his missing treasure chest. On their adventure, they travel through many exciting places such as the Spooky Forest, Blueberry Hill and Strawberry Mountain. With the help of Backpack and Map, Dora and Boots have to prevent Swiper the Fox from swiping all of the pick-ups along the way. If they are successful, they will enjoy the chocolate cupcakes with pink frosting, gold coins, stickers and shiny jewels that are waiting for them in Pirate Pig’s treasure chest. [NewKidCo]

A great platformer for little kids, but one that may lack lasting appeal, due to nothing else to do besides play the same, short levels again. A few fun mini-games would have helped.

A side-scroller that should be fun and challenging for young players. [Apr 2003, p.137]
