Wild Thornberrys The - Chimp Chase (USA Europe)

Released in 2002 by THQ for the Game Boy Advance (GBA), *The Wild Thornberrys: Chimp Chase* brings the beloved Nickelodeon animated series to handheld gaming for audiences across the USA and Europe. Based on the hit show following the nomadic Thornberry family documenting wildlife across Africa, this game puts players in control of Eliza Thornberry, the adventurous teen with the magical ability to talk to animals. The game's core story kicks off when Eliza's best friend Darwin, a gentle chimpanzee, is captured by poachers looking to sell exotic animals, sending Eliza on a cross-continental chase through a dozen unique levels spanning sun-baked savannas, dense jungles, winding river deltas, and rocky mountain outposts. Unlike many rushed licensed children's games of the early 2000s, Chimp Chase balances accessible 2D platforming gameplay with charming storytelling that stays true to the original series' warm, adventurous tone, including playable appearances from other fan-favorite chara

Game Guide

Mastering *The Wild Thornberrys: Chimp Chase* starts with leaning into Eliza's unique abilities to make progression smooth and unlock all hidden content. First, always prioritize collecting bananas scattered across every level: collecting 100 bananas earns you an extra life, and large hidden banana bunches are almost always tucked behind breakable foliage or off the main path near secret side areas. Don't ignore Eliza's signature ability to talk to animals: this is not just a story gimmick, it is your most important navigation tool. Every animal you encounter will give you specific hints about hidden traps, locked paths, or the location of the key items you need to open the level's exit gate. When navigating tricky platforming sections, remember that holding the jump button gives Eliza a slight mid-jump float, which makes landing on narrow tree branches and small rock ledves much easier, a trick many new players miss. For river levels, wait for crocodiles to fully submerge below the water before jumping across gaps to avoid unnecessary damage. When you reach the final poacher camp boss battle, use the roll mechanic (press down + jump) to dodge incoming net traps, and throw collected fruit at the poacher's truck to disable it before you can free Darwin. If you get stuck, backtrack to the level entrance to check for climbable hidden vines that lead to upper shortcut paths. Unlocked bonus minigames after each world also let you farm unlimited extra lives for the harder final levels.
