Age Recommendations

ℹ️Ages 3-5

Not ideal for very young solo players due to platforming difficulty and occasional mildly scary visuals — fine to play briefly with a caregiver holding the controller. Content is non-graphic but may frustrate preschoolers.

ℹ️Ages 6-8

Appropriate with supervision or paired with an older player. Platforming challenges can be tricky but the cooperative modes let older siblings help younger children.

ℹ️Ages 9-12

Recommended. Age-appropriate content and cooperative play make this a good family/tween title; mild language noted in one song.

ℹ️Ages 13-15

Suitable and enjoyable — casual cooperative gameplay and cosmetic customization make it low-risk for teens.

ℹ️Ages 16-18

Suitable; teens will find the platforming and collectibles engaging. No aggressive monetization or adult content.
