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.
