Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Released with the GameCube/PlayStation 2/Xbox version along with its PC counterpart, this video game is based on the film of the same name and was released with that movie on the same day. Unlike the other versions this is a side-scrolling 2D platformer with condensed gameplay to meet the technical standards of the Game Boy Advance.

Charlie Bucket is a young, humble, chocolate-loving child who lives with a family in poverty. One day, Willy Wonka, the mysterious man who runs his own chocolate factory in Charlie's municipality created a contest; five golden tickets, one in each Wonka chocolate bar, were dispersed randomly around the world. Recipients of each ticket win a one-day tour around Wonka's factory, and one of the five winners will win a prize beyond one's dreams. Will Charlie find one of the tickets? If so, will he be the one lucky winner?

There are three save slots available. Upon choosing a save slot to use, the player gets taken to the game type menu. He/she may choose Adventure, Mini-Games, or Oompa-Loompa Album. In Adventure, the player gets to complete the games 14 main levels that follows loosely the main movie story line. The player can complete the first level, In Town, and collect 25 square candies that look round throughout each of eight levels to unlock one illustration each in the Oompa-Loompa Album; It has nine illustrations in total. The player can also find all five letters that make up WONKA in each of five levels to unlock one mini-game each; five mini-games are available to unlock. For both the mini-games and photo album, the player initially starts with none to play or look at.

The player starts with five lives, and has a life bar of five segments, which resemble connected pieces of chocolate. When the player's life bar is low, a full Wonka bar can restore it to full energy. Whenever the player loses all lives in the main game, he/she gets a still Game Over screen before being taken back to the first game menu. If the player wants to proceed through the story after losing all lives, he/she must restart on the same level where the player lost. Each level that gets completed is replayable, and they can help the player fulfill the Mini-Games and the Oompa-Loompa Album.
