Plot
There is a minimal plot - The muppets are on a cruise ship & the player can assume the identity of six Muppets (Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Pepe the Prawn & Animal) while playing what is essentially a collection of mini-games (such as shuffleboard & a clone of the video game "Asteroids").

The game begins in the engine room of the ship, where Pepe had accidentally booked the Muppets' cabins. There are 5 decks total in the game, and the object of each deck is to win the required amount of same-colored party favors (Starting at 3 in the engine room, and one for each deck.

Gameplay
The game featured two "modes" that can be played : The Short Cruise & the Long Cruise.

The Short Cruise mode is a non-linear collection of multiplayer mini-games. This mode does not immediately have all the mini-games that is available on the CD.

The Long Cruise mode is a linear collection of mini-games. By completing various stages in this mode, the player can "unlock" additional mini-games to play.

As is customary with games released solely / primarily for a gaming console, there are "unlockable" features - Features where the player needs to achieve a certain goal (ex. setting a high score or winning a section of the game) before they can be played or experienced by the player. The "unlockable" features for this game are other mini-games.

It features original music by Chris Tilton, including a song sung by Kermit.
