JumpStart 1st Grade Spelling: Frankie's Word Jungle

JumpStart 1st Grade Spelling: Frankie's Word Jungle is a handheld electronic dedicated console game released by Toymax in 1999. It stars Frankie with his updated series design. It is intended to teach spelling for 1st Grade.

Description
Players help Frankie spell words by catching letters that a monkey throws from a tree. A word will briefly flash on the screen, and then some of its letters will disappear. The player must move Frankie left and right with the two arrow buttons and catch letters in the correct order to fill in the blank spaces in the word. Catching the correct letters awards the player with points, which are added to the player's overall score. Once the player finishes a word, another will appear. The player must complete a certain number of words to finish a level.

The game also has a timer feature. The player's remaining time is represented by bananas at the right of the screen. The player starts with five bananas. After a certain amount of time passes, the player loses one banana. When all the bananas are lost, this means the player has run out of time, and the game is over.

There are three difficulty levels. After completing a level, the player is automatically moved to the next level.

Difficulty Level Differences

 * Level one: Players must spell 3-letter words.
