Ratso is a male rat character who appeared in JumpStart Math for Second Graders.

Appearance
Ratso has white fur, a red nose, and light pink eyes. He wears a tunic that is light gray on the right side and darker gray on the left side, with a row of red triangular trim pieces at the bottom. He also wears red gloves, red boots, and a long olive-green cape.

Personality
Ratso thinks highly of himself. He is constantly scheming and creating traps for CJ.

In the Game
Ratso is the main antagonist of JumpStart Math for Second Graders. He takes over the kingdom and casts a spell that traps all of the royal subjects except the Princess in a mirror. Then he declares himself king. CJ and Edison are out to foil his scheme and bring order back to kingdom.

Ratso has set up several traps called 'Ratty Challenges' around the castle. These are challenges that CJ and Edison must complete, or else they'll be sent to the dungeon. Ratso also has four henchmen, who are also rats. They mainly appear in the Banquet Hall activity, although sometimes a henchman will appear to give CJ a challenge.

Each time the player collects an ingredient for a potion or frees a Royal Prisoner, Ratso will appear in a short cutscene to express his displeasure or taunt CJ.

The player can't enter Ratso's lair until they have freed all of the Royal Prisoners and collected 100 bravery points. Then the player can challenge Ratso. The player has to beat Ratso in a game of Tic Tac Ratso.
