JumpStart All-Stars

The JumpStart All Stars are a group of characters featured in the JumpStart Advanced series. All of the characters are from previous JumpStart games.

The concept of the JumpStart All Stars is to provide different types of learning techniques for children. This is inspired by Howard Gardner's "Theory of Multiple Intelligences". Each character has their own specific learning style, so children can find the best way that they learn.

At the beginning of a game, the player is advised to take the All Star Match Up Quiz to find out which character is best suited for them. The quiz is meant to gauge the player's personality and learning style.

In all of the JumpStart Advanced games, the JumpStart All Stars can all be reached by clicking the star button in the lower right corner. This brings up a walkie-talkie to call the characters with.
