These Punk-Punks have fur and paws, and live only on land. They inhabit AdventureLand. Their fur can be a variety of colors, although brown seems to be the most common. Their mouths are typically not visible when closed.

Sleeping Punk-Punks[]

This is a variation of Land-dwelling Punk-Punks, distinguished by their sleepy demeanor and sleeping caps. They always have closed eyes and a bit of drool coming out of their mouths. They differ from other Punk-Punks in a particular way - jumping on them produces a much higher bounce than a normal Punk-Punk.

Shadow Punks[]

These are a rare breed of Punk-Punk whose appearance varies greatly from the land-dwelling and water-dwelling Punk-Punks. They have more rectangular bodies with gray skin, several points on top of their heads, and skinny arms and legs with claws. Their eyes, which resemble orbs, can come in a few colors, such as yellow, green and purple. They typically have open mouths with visible teeth, and small bat wings coming out of their backs.

Personality and Characteristics[]

Punk-Punks are generally described as pesky, mischevious troublemakers. They do not appear to speak, but make growling or grumbling sounds.

In JumpStart Magic & Mythies, Shadow Punks are described as nasty creatures that harm nature and damage the environment.

History[]

Land-dwelling and water-dwelling Punk-Punks once roamed freely throughout all of JumpStart, causing mischief and havoc wherever they went. In 1900, the panic caused by the Punk-Punks, which came to be known as "The Punk Punk Fiasco of 1900", lead to the formation of the organization S.P.L.A.T., which sought to deal with the troublesome Punk-Punks. The efforts of S.P.L.A.T. resulted in the Punk-Punks being contained in AdventureLand and MarineLand.

Shadow Punks are said to have attacked Terra about 100 years prior to the events of JumpStart Magic & Mythies.

In the Games[]

World of JumpStart[]

Punk-Punks appeared as enemies in several places. Land-dwelling Punk-Punks inhabited AdventureLand, water-dwelling Punk-Punks inhabited MarineLand, and Shadow Punks inhabited Poseidon's Hangout. All three kinds of Punk-Punks could be temporarily stunned by jumping on them, and then defeated by ground pounding them. Defeating a Punk-Punk would reward the player with a JumpStart coin.

Punk-Punks also appeared in various activities, once again as obstacles for the player to avoid, such as in Dodge n' Dash and Bubble Trouble.

The game also featured some Punk-Punk themed outfit pieces, such as a hat resembling a land Punk-Punk and a jacket with a Punk-Punk illustration on it.

JumpStart Deep Sea Escape[]

Water-dwelling Punk-Punks appear in this game as obstacles.

JumpStart Escape from Adventure Island[]

Land-dwelling and water-dwelling Punk-Punks appear in this game as obstacles.

JumpStart Crazy Karts[]

Punk-Punks appear on the obstacles.

JumpStart Punk Punk Blitz[]

This is a puzzle game where players have to quickly match up Punk-Punks. In this game, Punk-Punks come in several colors, each with a different facial expression as well: orange (angry), yellow (scared), green (sick), light blue (confused), dark blue (gloomy), brown (sleepy), and pink (feminine). When Punk-Punks are matched, they can form bonuses, such as bombs, swirls, and clocks. The bombs have the same color and face of the type of Punk-Punk they were formed from.

JumpStart Magic & Mythies[]

In this game, Shadow Punks invade Terra, and elves and Mages band together to thwart them. They are sorted into three types by their eye color: Green, Yellow and Purple. Green Shadow Punks are the most common and easiest to beat, and attack at close range only. Yellow Shadow Punks are less common, and are harder to beat since they hide and attack from a distance with energy blasts because they are somewhat cowardly. Purple Shadow Punks are the rarest and largest, and inflict the most damage by attacking from a distance with shadow blasts, but are unable to move because of their size. Each type of Shadow Punk drops either a green, yellow or purple Shadow Core depending on their type.

Trivia[]

  • Shadow Punks are mentioned in an error message in World of JumpStart. If the player experiences a connection error, the error message will say "Oh no, looks like the Shadow Punks are at it again! Please try to connect again later."
