History VideoGame / TheCatInTheHat

* AdaptationalVillainy: Mr. Quinn is far more malicious in the game compared to the film. His villainous role in the film was [[VillainyFreeVillain purely from being a jerk.]] The game, however, has him collecting magic and trying to kill the Cat so he could take over the world.

* AdaptationalHeroism: The Fish in the film is antagonistic towards the Cat, where they are often seen arguing with each other. He plays a bigger supportive role in the game, where he can be seen throughout the various levels giving advice to the Cat.

** In the game's intro, the Cat [[Lampshade Hanging complains about this, and that he was not informed the game was going to turn Quinn into a would-be world conquering supervillain.]]

->''"Okay, here's the story. It was a windy, rainy day. Then, to everyone's surprise, I turn up and cheer up some kids. But then, what do you know. My magical crate is opened, the lock stolen. Magic leaks out and the ''whole world'' is in danger! Thus I, the most stylish cat ever to be seen in a hat - you know me - have to recapture all the loose magic which is transforming the house, and recover the lock from Mr. Quinn, their nasty next-door neighbor who is also trying to collect the magic in order to make himself immensely powerful. Hey, what's this 'him being immensely powerful'? That wasn't in my script! Yeah, okay. So the script's changed. And when exactly were you planning on telling me, the '''star of this whole adventure?''' Yeah, you know what, okay, whatever! Okay, ladies and gentlemen, the ride is almost over. Thank you for flying Cat In The Hat Airlines and please, get ready to press the start button so we can get this whole mess tidied up!"''

The Cat In The Hat videogame, made by Magenta and published by Vivendi Universal Games, is a TwoAndAHalfD PlatformGame that was released in November of 2003 for the Xbox, Playstation 2, Gameboy Advance, and PC. It concerns Mr. Quinn, the next-door neighbor of Conrad and Sally, who steals the Cat in the Hat's Crablock. The Crablock is the lock to the Cat's crate full of magic, and without that lock holding it closed, the magic will corrupt the entire house (and, eventually, the world). You, as the titular Cat, must jump, run, and glide through a variety of colorful levels based on common household furniture to collect the magic ([[GottaCatchThemAll along with anything else you can find]]) and save the world.

* EvilLaugh: Mr. Quinn has one, if the BossBanter is anything to go by.

* LevelAte: Freezer Burn, while also being a SlippeySlidyIceWorld, parades the player past frozen-over ice cream, vegetables, takeout Chinese food, and canned soup, among many other foods.
* PivotBoss: Mr. Quinn's ship is centered inside a ring of platforms. He turns to face you as you run about him.

* PlatformBoss: Occurs in all the Mr. Quinn battles. In fact, in the final boss battle, the platforms ''disappear if you stand on them too long''. Don't linger!
