4	A 2000 PlatformGame based on ''WesternAnimation/SabrinaTheAnimatedSeries'' for the ''Platform/GameBoyColor'' developed by ''Creator/WayforwardTechnologies''.
5
6	In an effort to boost her magic show, Sabrina conjures up a spell that would make the crowd "wild" for her. However, The spell turns all of the audience participants into wild animals. Sabrina and Salem have to round up the animals and zap her audience members back to normal before they destroy the school!
7
8	In this game, you take control of Sabrina as she platforms her way through levels in her search for the animal audience members. She has to find each animal in the stage and "zap" them back to normal (Get it?). Players can accomplish this by disabling the animals first by jumping on them, and then using her magical spell. Sabrina's magic starts off fairly weak, but can be upgraded by collecting stars littered through the stages. Along the way players will encounter Salem, who will help out by crawling through narrow gaps Sabrina can't get through and open pathways for her that will allow her to get to new locations in the level, and more animals to zap. The game has that staple Wayforward magic, with very expressive sprites, colors and fluid sprite animation.

10	The game received a sequel, ''VideoGame/SabrinaTheAnimatedSeriesSpooked'' in 2001.
