Winnie the Pooh: Adventures in the 100 Acre Wood is an Adventure Game for the Game Boy Color developed by NewKidCo and TOSE and published by NewKidCo and Disney Interactive in 2000 as part of the Winnie the Pooh franchise. You play as the titular character in the titular forest, taking part in adventures inspired by the book's events (from The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh). Completing them lets you get two storybooks, but failing only grants you one. Get all eight story books for a surprise.
Most of the gameplay is like a board game. You throw the dice and generally have to reach a specific spot to win before the computer does, but there are some twists to make the game more interesting. The game does not have multiplayer functionality.
This game provides examples of:
- 100% Completion: Fully beating the game requires you to complete four missions (thus gaining eight story books) and reaching all three goals in each explorable area.
- And the Adventure Continues: Reach Christopher Robin without all eight storybooks and he'll tell Pooh he still hasn't fully explored the woods. Then they decide to go there together with Piglet and you get to watch them walk into the distance.
- An Interior Designer Is You: Walking up to Pooh's table lets him change furniture unlocked for winning the board game from the mirror against different characters.
- Breather Episode: Pooh can often come across various normal non-competitive board games hosted by Owl, which will determine the breach in Pooh's path. Landing on moon and sun steps takes Pooh to one of his friends, while star steps take him to minigames.
- Catching Some Z's: Pooh has zs above his head when he goes to bed.
- Delicious Distraction: If a character lands on a spot with their Trademark Favorite Food, they'll spend the next two turns eating it instead of moving.
- Developer's Foresight: If you win one portion of an adventure but fail the other and vice versa, you will not get the storybook.
- Fishing Minigame: Tigger's minigame has Pooh catch 25 fish (but not turtles) before it gets dark.
- Idle Animation: Pooh looks around and thinks while standing.
- Inevitable Waterfall: Serves as the "game over" point in the Blustery Day level, if Pooh is unable to reach Piglet in time.
- Luck-Based Mission: Generally the whole game relies on the use of this.
- Minigame: There are four minigames you can play by finding a star exit while exploring the Wood. Each one can be replayed in Pooh's wardrobe.
- Multiple Endings: Each adventure has two possible endings, one for successfully completing it, and another for failing. Both versions can be viewed in Pooh's bedroom cabinet, and both can be collected at once if won the first time.
- Out of Focus: Roo, despite being one of the playable characters in the bonus board game, does not appear anywhere in the main story. In the bonus storybook retelling the climax of The Tigger Movie, Roo's line in the letter to Tigger is said by Rabbit.
- Rubber-Band A.I.: In the second adventure, when Piglet hasn't made much progress, he'll roll normally, but if he goes too far, he'll stick to using 1/2 cards from his inventory. Justified as he is about fall off a waterfall and hopes Pooh will reach and rescue him.
- Save-Game Limits: The game uses only one save file.
- "Simon Says" Mini-Game: Kanga's minigame has Pooh do a sequence of exercises with arrows corresponding to them, then the player must repeat them accordingly.
- Stealth-Based Mission: The fourth adventure has Pooh hide from Tigger for 10 turns. He can hide behind the trees if he lands on a space with an arrow.
- The End: The words are shown after the ending.
- Timed Mission: During the board game portion, if there's a time limit, the interface turns yellow if some time has passed and red if you're almost out of time.
- The part where Rabbit has to find Pooh's friends to rescue him has to be done in 18 turns.
- Eeyore has to be reached within 8 turns.
- Piglet's minigame has Pooh collect 55 acorns within 100 seconds (1:40 minutes).
- Tigger's minigame has to be completed before dark (approximately a minute).
