Of course, since Buzz is deluded, he doesn't understand that [[CannotTellFictionFromReality the claw machine is just a game and not a real spaceship,]] so every time he thinks it's been fixed and is about to take off, all he ends up doing is picking up Woody with the claw. Needless to say, the [[CaptainObvious ship never actually does take off no matter how many times you solve puzzles.]]

After Woody corrects him, Buzz becomes transfixed at the camera while Woody explains to the player how to go to the other play areas.

The games had a very simple premise -- it was usually five or so [[EdutainmentGame edutainment]] minigames or some form of creative activity (such as a coloring book) that the player could play. There weren't any overarching end goals or any story to follow, though occasionally some of the activities would recreate scenes from the movie.

Of course, since Buzz is deluded, he doesn't understand that [[CannotTellFictionFromReality the claw machine is just a game and not a real spaceship,]] so every time he thinks it's been fixed and is about to take off, all he ends up doing is picking up Woody with the claw. Needless to say, the [[CaptainObvious ship never actually does take off no matter how many times you solve puzzles.]]
* CutAndPasteEnvironments: ''Aladdin'' has this in spades. You can go to three different locations (the streets of Agrabah, the Cave of Wonders, and the palace), but they all sport the exact same minigames just with a different coat of paint. This even includes the ''coloring minigame'', which otherwise looks and plays exactly the same just with a different border (the bulk of the screen is taken up by the drawing pad, but the background matches wherever you are).
* DaydreamBeliever: Buzz is in his deluded phase through the entirety of ''Toy Story Activity Center''. He does go out of character to give the player instructions though.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first two games (''Aladdin'' and ''Lion King'') are a lot simpler and more rudimentary, in terms of activities offered and in terms of design. ''Aladdin'' in particular has a lot of it, particularly with the CutAndPasteEnvironments (see above), the lack of characters featured from the movie (Abu and the Genie are the only two to get any significant roles, and even Abu is just confined to one minigame), and the fact that the movie clips offered run ''way'' longer than many of the other games (some almost as long as a minute and a half!). Of course, after the third game, the inclusion of movie clips was dropped altogether in any case.
* NoFourthWall: The characters in-game are always able to talk directly to the player.
* NoPlotNoProblem: As mentioned above, there is never any attempt to form a plot around any of the games.
* OnceAnEpisode: Expect to see a recurring theme at least once every game. There will almost always be a coloring book or some other sort of creative minigame, a SimonSaysMinigame, among other things.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: The characters will occasionally go out of character to explain the instructions to the player. Possibly the most jarring example is the brief moment when ''Sid'' of all people acts completely level-headed for a few minutes in ''Toy Story'' to explain his sound box to the player. Granted, it's an audio recording, but still!
* SimonSaysMinigame: Almost OnceAnEpisode. Just to give an idea of how common these were, the first three games ''each'' had their own variant of Simon.
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: A few of the early games had actual clips from their respective movies for you to watch as you pleased...and some of them included clips that were ''very late'' in the movie's run time. For instance, ''Aladdin'' has a clip that completely spoils the fact that Jafar gets the magic lamp towards the end and becomes an all-powerful ruler. Another one in ''Toy Story'' shows both Buzz and Woody successfully lighting the rocket, and the "falling with style" IronicEcho. It seems the idea was that you would have seen the movie first and would have played the game later, but a lot of children who played these games can easily say this wasn't always the case for some reason or another (they played it at a friends' house, they got it as a gift without having known of the movie...).
