This arcade-style game cartridge is designed for new LeapPad and Leapster Explorers (both this year and last year). It will not work on the original Leapster. In the game, Phineas and Ferb decide to build the ultimate water balloon launcher, but Dr. Doofensmirtz has other plans. Activities include: Experiment with Electricity - children can complete circuits with different materials that conduct and insulate electricity; Thwart Evil with Simple Machines - learn about different types of simple machines and use them to guide Agent P to Dr. Doofensmirtz’ hiding place; Rebuild Engineering Blueprints - children must use logic and spatial reasoning skills to piece together blueprints for the ultimate water balloon launcher; and Get Ready for Launch with Math - lets children practice addition, subtraction and multiplication skills to power up the balloon launcher and to deactivate the stinkbots. All in all, this is a fun cartridge with a variety of things to do.
