History VideoGame / JumpStartAdventures3rdGradeMysteryMountain

* DigitalBikini: In the game's Arabic localization, Polly's green sock are extended into green pant legs, covering up the bare legs that she was flaunting in the original version.

* UpdatedRerelease: This game's later releases don't come with quite as many changes as the ''[[VideoGame/JumpStartAdventures4thGradeHauntedIsland 4th Grade]]'' re-release, but they do feature some. Most of these changes involve paring down the amount of exposition. Also, in the original release, the number of invention points needed to access the time machine room increased by 500 for each disk, but in later releases, the required number of invention points is permanently fixed at 1,000.

* DeadpanSnarker: Botley has his moments. Eggbert admits a couple times that he [[SarcasmBlind has difficulty recognizing humor]], so many of his deadpan remarks are actually sincere.

* EnemyScan: Eggbert's Analyzer serves as a Specimen Scanner.

** Not shown, but Polly jokes about making a sandwich out of earthworms, that a frog has jumped out of a frying pan, and that [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking no one realizes broccoli is a flower when they eat it]]. Eggbert says he spends half his time keeping his specimens off her dinner table.

* FriendToAllLivingThings: Eggbert. Contrasted with Polly, who regularly cracks jokes that make her out to be an EnemyToAllLivingThings.

* JabbaTableManners: Botley says all robots eat like this. Polly mocks Eggbert for eating like this: it's not shown but Eggbert shamefully admits it's true because his schedule is so tight he tries to eat as quickly as possible. Mort is shown eating aggressively by eating the bowl containing the food, but unlike this trope he doesn't actually spill anything.

* TheNoseless: Polly tells Botley and Eggbert on two separate occasions that they'd look better with mustaches under their noses, then backs up and says they don't have noses. Eggbert adds he doesn't have hair, either.

* OneWheeledWonder: Maestro. He is the only android designed this way; Mrs. Beasley and Eggbert hover and the rest are bipedal.

* TheSleepless: Eggbert insists that robot scientists do not sleep.

** When returning to the present, Botley will sometimes say, "Now, [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture back to the future!]]"

** In the radium mission, Polly supposedly changed history so that people never realized that radium was poisonous. Except she sent the robot back to 1898, when radium was discovered, ''not'' to the 1920s when radium's toxicity became known. When history is put back on course, Marie Curie is shown wearing her two Nobel medals. Of course, she won them in 1903 and 1911, so she wouldn't have them yet in 1898. And as usual, there's no mention of poor Pierre Curie. Pierre and Marie Curie worked together to isolate radium, but Pierre is half-forgotten now due to Marie's status as ''the'' token female scientist.

A game in the ''VideoGame/JumpStart'' series of {{Edutainment Game}}s. Originally released in [[TheNineties 1996]], this game has been given some [[UpdatedRerelease minor alterations]] over the years. By the time of its last re-release in 2003, it was the oldest product still in the ''[=JumpStart=]'' line. It was discontinued only when [[Creator/JumpStartGames Knowledge Adventure]] phased out the traditional ''[=JumpStart=]'' line in favor of a massively multiplayer online game located at jumpstart.com.

* ExtremeOmnivore: Not shown, but Polly jokes about making a sandwich out of earthworms, that a frog has jumped out of a frying pan, and that [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking no one realizes broccoli is a flower when they eat it]]. Eggbert says he spends half his time keeping his specimens off her dinner table.

'''Egbert''': Oh dear, she's cooking my specimens again!
