The North American cover to the first Stitch Jam.
Disney Stitch Jamnote is a 2009 Rhythm Game for Nintendo DS developed by Cattle Call and published by Disney Interactive Studios that serves as a tie-in game for the Stitch! anime. It was released in Japan on December 3, 2009, in North America on March 23, 2010, and in Europe on March 26, 2010, and is based on the first two seasons of the show, Stitch! and Stitch! ~The Mischievous Alien's Great Adventure~, both produced by Madhouse. A sequel by the same developer, Motto! Stitch! DS: Rhythm de Rakugaki Daisakusen ♪,note was released only in Japan on November 18, 2010, and is based on the Shin-Ei Animation-produced third season, Stitch! ~Best Friends Forever~.
Tropes relating to the Stitch Jam games include:
- Aliens Speaking English: If it has Stitch's name in the title (and, whaddayaknow, both these games do), then you should expect Earth-language talking aliens in the cutscenes.
- And Your Reward Is Clothes:
- Players can unlock outfits for the experiments to wear in both games.
- The North American version, which has Disney's Nintendo DS-based Friending Network DGamer, allows players to unlock Lilo & Stitch-themed items and clothes for their DGamer avatars upon completing levels in Story Mode.
- Ascended Extra: Felix (X-010) is not one of the Mid Six-Twos (who are all among the franchise's major characters) and doesn't appear in the main story at all, yet he's playable in Free Mode and Challenge Mode.
- The Cameo:
- Finder (X-158) and Slugger (X-608) appear in one of the first game's stages despite not appearing in any cutscene or even being mentioned by name in the game, with the former not having even appeared in any episode of the anime the game's based on.
- BooGoo appears on the title screen of the first game.
- Damsel in Distress: Angel is held captive by Gantu and Hämsterviel in the first game's Story Mode.
- Flanderization: Even though Stitch became a fluent English speaker (in the English dub) by the anime's second season, his cutscene dialogue in the English version of the first game has him speaking broken English again with his famous illeism, even adding ellipses to represent him speaking words (usually his own name) a bit slowly.
- Late-Arrival Spoiler: The game refers to 625 by his name Reuben, which he received in Lilo & Stitch: The Series Grand Finale Leroy & Stitch.
- Playable Epilogue: The first game's Bonus Story mode, unlocked from playing Free Mode, has the player play as Angel as she roams around Izayoi Island during her date with Stitch.
- Post-End Game Content: In the first game, Free Mode is unlocked after completing Story Mode along with the ability to play as Angel (X-624), Reuben (X-625), and Felix (X-010). Further content is unlocked by earning stars in Free Mode.
- Title Scream: The Japanese version of the first game has a bunch of kids shouting the game's title on the title screen, with each word appearing on the screen one at a time. The English version does not have this.
