Disney’s The Emperor’s New Groove is a 3D platformer released for the PlayStation in 2000, developed by Argonaut Games. Based on the animated Disney film, players control the arrogant Emperor Kuzco, who has been transformed into a llama. The game closely follows the movie’s comedic storyline as Kuzco journeys back to his palace to regain his human form, featuring voice acting that matches the film’s signature humor, alongside varied platforming and puzzle-solving gameplay.
How to Play
Your goal is to guide Kuzco through multiple chapters, defeating Yzma’s guards and navigating environmental hazards. In the browser emulator, the default PlayStation controls map the D-pad to the arrow keys. The main action buttons (Cross, Circle, Square, Triangle) are typically mapped to Z, X, A, and S. Use Enter for Start to pause the game and Shift for Select.
Tips
- Keep an eye out for transformation potions; changing into different animals like a frog or turtle is required to pass certain obstacles.
- Master Kuzco’s spit attack to deal with enemies from a safe distance before they can close in.
