The Nonsense of Jump Start Learning
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ค. 2023
- Jump Start was the well-known digital learning franchise of the 90s and early 2000s, with two out of every three human beings on earth having played them at least once. Do these un-verified claims suggest that school itself, or at least the general education of K-12, be taught, learned, and ingested using only these legendary learning linkin logs? I find out tee hee.
Note we are only going through the main grade games of both the updated and original series of JS games (at least for now){this is a hint at future projects}[only if I decide to]((hello))

Thats very nice 👌
Yo dude I had a re-release from like 2009 of all these old games as a 2-month baby
you need to play the pajama sam games
I'd follow your patreon but I'm saving up for an Xbox One
peter is cool
They need a jumpstart college education version, i want to cat to teach me psychology
Or physics, calculus, economics, accounting, etc.
Dude, I don't want college, but I want that!!!!
Well, there was a jumpstart Spanish. I don’t know if that counts.
thats what newgrounds is for
i want a dog to teach me philosophy
I remember one of the Jump Start games made me so mad as a kid that I kicked my full body mirror and broke it. Not because of the educational stuff, but because I accidentally named a pet in the game with a cool hot rod-style pattern “Blossom” instead of something cooler, and it was impossible to change it.
I'm cackling 😂
I take it you were able to make it through those bad seven years, following your breakage of the mirror, quite well?
@@MilesEdgeworth129 Hah! Nope. Anxiety disorder go brrr.

Man, I played the heck out of the 3rd Grade game as a kid. Seeing you put it in S tier makes me feel validated somehow.
Yeah, the 3rd Grade one slapped, tbh
I played it to death too. I think I still have the cd-rom somewhere
It was so enjoyable that I would go back to play it several years after I finished 3rd grade. The minigames were actually games, the atmosphere was exciting, the sprite art was beautiful and had a lot of personality.
it actually blows my mind seeing so many people that have played this game. I never knew anyone back then that played these so this is just so cool
YES SAME! I remember thinking the story was really interesting as a 3rd grader, too. Like friendly robot has to stop evil scientist girl from destroying the world? I was so into that.
I remember as a kid, i played the 3rd grade game while i was still in first grade. I genuinely thought that it was evidence that i was some kind of savant or something.
Same here
Same.
Same and then played 4th grade and loved it.
As a sheltered homeschooler in the 90’s, these first edition JumpStart games were my teachers, video games and lifeblood.
EDIT: I never finished 4th grade because I was too scared to enter the witch’s house, though I strangely did like getting lost in the overworld map. So cool-looking.
The joke that Patter the Natter keeps trying to put his full name and fails miserably is so funny
It think the fact that it almost always stops after the na makes it even funnier
Oops you can enter only 12 letters!
I like that the games eventually point out the limitation to him ( ͡° ل͜ ͡°)
Ok, honestly, these transitions are on point. Whether these are models of yourself or just visual trick, it looks great
Haunted Island DID technically get a rerelease in 97-98 that made the game a lot more user-friendly. Not only did it include an in-game map you could warp around with (the original release stuck the map in the user's guide as a weird form of copy protection) but it reduced the amount of minigames you needed to play to get an item from 3 to 2, making the game a lot shorter. 4th Grade is easily my favorite and I did a whole video about it. Definitely worth checking out.
I'm so sad he didn't play it more, it's legit such a fun game lol
I loved 4th grade. My older siblings had it when I was a kid... I was definitely a little spooked by it then but it's pure nostalgia now
I literally just bought some of my old non-educational games since my originals were “lost”😂
Yep the original 4th grade jumpstart is SO FUN!! He didn't really give it a chance
@@alexissortor1331Fr it was by far the best jump start game
oh my god??? this is bringing back so much nostalgia. my mom had a disk for a jumpstart game that she would pop in and let me play on her old laptop. i also had an account on their online virtual world that i was able to recover because of this. when i saw this video pop up in my feed i freaked out because i almost forgot that these games existed.
edit: i dont think the game we had was any of these
I do have a copy of KnowledgeLand, was it this one?
th-cam.com/video/pzcfoC4Yv38/w-d-xo.html
(Jumpstart made quite a few MMOs it seems, including one that has been around until 2023.)
@@budderpecan4185 I had knowledge land, it came with a complete box set we got with the original versions of the game. I couldn't figure out anything to do with it besides follow around other users. I assume I was just a dumb kid, though I'd also believe that it was just an advertisement for the games I already had
The 3D jumpstart games hit hard af as a kid
Those are the ones I specifically remember
the color meister one had me STRESSED
The 3D ones are my childhood. The leapfrog too.
frrr jumpstart cooked haunted island ngl
I grew up with JumpStart 3rd Grade. It's really cool to see patter check out something from my childhood.
I played Jumpstart 3rd grade to death as a kid. The fact that you placed it in S tier warms my heart lol Always wondered what the rest were like also!
Jumpstart 1st Grade (the 1995 version) was quite possibly the #1 edutainment game of my childhood growing up.
I agree with you. It seems to be my favorite. I played it in 2007 and 2008 on my Windows XP laptop.
For whatever reason, what I payed attention to the most in the vid is the fact that Peter looks like the '90s compressed into a single person.
Or, at the very least, what 40-somethings thought kids and teens in the '90s looked like.
I think I'm offended, but I'm too old to tell
@@peter_knetter
Ah, but you're young at heart, Sir Patter!
Old soul though, definitely... I think.
EDIT:
I also meant that that's what 40-somethings *in the '90s* thought kids/teens look liked. Dunno how I failed to convey that at first lol.
@@The-Plaguefellow one shall not ponder the age of the patter
I don’t understand any of these words
@@PearlRBLX tf is a 'the'
For future reference, you can set the resolution of Windows to 640x480 or 800x600 so older game windows aren't the size of postage stamps
True but it doesn't always work though
I appreciate the amount of effort you put into this one. The over the top transitions and larger than life tier list are so unnecessary but made things incredibly charming. Keep it up!
Thanks tons! I appreciate that.
@@peter_knetterit’s very reminiscent of something I’d catch on PBSkids at 11pm, after falling asleep watching TV in the living room (complimentary)
The whole video was a TIME MACHINE of repressed memories!!! The HOWL of surprise when I heard the phrase "bone vault." I never got through 4th grade, even in 6th grade, so I felt vindicated seeing you struggle (?) with it.
Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
I have very vague memories of playing Jumpstart 3rd Grade as a kid, but I discovered the Cluefinders games and never looked back. I would love to see a sequel to this with those games 👀
yes!! please do cluefinders!!
“You rock. You roll. You make fractions from a whole!”
Yes!!! Came here to say the same!
@@alxndria1 ...this entire time I thought it was "you make fractions from a hole," as in I made the fractions appear from nowhere HAHA
I remember playing the 3rd grade one as a kid. Back then, I was like "oh yeah Polly shouldn't be playing with time cus she got a zero on her test". Now, I realize Polly was 100% correct and we should have blown up her teacher for giving her a zero instead of just telling her to retake the test but seriously this time.
(For clarification, the plotline of the 3rd game is that Polly got a zero on a test, because she knew all of the answers and simply made jokes on the test. The teacher gave her a zero, and Polly, upset because the teacher KNEW she knew the answers and was making jokes, went and started going through time to make it so her answers were correct. ie. making people believe the center of the solar system was herself, instead of the Sun.)
I was thinking “there’s no way this guy is able to review this entire series in 23 minutes, there’s got to be another part coming later.” But oh boy he went and did it! Amazing
He didn't really cover any of the 3D games though, or the MMO
I used to play Jumpstart online, which, looking back, was a funny social hangout with no learning and sometimes a madagascar collaboration. Oh, and the Wii game. Would love to see a second part to this if possible lol. Its great to see the history of Jumpstart before I started playing
BRB gonna set my avatar to the unicorn and ride the coaster
Are you talking about the adventure island one, because I don't know if there are multiple wii games but that's the one I had
Best MMO. Only one that comes close is math blaster.
God, Jumpstart 2nd grade was my jam. I listened to the noun song so many times it remained wedged in my head even over a decade later.
In a manner of speaking, a person, place, or thing,
I'd love you to try the Reader Rabbit series eventually! I think you'd have so much fun with those more story driven educational games.
Reader rabbit was my favorite!
Yesss the camping game!
I would genuinely love to see this. And the Arthur games 🥹
That's what I said! Learn to Read with Phonics is my favorite.
That was my childhood.
I would fail school in 5 seconds
Real.
At least you tried! Good job! 👍
I love how Peter does so much for everyone and makes everybody happy and cares!! Love ya Peter and love your vids!! Also how's Pikabob? Just wanna know
Edit: Also thanks everyone for the likes!! Means a lot to me!! 🙏❤
Thanks very much. He just got a job at Farmers Insurence. Moving up 👍
Good for him!!
@@peter_knetterhopefully he’ll get his own apartment soon
I got slapped by nostalgia with the Jumpstart Kindergarten one. That bird was probably sick of me typing my name when I was little. I remembered every segment of that game vividly. Good Lord! Core memory unlocked.
Yes same! The ABC harmony song, the rats, Russian dolls- everything. it's all so vivid.
The entertainment value in witnessing how the Jump Start Cinematic Universe does not have enough letter space for Patter's whole handle...
Dude imagine if he rated the Humungous Entertainment games.
I'd be so psyched.
Those were (and still are) my life 🤣❤️
Yes! Hoping there are more like this
Hopefully he'll have the Pajama Sam series at the top!
I have something to confess and this feels like the place to do it. I played jumpstart 3rd grade all the time as a child and developed a massive crush on Botley. I was homeschooled which may be partially to blame.
I'm pretty sure being homeschooled is a legal requirement to have these games be a part of someone's childhood
Patter is so smart after playing all these educational games
I swear there was a pre-school one with a duck that I would play repeatedly. It drove my dad (who was homeschooling me, a me who was past pre-school) absolutely nuts
I think I remember playing a preschool game with a duck too.
@@pikminfan6778 I looked it up! It was dee-dee, the yellow duck from JumpStart Toddlers (1999)
I remember playing the first kindergarten game. You missed showing all the fun stuff, like hide and seek with the hamster, or that game with the mouse where you gotta get open the path so he can get to the cheese. Don't forget you could take pictures of the wildlife outside and then color them. Some of the animals only flashed on screen for a second so it was tricky to snap some of them
Seeing that the only one I had as a child was grade 4 haunted house, if it was replaced by that newer version I would have raged, it was kinda hard to scare me with that sort of stuff.
'95 Jumpstart 1st Grade is peak nostalgia for me (and the only one I ever owned), the fact you consider it D tier makes me sad lmao
my roommate just introduced me to your channel and this video helped me solve the mystery of which jumpstart game i had as a kid! it was the UPDATED preschool game. your jokes and editing style are a lot of fun :]
Dude, Peter, you never fail to impress me with your editing skills man. The 3d transitions AND the ending are crazy!! Would LOVE to know how you do them because they are just beyond amazing, like I'm speechless man.
Seriously dude, keep up the amazing work 🤓👍
here after Peter changed the title and thumbnail, the old title was “Redoing School Using Only JumpStart Games” 😂
Shhhhhh. You were never here...
I swear man I would love for a company like Knowledge Adventure to turn up and make classic style edutainment games like these! No 3D or anything like that. I want my kids to play good old animated point-and-click games!
Ok, Peter, I know you probably won't read this but I've been watching you for about 4 years now and you still suprise me with every video you upload. Every video i see how you're trying something new, your humor and the way you edit your videos are always on point. I'm genuinely proud. Thank you for doing what you do and i wish you all the happiness in the world or at least half of it
I remember playing the heck out of JumpStart Spanish and Languages. To this day my mind randomly sings “I can’t wait for the JumpStart fair”
I would like to defend Haunted Island. I used to spend hours just watching my older sibling play it. It was genuinely very challenging, and the atmosphere and creepiness really kept us engaged. I had Jump Start First Grade, and I remember playing it a little, but Haunted Island was just so much better in every way. Also, it seems like kids now just don't have good edutainment games like this? My sibling and I were looking around for better games for our little cousins after watching them play horrible free mobile games at family holiday parties, and we couldn't find anything close to Math Blasters, Jump Start, or even Freddie Fish. Are these kinds of games just not being made anymore?
I think the reason that they didn't remake Haunted Island is because it was too scary. maybe?
My faves of the series were obviously from 3rd grade up as those were what I grew up on. Yeah, 4th grade for a 9 year old sitting alone on the computer in the living room while it rained outside was hella terrifying. That ghost that follows you around asking you questions and to "select the correct answer", the sfx in the game yeesh I think it's very cool now but still gives me the heeby jeebies
I’m transferring from college to university tomorrow so this honestly great material for the next semester, thank you Peter for educating your audience👍
I am very disappointed you didn’t play JumpStart Toddlers. I bloody loved playing that one in nursery 😂
You don't realize how happy this video makes me. I wish I had all these games on a shelf because they were such an integral part of my childhood. This and Reader Rabbit, of course. I don't know why but you acknowledging all of my childhood games while everyone else doesn't know they exist makes you much more attractive. Anyway thanks for the video, Patter the n
Legit so sad you didnt talk about my fave jumpstart games. One was explorer, great one and one was math, it was in a medieval setting with the frog. I also somehow played a diff jumpstart kindergarden, i remember it had go kart racing. Oh and i looooved the reader rabbit series too. I did play the robot one and it was probably my favorite. It was just a solid learning game. Fun, intuitive with a cute little story.
I played the one with the go karts!! It's jumpstart advanced kindergarten. I thought i was the only one
I have somewhat nostalgic feelings towards Jumpstart Typing because it taught typing but it was fun because it was a game.
"How'd you graduate from school in such short time?!"
"I played educational PC games from the 90's"
Makes me so happy to see 3rd Grade in S Tier. That was one of my childhood games that I'd play for hours, alongside Lego Rock Raiders and Lego Island
I kinda want Patter to go over the Cluefinders games now XD
Honestly, the early school years vibe what a whole thing in its own. just seeing it you can basically smell it too if you know what I mean.
Used to have the kindergarten one from when I was a kid. I remember one of my favorite things was clicking on the stereo in the room and listening to all the songs. 😂 Sad part, I remember each song word for word to this very day.
I played jump start preschool when I was a kid and I instantly recognized it from the thumbnail. Never clicked on a video faster.
This is the exact moment when patter became the smartest person on jumpstart🥶🥶
After all the times Jump Start wouldn't let you write your full name you finally get to your diploma and just write Peter, now that there's no character field limit lol
Dude!! You're bringing me back. I used to play the first game (kindergarten/preschool) one when I was little. This used to be my favorite game. At school,I would've begged my teacher to go on the computer to play this. When the time was over,I would've cry because I did'nt want to let it go off that game. It was a huge part of me growing up. I used to click on everything around. This is how I learned the it's bitsy spider song.
i know the internet is an infinitely expanding archive where everyone is talking about everything to ever exist all at once, but i still feel shocked to see someone making a video on this core memory that i never thought id remember lol
Seeing Peter upload is the highlight of my week. Thank you for blessing up with this masterpiece Peter!!! Love you/p!
Hey Peter. Really like what you're doing here. Was wondering if you'd consider doing the same but with The Learning Company's collection of 80s-90s video games. They've got some real bangers and some real duds, too. Hits include "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego," "Treasure Cove," and "Reader Rabbit."
Seriously the jumpstart third game was so fun. Creative concept and great execution. Didn't know the history of it was so complicated.
Is no one gonna mention the fact that Peter is speaking into a sword?
No?
Ok
It’s a micro-sword
My family had Jumpstart Pre-School (95) and Jumpstart 2nd and 3rd grade (96 and 97), and I absolutely loved Jumpstart 3rd grade. I always had a ton of fun with it. I still find myself humming the chalkboard songs from Jumpstart 2nd grade though.
I’m so glad you answered the “their” question correctly, for TH-cam. Jk but the editing was perfect in this video.
The 4th-grade, haunted-island one scared me so much with its atmosphere. When the ghost popped out the first time, I bolted downstairs to my mom to cry. I'm not sure I ever went back to that area or completed the game.
I still can't handle game jump scares, even when I know exactly when they'll trigger. Thanks, Jump Start, for scarring me for life 👍
I’m so glad to know I’m not the only grown adult who kept all of these games from my childhood for no discernible reason
The Editing in this video is fantastic. Goes to show how much Peter has improved.
Congrats Peter for getting good education! Truly a good example than most TH-camrs!
Is no one going to mention that the company behind JumpStart (Knowledge Adventure) just went out of business last month?
That transition though! That was slicker than an Alaskan icefield on a winter's morning lol
I was obsessed with Jumpstart 3rd grade as a kid. I remember beating it so many times. Jump start 4th grade scared the crap out of me
kindergarten 1994 was my favourite thing ever when i was a kid, i wasn't even aware that there were more games in the series. the cover of my game looked completely different than the one that you showed tho, it was called davidsons learning center series but it was the same game you had on lol
We used this in our libraries and schools, you unlocked so many memories... (I did play both versions of some because of different locations and random upgrades after my years)
Takes me back to when my parents bought our home computer. I would play Jump Start and Reader Rabbits every day after school
Any time Peter posts a video my day gets about 10 times better.
I remember having the jumpstart collection as a kid.
Kindergarten to 4th grade was the collection I hand at the time and knowledge land was kinda your off line toon town
Please tell me it wasn’t a fever dream that there were jumpstart games about grammar set in haunted houses. Because that’s most of what I remember from my family’s shared PC in the early 00’s 😭
Jumpstart, reader rabbit, Mythbusters, Dinosaurs 3d, Clue Finders...these games were my childhood.
Jumpstart 3rd grade was my favorite and I remember learning alot from that game up to 6th grade because of all the lessons on constellations, art, and the problem solving games it had. Jumpstart Music as well was alot of fun and made me appreciate music as a kid. My most played was undoubtingly Jumpstart 2nd grade Reading which was a Indiana Jones squeeze adventure and Jumpstart 2nd grade Math which also felt like a big adventure as a kid. Jumpstart Numbers was just kind of cozy. It actually made math fun for me.
Oh my god I was hit in the head with nostalgia with the kindergarten one.
I Luv u so much Peter! ❤❤ thanks for filling the void in my empty soul.
Edit: thx for liking Peter, even tho the creator heart did get deleted because I edited the comment. I’ve loved your stuff since 2019. Thank you for inspiring me to attempt to make content today. ❤️❤️
This has unlocked memories I forgot existed. I also used to love the reader rabbit series as a kid, fond memories of sitting with my dad playing through these :) thank you Peter.
This is iconic, such a great vid that scratched that nostalgic itch
Loving the consistent background inclusion of the Hot Wheels Nintendo Switch Backpack. I´m really happy about it and I want to thank Peter for spreading awareness about such obscure and almost forgotten pieces of hardware.
Thank you. I spend hundreds a week with upkeep and restoration. Humidity has to be just right to preserve it.
@@peter_knetter Holy moly, that´s what I call dedication. I guess that´s why you bought a whole basement to store it in? That´s really impressive.
1:01 Jokes on you, this is the only one I remember
I have been outplayed.
Oh! I LOVE JumpStart! 3rd Grade, 1st Grade Reading & 5th Grade were some of my absolute favorites! IT's one of my goals this year... to finish or re-finish all of the mainline JumpStart games (maybe some of the "advanced" ones as well along with a lot of other educational adventures games. :)
I remember playing the 2nd grade one in elementery school, but had no idea what it was called before now. Thank you for unlocking this part of my childhood.
This is great. Patter should have 100 million subs!
I have been trying to get TH-cam to gift me them to no avail
peter does so much for us and im happy he cares
I had a bunch of jumpstart games when I was a kid, but somehow not any of the ones you covered here. The version of kindergarten I was was "Kindergarten Reading". And I didn't recognize much of the higher level ones either :/. There was one I had where it explained fractions by filling up lunch trays. Don't remember what grade that was. Pretty sure the ones I played most were Jumpstart Music and Jumpstart Spanish though. I might've just forgotten about a lot of them. Fun video!
The side eye of the cat😂 “color. Color. Color.” Great, unique video! I love the originality. So fun and nolstalgic😊👏🏾👏🏾
the robot game mystery mountain is the most nostalgic game for me ❤
I just realized this man plays kids edutainment games for a living. Then I realized I collect circles with music on them and I don’t get paid for it.
As someone that grew up on Jumpstart and considers it a major hyperfixation of mine, I'm lowkey upset you didn't cover all of the early 2000's jumpstart games. This was when they transitioned from 2D to 3D and did weird things like changing Pierre from a polar bear to a panda and Keisha from a koala to a cheetah.
I also wish you gave Haunted Island more of a chance! You hardly played it, and I love that one :(
Also -- PLEASE cover the Reader Rabbit games next!!
I thought Keisha was a tiger in the 3d games? Those were the only ones I played
@@tobyp2123 you're correct, I didn't remember her labeling herself as a tiger and simply assumed she was a cheetah because one of her few personality traits is always wanting to race you, lol
Am I the only one who remembers a 3d Jumpstart game that was online multiplayer?
I haven't been able to find it in a decade
Sadly, I think that closed down just this year. I have heard bit about it.
@@peter_knetter AWWW WHAT 😭
@@ChubsGlobby Hey! Look online for "JumpStart ReStarted", It's a private server for the now defunct MMO. I can't post links in comments, so hopefully you can find it.
i have a vivid memory of Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer" playing during the kindergarden one from 1994, its literally my oldest memory and i sat through an entire playthrough of it on youtube only for it not to show up lol.
I loved Jump Start 2nd grade, I played it so many times. I still remember the little cricket guy in space saying "a little nippy out there!" When I hear the word nippy. That's the first time I'd heard the word so it stuck I guess.
I was so excited to watch you play my favorite one. Haunted island. And what do you do?? COMPLETELY DISRESPECT IT. NOT EVEN PLAY IT. THAT GAME IS A MASTERPIECE, ICONIC, OUT IF YOUR LEAGUE. Still subbed tho, nice editing
This unlocked a core memory of me playing Jumpstart Spanish as a kid a lot…
