''[['''Putt-Putt]]''''' is a series of point-and-click children's games originally made by [[Humongous Entertainment]], which was later bought by [[Atari]]. The series spans seven [[Adventure Game|Adventure Games]]s and five [[Gaiden Game|Gaiden Games]]s.
 
Putt-Putt is a [[Sentient Vehicle|talking purple car]], in a world where [[Sentient Vehicle|vehicles]], as well as other things (e.g. some animals) can talk). The series follows the adventures of Putt-Putt and his (non-talking but intelligent) dog Pep.
 
The [[Adventure Game|Adventure Games]], in order, are:
Line 41:
* [[Attract Mode]]: Featured in ''Putt-Putt and Pep's Balloon-o-Rama''.
* [[Audio Adaptation]]: The [[Tie-in Novel]] ''Putt-Putt's Night Before Christmas'' came with a cassette tape of the same name.
* [[Auto-Scrolling Level]]: The entirety of ''Bear Stormin{{'}}'' in ''Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon'' and ''Circus Stormin{{'}}'' in ''Putt-Putt & [[Fatty Bear]]'s Activity Pack''.
* [[Batman Can Breathe in Space]]: Putt-Putt and Pep are somehow able to breathe on the moon. Pep is wearing a space helmet in space, but loses it on the moon.
* [[Big No]]:
Line 130:
* [[Never Trust a Trailer]]: Even when the "trailer" is part of the game itself: the Invitation Musical from ''Putt-Putt: Pep's Birthday Surprise'' claims that the party guests will include "the limo from the mansion" and "some Martians from a ''[[Putt-Putt]]'' [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|game that you have played before]]." Said characters do not appear outside of the song; additionally, the limo's mansion isn't shown at all, and the Martians aren't even from a previous game.
* [[New Neighbours as the Plot Demands]]
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Yes, even in a kids' game. The minigame ''Bear Stormin{{'}}'' (later recycled as ''Circus Stormin{{'}}'' in ''Putt-Putt & [[Fatty Bear]]'s Activity Pack'') has near-impossible later levels. You can't forget a single balloon, or hit a single enemy, otherwise you're garaunteedguaranteed a death. Did we mention no continues?
* [[Oddly-Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo]]: ''Putt-Putt: Pep's Birthday Surprise'', even though it wasn't technically made by Humongous.
* [[Once an Episode]]: Every adventure game but ''Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon'' and ''Putt-Putt: Pep's Birthday Surprise'' has a set of characters who tell each other jokes. ''Putt-Putt Joins the Parade'' has the dog, cat, duck and bunny, ''Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo'' has Thwack and Quack, ''Putt-Putt Travels Through Time'' has King Chariot and the three children, ''Putt-Putt Enters the Race'' has Maxie and Slapsy, and ''Putt-Putt Joins the Circus'' has Ratso and Catnip.
