Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon

Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon (after a bizarre accident involving his dog named Pep, a butterfly, and apparently rocket-grade fireworks) ... but he comes back, complete with the requisite "new friend" who is immediately reduced to occasional cameo appearances. At least he got it better off than Fatty Bear.

Graphics#

A generic placeholder for the save/load screen when no preview image is available for a room.

Music#

All Versions#

The tracks and their names are from the 3DO version, but equivalent data for these exists in all releases.

Name	File	Notes
PUTTM03		Instrumental version of the title music.
PUTTM11		Seems too short to be one of the main moon themes; possibly had some specialized use?
PUTTM26		Variation on a theme used in several other tracks.
PUTTM31		Probably meant to be moon surface music.
PUTTM32		Same as above.
PUTTM35		Slower, melody-less version of the Man in the Moon's theme.
PUTTM36		Plays when Putt-Putt gets blasted into space. The cutscene is only about 30 seconds long, so the last bit is never heard.

DOS#

This track exists only in the DOS version (which doesn't use external sound files, so there's no associated filename).

3DO#

These tracks are only in the Game Boy version ... okay, maybe not.

This version has a few other oddities with its music files: the file numbering skips tracks 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 22, 30, and 37, and the game's song file list contains an entry for "PUTTM37.DMU", even though no such file exists.

Dialogue#

These lines for the newscaster on the radio aren't used for obvious reasons. Probably the first of the series' many developer in-jokes, which would come to full fruition in the sequel.

This page or section needs more audio. There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough audio. Please fix this. Specifically: Replace with proper sound rips

Debug Output#

Almost all SCUMM-based Humongous games contain debug console output for various game bits and bobs (starting and stopping music, values of important variables, etc.). These aren't normally displayed; the simplest way to view them is to run the game in ScummVM and set its debug level to 0 or higher.

Error Handler#

He can't talk to you. The SCUMM DIETY.

The invalid conversation handler from Putt-Putt Joins the Parade carried over to this game. The easiest way to trigger it is by forcing script 11 to run in ScummVM's debugger.
