Happy Tree Friends Adventures is the very first HTFA series game. Created by a user named radel999 (now HTFMegaman), this 2D side-scrolling platform game became a hit with little YouTube users. The characters in the game are based off MondoMedia's popular cartoon, Happy Tree Friends, while the enemies are based on Super Mario Bros. series.

Gameplay

The game itself is a basic 2D side-scrolling platform game, with HTF characters as the heroes, which includes Cuddles, Flaky, Petunia, and Nutty. Each character had their own movement stats, like Cuddles having well-rounded stats, Flaky jumps high, Petunia moves fast, while Nutty is slow and is a low jumper. Before you enter each level, you'll be given a chance to select a character for that level. The heroes start with 3 lives and 3 health points (hearts). Getting contact with enemies and hazards will make them lost a health point. Lost all health points or falling into deep pits will make them lose a life. Lost all lives and the game is over.

The objective of the game is to go through levels and areas, defeating bosses (Bowser and his minions), and rescue Giggles from the hands of Bowser. Players will find and pick up crystals for points, hearts for recovery, and lollipops for extra life. The tree friends can also shoot orbs to defeat enemies.
