Description

The video games follow the same storyline, although the Game Boy Advance adaption follows the television show's story more closely, involving the characters who are from a video game appearing on Earth, and Ace ventures into the Carnival of Doom to find the pieces of the Amulet and defeat Lord Fear, eventually sending the villains back to the Sixth Dimension, the homeworld of the characters.

In the PC and PlayStation 2, the game's plot follows a more detailed plot different from the television show's, but more similar to that of the show's in-universe game. All of the games' cutscenes are shown in the style of a comic strip with speech bubbles. A prologue at the start of the game describes Lord Fear escaping from prison in the Sixth Dimension and stealing the Amulet, but is stopped by Ace and the following fight results in the shattering of the Amulet. Both individuals find a single piece of the Amulet and take there fight to the Carnival of Doom. Ace collects the Amulet pieces scattered around the carnival's nightmarish attractions, fighting such villains as Googler, Lady Illusion, Dirty Rat and his own friend Random Virus who suffers from multiple personality disorder and has two personalities, one good and one evil. Ace eventually confronts Lord Fear in the Haunted House, defeating him and his minions before sending them back to prison using the restored Amulet.

Ace's ally Sparx, has a relatively minor role in the games. She appears briefly in the Gameboy adaptation as part of a tag-team boss battle against Lady Illusion, and only appears in the cutscenes in the 3D games. It has been shown that she is playable in the television show, which uses footage from the videos games.
