Electric chairs positioned at key points recharge Jack, and in some places, the player can even take control of Zero. Jack starts with a 'frog gun' and gains more tools and powerups as he progresses and rescues the townsfolk from the bugs and beasties plaguing them. The Pumpkin King's game mechanics are typical of the time period, being a side-scrolling platformer that requires some puzzling and battling to progress through the game. Of course, Jack takes offense to him attacking the town and kidnapping Sally and ends up battling him for the right to the holiday. Through the game, we learn that Oogie was the king of a now-defunct holiday, Bug Day, and that he's angry that Halloween pushed it into obscurity. The game kicks off with Oogie hearing from his henchmen that Jack is scarier than him, which angers him into sending bugs to attack Halloween Town. Developed by Tose and released for the Gameboy Advance in 2005, Nightmare Before Christmas: The Pumpkin King takes place a year before the movie's events.
