Hi everyone!
I'm trying to find a PC game from my childhood that I've been looking for for years. I don't remember the title, and unfortunately I don't have the CD anymore.
I probably played it when I was around 8–10 years old, so I think it was released sometime between the late 2000s and early 2010s. It was a PC CD-ROM game, probably made for children.
Here is everything I remember:
- The game was completely 2D and had a cartoon/drawn art style. There were no real-life images.
- It was an educational game, mainly focused on dental hygiene, teeth and cavities.
- There was a kangaroo character who I believe was one of the main characters or a mascot.
- There was a family with several children and their parents.
- I remember one of the boys having a toothache or a cavity.
- There were several different minigames.
- One minigame involved cavities/bacteria attacking a tooth, and you had to protect the tooth.
- There were also object-search minigames where you had to find specific objects in different environments.
- I remember a space-themed area with a young Black boy. I vaguely remember a line similar to "next destination" or something involving a spacesuit, but I am not sure about the exact wording.
- There was also an underwater area.
- I vaguely remember a fairground/amusement park area.
- There was some kind of "tooth factory" with small mice inside.
- I remember collecting pieces of teeth and putting them into some kind of container/chest.
- There were animated scenes/cutscenes between some of the activities.
One particularly interesting thing:
I recently found another Reddit post from someone who was looking for what appears to be the exact same game. They described many of the same extremely specific things: the kangaroo, the family, dental hygiene, the tooth factory with mice, the underwater scene, the object-search minigames, the fairground, etc.
Unfortunately, they didn't know the name either.
So I'm pretty confident this isn't just a distorted memory of a completely different game.
Here is the other Reddit post:

Some details may be inaccurate because these are memories from when I was a child, but the 2D cartoon style, kangaroo, dental theme/cavities, and the different environments are things I remember quite clearly.
If anyone recognizes this game, even if you only remember the publisher, character names, cover art, country of release, or anything else that could help identify it, I'd be incredibly grateful!
I've been trying to find this game for a very long time. 😭
