• Title — Putt-Putt • Developer — Humongous Entertainment • Publisher — Humongous Entertainment Atari Infogrames Night Dive Studios • Genre — Adventure, edutainment • Platforms — DOS, Microsoft Windows, 3DO, Macintosh, iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 • Creator — Shelley Day • First Release Version — Putt-Putt Joins the Parade • First Release Date — November 6, 1992 • Latest Release Version — Putt-Putt's Fun House • Latest Release Date — May 22, 2013

Putt-Putt was originally thought up by Shelley Day as a series of bedtime stories for her son, Travis; the first story involved Putt-Putt saving a cat caught in a tree. Child actor Jason Ellefson provided Putt-Putt's voice for the first eight games. In the next three games, Nancy Cartwright voiced Putt-Putt. Michelle Thorson voiced Putt-Putt in Pep's Birthday Surprise. The games are supported by ScummVM and thus can be played on other platforms such as handhelds. Humongous has brought several Putt-Putt and other titles to iOS and Android. In 1997, Humongous made an agreement with Lancit Media Entertainment to create an animated TV series titled Putt-Putt 'n Pals, along with films and home video releases. Ultimately, the deal fell through. Several games from the original series were later re-released by Humongous on Steam in April 2014, alongside games from the Pajama Sam, Freddi Fish, and Spy Fox series. The first two games used pixel art graphics; starting with the third game, the series uses hand-drawn animation.

Humongous Entertainment classified the adventure games as Junior Adventures for kids 3-8. • Adventure Games • Title — Release date — Platforms — Developer/Publisher • Putt-Putt Joins the Parade — November 6, 1992 (MS-DOS) * 1993 (3DO) * 1995 (Macintosh, Microsoft Windows) * April 17, 2014 (Linux, Steam) — 3DO, Android, iOS, Macintosh, Microsoft Windows, MS-DOS — Humongous Entertainment • Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon — * October 1, 1993 (MS-DOS) * 1994 (3DO) * 1995 (Macintosh, Microsoft Windows) * April 17, 2014 (Steam) * May 5, 2014 (Linux) • Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo — * August 10, 1995 (Microsoft Windows) * October 18, 1995 (Macintosh) * 2005 (DVD) * November 15, 2011 (iOS) * 2012 (Android) * April 17, 2014 (Steam) * July 3, 2014 (Linux) * August 13, 2015 (iOS Re-Release) * February 10, 2022 (Nintendo Switch) * November 3, 2022 (PlayStation 4) — Android, DVD, iOS, Macintosh, Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 • Putt-Putt Travels Through Time — * June 1, 1997 (Macintosh, Microsoft Windows) * August 14, 2012 (iOS) * October 4, 2013 (Android) * April 17, 2014 (Steam) * May 15, 2014 (Linux) * January 3, 2022 (Nintendo Switch) * November 3, 2022 (PlayStation 4) — Android, iOS, Macintosh, Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 • Putt-Putt Enters the Race — * January 1, 1999 (Macintosh, Microsoft Windows) * April 17, 2014 (Steam) * June 27, 2014 (Android, iOS) — Android, iOS, Macintosh, Microsoft Windows • Putt-Putt Joins the Circus — * July 11, 2000 (Macintosh, Microsoft Windows) * October 14, 2013 (iOS) * April 17, 2014 (Steam) * May 29, 2014 (Linux) — Android, iOS, Macintosh, Microsoft Windows • Putt-Putt: Pep's Birthday Surprise — * September 16, 2003 (Macintosh, Microsoft Windows) * April 17, 2014 (Steam) — Macintosh, Microsoft Windows • Junior Arcade • Title — Release date — Platforms — Developer/Publisher • Putt-Putt and Pep's Dog on a Stick — * October 15, 1996 (Macintosh, Microsoft Windows) * January 6, 2014 (iOS) * April 17, 2014 (Steam) — iOS, Macintosh, Microsoft Windows — Humongous Entertainment • Putt-Putt and Pep's Balloon-o-Rama — * October 15, 1996 (Macintosh, Microsoft Windows) * 1999 (Handheld) * April 17, 2014 (Steam) — Handheld, Linux, Macintosh, Microsoft Windows — * Humongous Entertainment * Toymax (Handheld) • Activity Packs • Title — Release date — Platforms — Developer/Publisher • Putt-Putt's Fun Pack — March 26, 1993 — 3DO, Macintosh, Microsoft Windows, MS-DOS — Humongous Entertainment • Putt-Putt and Fatty Bear's Activity Pack — * March 25, 1994 (Macintosh, Microsoft Windows) * April 17, 2014 (Steam) — Macintosh, Microsoft Windows • Putt-Putt's One-Stop Fun Shop — May 23, 2000 — Macintosh, Microsoft Windows • Putt-Putt's Fun House — May 22, 2013 — iOS — * Humongous Entertainment * Nimbus Games

Players can change Putt-Putt's color to original purple, red, orange, yellow, green or blue. All colors can be painted on again. This also changes the color of the dashboard in Putt-Putt Enters the Race and Putt-Putt Joins the Circus. In Putt-Putt Joins the Parade and Putt-Putt Enters the Race, each color change costs three coins that can be collected in the game world. In Putt-Putt: Pep's Birthday Surprise, Putt-Putt's color can only be changed temporarily before reverting to purple after some traveling. His color can also be changed in certain levels of Putt-Putt and Pep's Balloon-o-Rama by using Pep to pop certain balloons tied to paint buckets, then catching the bucket containing the desired color as it falls to change Putt-Putt to.
