Rugrats: Castle Capers is a single-player platform game developed by Software Creations and published by THQ and was released only for the Game Boy Advance, based on the Rugrats cartoon series.

Gameplay is very similar to the gameplay of Rugrats: Royal Ransom and shares the same plot, released a year later.

Rugrats: Castle Capers received generally positive feedback from critics upon release, with GamingTarget giving the game an 8.5 out of 10, and GameVortex stating that while it may not be the most mature or genre breaking game, "it's fun - even if you aren't a fan of the show." [3] [4]
