Riddles and Jokes is a mini-game in Putt-Putt Joins the Parade. It consists of the Animal Jokers telling jokes and riddles to one another.
Putt-Putt Joins the Parade[]
This mini-game can be found in the Cartown Toy Store where Putt-Putt's magnet is.
For jokes and riddles to be made, the player must click one of the Animal Jokers. The first character clicked will provide a riddle/joke and the second character clicked tells the answer.
Trivia[]
- In the floppy disk version, one of the toys in the Toy Store is a "Box O' Blocks" that cycles through a few animations when clicked. In most CD-based releases, it's replaced with a joke-telling mini-game to take advantage of the extra space (though the Japanese 3DO release omits this, probably to avoid localization headaches). Versions with the joke tellers still contain the Box's graphics and scripting, but disable them by swapping out the clickpoint that triggers them.
- The cat is female and witty, while the dog is male and slow, partaking in the personified cat/dog stereotype.

- The Box seems to have been a fairly late addition—its animations are stored separately from everything else at the very end of the game's data.
- A placeholder or error handler for the Save/Load screen when no preview image is available for a room. Variations on this appear in practically every Humongous game.
