Monsters[]

Main article: Monsters (Playground)

My Singing Monsters Playground has 7 playable characters: Furcorn, Pango, Entbrat, Mammott, Kayna, Congle, and PomPom. Each character also has six unlockable costumes. There are also multiple non playable Monsters in game. Noggin appears outside of all buildings in the main menu and describes each of the game modes. Other Monsters are found in various mini-games.

Mini-games[]

There are 25 mini-games available in My Singing Monsters Playground in three categories: 15 Free for All, 5 2v2 and 5 1v3.

Mini-game	In-game Description	Gameplay Description
Free for All
Hectic Hexes	"Race to the matching images without falling off. Last the most rounds to win."	Players must move their Monster to a tile that shows the same Element icon as seen on the big screen. After a few seconds, all other tiles descend downwards, eliminating all unsuccessful players. Players can also be eliminated by falling off. Over time, fewer platforms spawn. Additionally, electric beams appear after the second set of platforms, which sweep across the play area and stun Monsters on contact. Players must jump to avoid them. The last player standing wins the game.
Hazardous Hurdle	"Don't touch the pipe. It's hot!"	Players have to avoid touching the pipe by jumping over and dodging it. However, it swings unpredictably, suddenly speeding up or down, stopping, and changing directions often.
Stop and Drop	"Keep moving and don't drop!"	Players run across hexagonal platforms that fall after being stepped on, and can jump to cross gaps. The last player standing is the winner.
Keep Away	"Hold the Glowbe as long as you can to fill your meter."	When the Mini-game starts, the Glowbe is at the centre of the map. The aim of the game is to fill your meter by stealing and holding onto the Glowbe. You can tackle other players (or the Glowbe at the start) to steal it. After obtaining the Glowbe, the player is given a temporary speed boost and a shockwave that knocks back nearby opponents.
Snow Rollers	"Absorb any snowball or player smaller than you by rolling over them."	Players ride atop of snowballs. Players can absorb smaller snowballs (and players) than theirs, which gradually increases the size of their snowball and in the case of other players, eliminates them. The Mini-game has a 60-second time limit, but also ends if all players but one are eliminated.
Tobog-gone	"Time your jumps to reach the finish line first."	Players control their monster riding toboggans and going over hills, trying to beat their opponents.
Bitter Critters	"Avoid the bitter critters!"	Players must avoid being hit by the bitter critters, which crawl on the floor, ceiling and walls and launch themselves. The platforms move around occasionally (indicated beforehand by blue sparks appearing on one), and flip if hit by a bitter critter.
Molten Madness	"Use your shield to bounce the balls away. Don't get hit in the back. Three hits and you're out!"	Balls are launched from the corners. Players have shields which reflect balls from the front and the sides, but not the back. If a player is hit three times from behind, they are eliminated. The last player standing is the winner.
Rocket Punch	"Fire rockets at the competition. 3 hits and you're out!"	Players are equipped with launchers that fire fist-shaped rockets. If a player is hit three times by them, they are eliminated. The last player standing wins.
Bank Shot	"Sink the balls in your color pocket to score."	Players ride in vehicles. To score points, players need to sink balls into their color pocket, by shoving them in or by poking them. Players can also be sunk. The Mini-game has a 30-second time limit, and the player(s) with the most points win at the end.
Blast Off	"Run as fast as you can to charge up your ship and try to launch the highest!"	Players need to alternate between pressing 2 buttons to make their Monster run fast to charge up their ship. The Mini-game has a time limit of 10 seconds. The player who launches their ship the highest wins.
Dipster Bop	"Bop the Dipsters as fast as you can!"	Players use hammers to whack Dipsters that come out of the ground to earn points, and can additionally hit other players to stun them for a few seconds. The Mini-game has a time-limit of 30 seconds and the player with the most points wins.
Monster Rally	"It's a race. Drive fast!"	Players control RC cars and race to be the first to complete three full laps of the circuit. Along the top of the track are boosts that speed up the RC car.
Thumpede	"Run away! Don't get thumped."	Players run away from a stampede of Thumpies, avoiding obstacles that include blocks and slime. The last player left wins.
Bouncin Around	"Bounce on another Monster's flower to score."	Players are perpetually bouncing with flowers. To score points, players must bounce on other player's flowers, which gives them a shield for a few seconds. There are portals which send you to the opposite side of the screen. The Mini-game has a time-limit of 30 seconds, and the player with the most points wins.
2v2
Cannon Chaos	"Knock the blocks over onto the other team's side."	Two teams of two players are placed on opposite sides of a wall of blocks, with each player given a cannon. Teams score points by knocking blocks over the opposing team's side, and the team with the most points once all blocks have been knocked over wins.
Pastry Puck	"Most goals wins. If the timer runs out with a tied score, the next goal wins!"	Two teams of two players use bumpers cars to hit a puck that resembles a donut, much like Hockey. Players can boost to gain speed. The game has a time-limit of 60 seconds, and goes into overtime if the scores are tied at the end. In this case, the next goal wins.
Snowbrawl	"Land the most hits in 30 seconds."	Two teams of two players throw snowballs at each other, trying to land the most hits within the 30 second time-limit.
Battleball	"Score the most hits in 30 seconds."	Two teams of two players pick up and throw balls at the other, trying to score the most hits within the 30 second time-limit.
Color Bumper	"Jump to your icon as fast as you can! Work as a team to win!"	Players are put into teams and have to land on their icon to score points. In order to score the most points, teamed-up players must coordinate together to not bump into each other, which stuns them for a brief amount of time.
1v3
Apple Grapple	"Crane: Collect as many apples as you can. Apple Pickers: Collect more apples than the crane, and don't get collected!"	The three players pick up apples by hand, and are a team. The other player controls a crane, which can grab multiple apples at a time, and also collect players. The Mini-game has a time-limit of 30 seconds, and the team with the most apples grabbed wins.
Glowbe in the Dark	"Hammer: Thump them all. Glowbes: Don't get thumped."	The arena is pitch dark, being illuminated by the Glowbes the Glowbes team is holding, with the hammer the other player holds also lighting up briefly when used. The player with the hammer has to thump all players on the Glowbes team in less than 30 seconds to win. If they do not, the Glowbes team wins instead.
Punch-a-Bunch	"Puncher: Thump them all! Runner: Don't get thumped!"	The 3 runners have to avoid being punched by the puncher, who can rotate their machine which has three fists that punch simultaneously. The puncher has to punch all the runners in less than 30 seconds to win. If they do not, the runners wins instead.
Drift Wood	"Logger: Drop the logs to push them off! Runners: Avoid the logs and don't get pushed off."	The runners have to avoid the logs that the logger drops to not get pushed off. The logger has to push all of the runners off in less than 30 seconds to win. If they do not, the runners wins instead.
Tilt a Slime	"Tilter: Tilt the platform to slime them all! Runners: Avoid getting absorbed by the ink!"	The tilter can tilt the platform (which resembles a sunken ship) to move the 3 slime balls of various sizes, while the runners have to avoid being slimed by them. The tilter has to slime all the runners in less than 30 seconds to win. If they do not, the runners win instead.

Notes[]

The entire game takes place within a virtual world called the Playground, which is located inside of (and is accessible from) every Wubbox.
None of the playable monsters are available on Water Island.
After obtaining all the prizes from the Prize Machine, the Noggin says "Congratulations! You've finished decorating the Playground!"
In the final game, each player has a color associated with them: blue for player one, red for player two, green for player three, and yellow for player four. These colors can be observed in many places, including the falling hexagons in Hectic Hexes and the rockets in Blast Off. However, in only the announcement trailer, these colors seem to be associated with the monster selected instead of the player that picked them: Mammott has a cyan color, Congle has a yellow color, Furcorn has a lime color, and Pango has a purple color. By the time of the Character Reveal trailer two months later in July, the colors were altered to function like they do in the final game.
On the Big Blue Bubble website, there is an image of an early version of Hectic Hexes, which uses the Element icons from the Memory Game, the Earth Element icon instead of the Shadow Element icon, some early background models, and different lighting. It can be found here.
The Blast Off mini-game is represented in the original game by the 'Blast Off' Launchpad Decoration.
The Monster Rally mini-game is represented in the main game by the 'Monster Rally' Racetrack Decoration.
The Cannon Chaos mini-game is represented in the main game by the 'Cannon Chaos' Contraption Decoration.
The Can't Touch This achievement is a reference to "U Can't Touch This" by M.C. Hammer, which the Mammott on the icon even wearing the same type of pants said rapper wore in the music video.
