JumpStart Advanced 2nd Grade is a personal computer game created by Knowledge Adventure.

From 2003–2008, it was distributed as the "Fundamentals" disc in a 3- or 4-disc package of the same name, though recently a factory error in some packages caused the Fundamentals disc to be replaced by JumpStart 3D Virtual World: The Quest for the Color Meister going by the same name.

Hopsalot makes plans for a machine he calls the "Soapy Shooter" which will clean up the graffiti, but he lacks the parts he requires to build it.

After the player plays another game in order to make the machine work, Dr. O causes another problem, requiring the user to go on another quest for gadget pieces to make Hopsalot's machines work; there are six different missions total, including inflating the island on which C.J.

's house rests (as Dr. O deflated it), ridding a schoolhouse of worms which infest it thanks to Dr. O, and thawing out a river after Dr. O turns the water into ice cubes.

In this product, he is the head of the JumpStart Intelligence Agency and is prominent on the box art, but despite these points, he does not play as big a part as other characters, such as C.J.

In this game, he is a semi-light brown in color and wears a white tuxedo suit (though his outfit on the box art is much different).

In most other games released around the time, such as other JumpStart Advanced titles, he wore a red sweater with yellow lining and a blue dog collar.

Though the box art seems to suggest Frankie going on daredevil missions, he never does so in the game; he simply stays at headquarters while C.J.

In this product, he appears to be the scientist for the J.I.A., is light brown in color, and wears goggles with a white suit.

His "normal outfit" at the time of the original JumpStart Advanced was simply a teal T-shirt.

His normal outfit at the time contained a tan shirt, pants, a brown vest, and lacked sunglasses (though the hat is the same).

and Edison visits as an "agent in the field", though she always says her name is some sort of variant of Lucy; for example, she calls herself "Dr. Lucicle" in Antarctica and "Lucianova" in Russia (Europe).

He bears an uncanny resemblance to the character Dr. Listick, a villain who appeared in the older JumpStart Reading for Second Graders[1] and the book CJ and the Mysterious Map.

[2] Despite appearing in other JumpStart Advanced games, Casey Cat, Pierre Polar Bear, Eleanor Elephant, and Kisha Koala are absent from JumpStart Advanced 2nd Grade, not including the All-Star feature and the cameo made by Kisha, Eleanor and Casey as faces on Mount Jumpmore (a parody of Mount Rushmore).

A few of the comments made by these characters in the All-Star feature (and the fact that they all are wearing shades) seems to indicate that they are intelligence agents themselves, even though they do not appear in the main game.

In order to earn the gadget piece, though, an educational game must be played by clicking a particular thing.

Once a game is completed, Lucy will give the user a gadget piece, and it will be added to the inventory.

Afterwards, news will be reported that Dr. O has done another crime, Hopsalot will explain his invention that will fix it, and the process repeats.

Also, many games must be played a certain number of rounds in order to be fully completed and for the player to receive a gadget piece.

and Edison must "uncover the secret of the cave drawings" via the user playing a game that teaches reading comprehension.

The arrow keys are used to maneuver the car and the space bar is used to shoot a type of laser that can be used to destroy obstacles.

The task is to find a picture of the same type in the basement of the museum (which must be accessed by clicking an arrow).

touches an enemy dirt devil, he will lose a broom and go back to his starting position.

This game can teach a variety of subjects, including coins of the United States, mathematics, and language arts.

One is to click the star above the world map at the headquarters which will only appear if the user has at least 4 gadget pieces.

If the players choose the star, they will use the gadget pieces they have earned from the games and the invention featured will be the one that Hopsalot is using to fix Dr. O's misdoings.

Once Hopsalot's Laboratory is completed when accessed by the star, progress will be made in the game, but if the bookshelf is clicked, gadget pieces will not be the ones the user has obtained, progress will not be made in the game, and the invention featured will not be one that is used to fix Dr. O's wrongs.
