Voice cast

This game marked the first vocal appearance by Janice since the death of Richard Hunt in 1992. She and Scooter were performed by Matt Vogel, the only time when he voiced these characters. It is also the first vocal appearance of Link Hogthrob since the death of Jim Henson in 1990, as performed by Steve Whitmire, as well as the final time Frank Oz voiced all of his characters before retiring from The Muppets.
