There are two forms of play in Tigger's Honey Hunt, 2½ dimensional platformer style levels, and secondly one of three mini games, which make up 9 levels. In the platform areas Tigger must find a required number of honey pots to exit a level, he can then return after collecting any of the two special bounces he learns along the way, which will help him find the rest of the 100 honey pots that are hidden in each of the platform levels, collecting all of them will unlock 4 photograph pieces that can be collected. There is one friend in each of the platform levels which needs Tigger's help finding a hidden item. Helping them will unlock a Time Trial challenge for that stage. Also hidden in the levels are pieces of photographs that when collected will unlock art work in the "Photo Album", each of the games objectives gives the player a percent of the 100% that is possible when playing the game. Also while most objects are not alive in the 8th level the player must find Roo.
