In JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade, Polly Sparks has over 40 unique nicknames for Botley that appear throughout the game. This video includes various examples gleaned from voice clips extracted from the game.

Polly Spark’s redesign! I drew her mostly because @fairygirl04​ ended up designing her for my AU and I wanted to quickly get a feel for how it felt to actually draw her.

Polly Spark from Jumpstart 3rd grade. I used to play it at one point as a child. Can't remember when exactly though, but this brings back memories

[calihunt]

So I was watching a play through of Jumpstart 3rd Grade, and Botley listed all the effects of Polly's meddling with time, and then he said (and I quote): "An orangutan has just been elected President of the United States in a landslide!" Guys...it's already happened...

In the Swedish release of JumpStart 3rd Grade, Botley is named Roybot, and Polly Spark is named Klara Blixt. Botley's name appears to be a combination of Roy, a name typically used for boys in various languages, and "robot", which has the same meaning in Swedish as it does in English. Polly's first and last name are both genuine Swedish names, with her last name, Blixt, also being the Swedish word for lightning, which bears a similiarity to her original last name, Spark. Her first name, Klara, can mean 'bright'.

Random Thought

Okay, so many of us grew up with educational computer games (JumpStart, Humongous Enertainment, etc.), but how many of you have wondered if they could’ve also been real TV shows as well? I mean, imagine the possibilities...

A cartoon based on JumpStart 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain, and each week Botley has to foil a new scheme by Polly Sparks.

If The Learning Company’s “ClueFinders” were a real show (could be cartoon or live action), and their robot friend Lap-Trap (IIRC) could be like a modified iPad.

Another JumpStart cartoon starring Frankie the Dog.

A much more action oriented Jump-Start cartoon staring Jo Hammett and her search to stop Dr. X (from the 5th grade game, and it would sort of have the same feel as Batman with the lighting).

All of Humongous’s characters in their own shows, or maybe one big Humongous show where Putt-Putt, Pajama Sam, Freddi Fish, and Spy Fox (and maybe other characters) get their own mini-segments like Tiny Toons or Animaniacs.

All these but they retain their 90s origins. They just have to.

In JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade, there is a small shark-like robot that only appears in a handful of scenes. Very little is known about it, not even its name, but it appears to serve as a minion of sorts to Polly. It can be seen with Polly in Professor Spark's chamber at the beginning and end of the game, and its only other appearance is in the generator room, where it leaves a banana peel for Botley to slip on when that location is visited for the first time.
