To be honest, the plot is so flimsy I can barely remember the details. He accidentally activates a message that reveals the location of three magical nuts that will bestow magical powers upon the clumsy Scrat and enable him to do something… or prevent something. Scrat’s latest quest for a nut takes him to a mysterious temple that was the ancient home of the Scratazon race (bear with me here).

In fact, there is very little story at all, and what’s there feels like a very old fashioned excuse for the platforming that follows. This has the odd effect of making the game feel only very loosely connected to the movies themselves, perhaps a symptom of there being no current new release to base the story on. Nutty Adventure moves him firmly into the foreground, with none of the other movie characters appearing.

Whether he is responsible for the cracking of glacial walls or the meteor that wipes out the dinosaurs, his single minded quest for the nut that continually eludes him sees him constantly in the background of the movies.

The titular squirrel-thing, Scrat, is well known within the Ice Age Universe as the unintentional catalyst to all manner of planetary disasters.
