Pajama Sam 3: You Are What You Eat from Your Head to Your Feet is an adventure game developed and published by Humongous Entertainment, for the Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, PlayStation, and Steam operating systems. This was the last adventure game to feature Pamela Segall Adlon as the voice of Sam. In the final game of the series, Adlon is replaced by Elisha Ferguson.
Plot
Pajama Sam has eaten nineteen boxes of cookies in a rush to collect box tops to redeem for an action figure of his favorite superhero and namesake, Pajama Man. The twentieth box of cookies flee to the pantry of their own accord, and Sam dons his costume and pursues them. He is whisked away through his pantry to Mop Top Island, home to the six food groups of the USDA's Food Guide Pyramid. Mop Top Island is analogous to Sam's body; locations are based on, and named after, organs and body parts.
Sam arrives in the land of snacks and sweets, at a celebration—a play on "political party"—held by the Snacks and Sweets Aggressive Majority Party, a political party that intends for the snacks and sweets to conquer the island (representing Sam's own poor diet). Upon expressing concern that he may spoil his dinner, the SSAM imprison him in a candy cane jail. He escapes (by using a bonbon and a piece of the bars to get the key) with his cellmate Florette, a broccoli stalk and the vegetables' delegate for a food-group peace conference at the "Food Pyramid". At the Pyramid, Sam learns that only two of the delegates (Florette, and the snacks and sweets' own Luke Wigglebig, a lollipop who opposes the SSAM) are present for the meeting. The other four—the dairy foods' cheddar cheese wedge Chuck Cheddar, the fruits' green apple Granny Smythe, the bread and grains' baguette Pierre le Pain, and the meat and proteins' kidney bean Bean 47—are unaccounted for, and General Beetfoot of the vegetables intends to launch a counter-offensive against the snacks and sweets if he realizes the delegates are missing. Sam sets out to rescue the delegates and avoid war, gathering up his lost box tops in the process.
Sam rescues Bean 47 from a construction site in the Foot Hills (the feet), rescues Pierre le Pain from a boardwalk amusement park at Muscle Beach (the muscular system), collects Chuck Cheddar from a dig site and ski resort (the teeth), and rescues Granny Smythe in the Bluburbs (the gastrointestinal tract). Sam returns to the Food Pyramid to find the delegates in heated debate, unable to compromise. Intervening, Sam declares "no food is an island", and helps the delegates to understand that different kinds of food work best together. The delegates declare peace, and amid the celebration, Sam realizes he missed dinner.
Gameplay
Originally released as a Junior Adventure for children ages 3–8, the aim of this game is to get the 4 missing delegates for the meeting to declare happiness between the 6 food groups, with the intent of teaching children about healthy eating. Each of the four missing delegates can be in either of two unique predicaments, which are randomly chosen on a new playthrough, and as in the second title of the series, players can also choose which scenarios to play with at the options screen.
