Game Levels[]
Party Crashers[]
The game starts with the view of a couch. A Bolt DVD case sits on one of the cushions and a water bottle filled with juice. You hear a voice in the background. "That's it! This has gone on long enough! I'm gonna unleash fury on the count of five, and I'm starting with three! Four!" You then hear a ding. "I thought so. Ha ha ha ha! Oh OW! Hot! Hot!" then Rhino's ball is thrown onto the couch, full of popcorn. Rhino hops onto the couch and announces to the player that he's going to watch a Bolt marathon. He presses the play button on the remote, and game play begins.
The first level is set off the coast of Italy at a huge mansion. The first character you play is Penny in a black spy outfit. She has to find a way to the top of the mansion to get footage of Dr. Calico's henchmen discussing their plans.
Bite Night[]
Penny reaches the top of the mansion. She crawls on top of the skylight, listening in on the henchmen's conversation. "Why keep the professor alive if he refuses to cooperate?" "Because, he's the only person who can finish the weapon's installation." Penny snaps a picture. "Calico says the key is his daughter. If we catch her, the professor will do whatever we ask." The window cracks, and Penny falls through and onto the floor of the mansion. One of the henchmen pulls her up and pulls Penny's mask off. They all exclaim that they found the girl. They all stare at her, wondering what to do with her, and she snaps a close-up picture of a henchman. Then one asks "Where's the dog?". That's when Bolt bursts through the wall, tackling one of the henchmen. Penny tells him "Bolt, sic'em!" Bolt growls ferociously, and begins beating up Calico's minions. Then a helicopter arrives and tries to shoot Bolt with bullets and missiles. Then the helicopter does something stupid: shoots a single missile, which Bolt grabs and throws back at the helicopter, causing it to explode.
One Thousand Mega Bites[]
A henchman is lingering by the fireplace. He turns around and Penny confronts him, asking him where her dad is. The henchman laughs, thinking that Penny wouldn't dare try to hurt him. Penny nods to something offscreen and a piano whacks the henchman. The camera zooms out to reveal Bolt holding one corner of the piano. The henchman reveals that Penny's dad is in the Yukitan jungle in Lamanai, near Belize. He also states, with a hint of sympathy in his voice, that Bolt and Penny can't win, because there are too many henchman. Penny then asks Bolt if he's gonna hurt the henchman, and the henchman (thinking the question was aimed at him) says that he doesn't know what Calico's gonna do to Penny's dad. Then Penny tells him that she was talking to Bolt, and Bolt brings the piano down on the henchman. In the next scene, Bolt and Penny have arrived in the Yukitan jungle and are observing their environment. Penny then notices that the temple is beginning to go down into the earth. Penny decides to find out what's going on, and tells Bolt to go play. Bolt then has to go toward the temple and meet up with Penny while having to beat up some more bad guys.
Raisin' a Ruckus[]
This level happens the same time as "One Thousand Mega Bites". You play as Penny, and have to raise the temple by using Penny's Wheelbar. This is also the first level where you have to hack a security system.

Villians[]
There are a number of enemies and villians that you have to encounter throughout the game.
Glovey[]
Gloveys are first seen in the movie. The have gloves that generate electricity, giving them their nickname. They are the weakest of the villians, and easiest to defeat.
Starry[]
Starrys are the second villian you encounter in the game. They highly resemble the Gloveys, but have huge throwing stars instead of electric gloves.
Proddy[]
These are the only female villians. They also are a as a very fast opponent. They have batons with fire on the ends and prefer to start their attack from far away. she is a resemblence to Starry so it is difficult defeat her.
Disky[]
Diskys are more muscular that Gloveys and Starrys. They have discs that stick to anything and explode after a few seconds once they leave the Disky's hand.
Whippy or Bully[]
These guys have very long whips that generate a sonic blast when they use them. They also attack from far away, but can also do a basic swinging attack with their whip when Bolt is close to them.
Stompy[]
Stompys are Calico's fattest and strongest henchmen. They aren't even muscular, and they have very deep voices. It takes a very long time to defeat these guys. Luckily, Penny doesn't have to encounter the Stompys, Diskys, or Whippys, except in the Nintendo DS game. They can roll on the ground because of their round shape and when they stomp, they send out a sonic blast similar to Bolt's superbark.
